Samsung is poised to debut its inaugural foldable device in 2025, departing from Huawei’s Mate XT with a unique design approach, according to a report by. While Huawei’s flagship device boasts an outward-folding display, its South Korean counterpart, Samsung, is reportedly developing a tri-fold smartphone featuring an innovative inward-folding mechanism. This unique design allows the two side screens to retract inward, shielding the primary display and ensuring protection from potential damage. The design parallels Samsung’s approach in its Galaxy Z Fold series, leveraging a distinct outer display that remains functional when the device is shut.
Samsung is poised to unveil a revolutionary foldable device capable of folding in two distinct ways. The design and launch model are expected to be finalized by the end of this month. Samsung’s upcoming device won’t imitate Huawei’s approach; instead, its triple-fold design will uniquely fold inward twice.

The Mate XT’s innovative triple-fold design allows its outermost screen to serve as the primary display when folded, rendering an external screen unnecessary. While Samsung’s design approach focuses on durability by encasing the main screen in protective armor, warding off even the slightest possibility of scratches or harm. To implement an inward-folding design, a single hinge would need to be proportionally larger than its counterpart.

The forthcoming tri-fold device is expected to boast a larger unfolded display size of approximately 9-10 inches, surpassing the 7.6-inch primary screen of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6? Samsung aims to capitalise on the innovative technology to revitalize interest in foldables and maintain its competitive edge amid intensifying rivalry. Notwithstanding limited accessibility in China and a higher price point, the Huawei Mate XT has generated significant attention.
