- Another Samsung tri-fold leak has emerged
- The main screen size is said to be 9.9 inches
- It seems the phone will be launching this year
Samsung has confirmed that it’s working on a tri-fold foldable phone, and while we don’t have too many details about it yet, the latest leak around the handset gives us some more information about the screen size.
This tip comes from well-known leaker Digital Chat Station (via Notebookcheck), who says that we’re looking at a main screen size of around 9.9 inches. That’s a little smaller than the 10.2-inch display sported by the Huawei Mate XT tri-fold.
It also lines up rather neatly with previous rumors around this Samsung device: those rumors have predicted a main screen size of 9.96 inches and an outer screen size of 6.49 inches, which also indicates a key difference from the Huawei Mate XT.
Whereas the three panels of the Mate XT fold back on each other, leaving a third of the screen visible when it’s closed, the Samsung tri-fold is expected to fold inwards – so all of the main display gets covered up when it’s shut, and a second display is needed.
More leaks and rumors
This same leak suggests that the Samsung tri-fold will be launching this year. It may show up sometime in July, which is when the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 are expected to be unveiled.
Other whispers we’ve heard around this Samsung tri-fold are that it’ll offer 2,600 nits of brightness on its screens, which is a very decent figure and matches up with what’s already offered by the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.
There’s also been talk that the tri-fold might end up being called the Samsung Galaxy G Fold. That’s by no means official yet, but that moniker would fit in neatly with the other foldable phones that Samsung already manufactures.
It’s going to be interesting to see how Samsung prices this phone. Obviously, it’s going to have to cost a lot because of the tech, but we’re hoping that it’s not prohibitively expensive – and that it goes on sale worldwide.
