Samsung will reportedly showcase its trifold device at an economic summit in South Korea on October 31 and November 1. If it does debut, it will be the first time the highly speculated device has been publicly shown.
According to sources at ETNews and The Korea Times, via Android Police, the next-gen folding phone will be a part of Samsung’s exhibitions at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperations (APEC) Summit, but as Andy Boxall points out, this doesn’t seem like an official unveiling of the device.
To add some context, the APEC 2025 summit is primarily a business conference, with the majority of the event focused on promoting economic and business development within the Asia-Pacific region. That being said, as Boxall noted, it is still an odd spot for Samsung to debut a new device, all things considered.
ETNews noted that the device, referred to as the Galaxy Trifold and the G Flex (Samsung also registered trademarks for the name Galaxy Z Trifold back in July), will make its public release “as early as November.”
Once debuted, Samsung is unlikely to produce many of these Galaxy Z Trifolds during the initial production run. According to ETNews, around 50,000 models are expected to be made. Android Police notes that Samsung has increased production of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 to 260,000 units per month.
Samsung has been one of the frontrunners in terms of the foldable phone market. In 2019, they debuted the Samsung Galaxy Fold, and the Z Flip followed a year later in 2020.
