Samsung's Upcoming Tri-Foldable Smartphone Leaked Specifications

Samsung is reportedly gearing up to launch its first tri-foldable smartphone, aligning itself with the innovative designs seen in devices like the Huawei Mate XT. However, recent leaks indicate that this anticipated smartphone may not offer groundbreaking advancements in terms of specifications. Particularly, the charging speed appears to be lesser than what many consumers might hope for. Exciting yet potentially disappointing features have caused a wave of speculation among tech enthusiasts and consumers alike.

Samsung is developing a tri-foldable smartphone that is set to be unveiled this year. However, for those expecting advanced features aside from its multi-fold display, the reality may be more muted than anticipated. Reports indicate that the upcoming Galaxy tri-fold device will offer a charging speed of just 25W, with actual functionality perhaps being slower. It's likely that Samsung will advertise the performance as 25W, despite ongoing criticism about its slow charging capabilities. For context, the new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra only allows for charging at 45W, while competing brands, particularly from China, have substantially higher wattages and faster charging rates, such as the Xiaomi 15 Ultra's 90W wired and 80W wireless speeds, alongside 10W reverse wireless charging options.

Despite the criticism, Samsung maintains a significant market share within the global smartphone scene. The company often prioritizes the perfection of its features before implementation, particularly concerning battery charging; faster charging can pose safety risks, particularly after the Galaxy Note 7 incident.

Camera Specifications for the Tri-Foldable

The Galaxy S25 Ultra faced backlash for its lack of major improvements in camera technology. In a similar vein, Samsung may opt against using under-display cameras for its upcoming tri-foldable smartphone. These cameras, while providing seamless displays, tend to offer inferior performance compared to conventional cameras, leading Samsung to possibly favor traditional punch-hole designs. Though this information is not finalized, it does suggest varying preferences among users, some of whom may prioritize camera quality over aesthetics.

Amidst the competition, particularly with Apple, which is entering the foldable smartphone realm later than others, Samsung appears invested in ensuring its product meets market readiness. The tri-foldable device will initially launch in South Korea, followed by expansion into other key markets. However, the price point is expected to exceed $2,000, leading many to question the potential demand, as other brands seem to be retreating from the foldable segment altogether due to sluggish sales.
