SEOUL, February 05 (AJP) - Samsung Electronics is gearing up to introduce its latest innovation in the foldable smartphone market: the "Galaxy G Fold," a tri-fold device that could compete with Huawei's Mate XT.
The Galaxy G Fold will feature a 9.96-inch display when fully unfolded, significantly larger than the 7.6-inch screen of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. When folded, the device will compact to a more pocket-friendly 6.54 inches, offering users a blend of portability and expansive screen.
Unlike Huawei’s Mate XT, which folds outward, the Galaxy G Fold will employ an inward-folding design, with both sides folding in for a unique and refined mechanism.
There were rumors suggesting that the Galaxy G Fold will be thicker than existing foldable smartphones. However, Samsung is expected to introduce new display technologies and protective films to enhance durability, addressing a common concern among foldable device users.
With a projected price exceeding $2,500, the Galaxy G Fold is positioned as a premium offering. The device will primarily appeal to technology enthusiasts and early adopters rather than the broader consumer market.
Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil the Galaxy G Fold in the latter half of this year, launching it alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. The move signals the company’s strategic expansion in the foldable segment as it aims to solidify its dominance in multi-folding smartphone technology.
