FULL STORY
======================================================================A new 
report points to limited availability for the Samsung tri-fold We might be 
waiting until November before it goes on sale Even then, you might struggle 
to find it outside of South Korea and China 

All the indications are that Samsung is planning to unveil its first tri-fold 
smartphone at an event on Monday, September 29  but if a fresh report is to 
be believed, we're going to be waiting a while before it actually goes on 
sale. 

The report comes from South Korean outlet ET News (via @Jukanlosreve ), and 
while we're relying on Google Translate to understand all the details, the 
prediction here is that it won't be available to buy until November. 

What's more, only 50,000 units are being produced to begin with, with Samsung 
apparently wanting to test the market to see what the response to its new 
device is  around 10 times that number of shipments of the Samsung Galaxy Z 
Fold 7 are expected, for comparison. 

This would make sense given a couple of other details we've previously heard 
about this foldable: that it's going to cost a significant amount of money 
(perhaps as much as $3,500 / 2,610 / AU$5,375), and that it may only be 
available in South Korea and China, at least to start with. A limited release

No doubt Samsung fans outside of South Korea and China would be disappointed 
not to have the chance to buy this phone, but we've seen this strategy before 
from the company, most recently with the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition 
launched in October 2024. 

The latest ET News report makes no mention of international availability, so 
we'll have to wait and see  but 50,000 units won't go far. The article does 
say that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is selling well, and Samsung doesn't want to 
risk affecting that too much with a new device. 

At the moment, there just isn't enough market data to know how popular the 
Samsung tri-fold is going to be. The only tri-fold phone currently on the 
market is the Huawei Mate XT  which is also very expensive and also difficult 
to get in most markets across the world. 

All eyes will be on Samsung on September 29, then  if that is indeed the 
launch date for the tri-fold, which was first teased back in January. Before 
then, we're expecting to see the Galaxy S25 FE and the Galaxy Tab S11 series 
on September 4 . You might also like Samsung just solved the tri-fold naming
