Samsung said to weigh earlier Galaxy Z TriFold 2 launch
Unconfirmed reports say Samsung may move faster on a tri-fold successor after Apple entered the foldable market with the iPhone Duo.
Samsung is reportedly considering an earlier launch for a successor to its Galaxy Z TriFold. The claim comes from reports that cite unnamed sources inside the company, and it follows Apple’s recent announcement of the iPhone Duo.
According to those reports, Samsung wants to speed up its work in the foldable segment now that Apple has entered it. Analysts quoted in the coverage expect Apple to become Samsung’s biggest competitor in foldables and to capture a large share of that market before long. Both reports place the move in the wake of the iPhone Duo announcement.
Neither Samsung nor Apple has confirmed any timing for such a device. No specifications, design details or launch window appear in the reports, and they do not say what a new model would change compared with what is available now.
The plan is described as something under consideration rather than a decision, which leaves the schedule unconfirmed.
