Samsung\u2019s upcoming tri-fold smartphone has been in the works for what feels like ages, but its long-awaited launch might be just around the corner. The phone \u2014 possibly called the Galaxy Z TriFold<\/a> \u2014 is looking ready for an October launch, and it comes just as the company\u2019s entire foldable lineup is selling better than ever.<\/p>\n According to a report from Yonhap News Agency<\/a>, Samsung is planning to unveil the TriFold at the APEC summit at the end of this month, set to take place in Gyeongju\u00a0on October 31st and November 1st. It\u2019s unclear if this would be a proper launch from Samsung, or if the device could be unveiled at a separate event before being showed off at APEC, but either way, that lines up perfectly with the October launch window<\/a> we\u2019ve been hearing about for ages.<\/p>\n We also still don\u2019t know if Samsung plans to launch its tri-folding device outside of its home region of South Korea and the hotly-contested market of China, where Huawei has already launched two rival tri-fold smartphones. The Galaxy Z Fold SE gives precedent here, having arrived as a more premium iteration on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 this time last year. That device only went up for sale in South Korea and China, though much of its marquee features \u2014 its slimmer chassis, larger display, and removed S Pen support \u2014 made their way to a global audience on this year\u2019s Galaxy Z Fold 7.<\/p>\n Considering how well the Fold 7 is selling in the US, though, it might be worth Samsung giving its TriFold a shot in North America. According to a new report<\/a> from the company, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is performing beyond expectations following its overhaul in July. Nearly 30% of Fold 7 purchases are coming from Galaxy S Ultra models \u2014 perhaps suggesting that the S Pen isn\u2019t nearly as essential a tool as some Samsung fans would have you believe. Samsung\u2019s success didn\u2019t end with its impressive pre-order period, either, as the company reports sales of the Fold 7 continue to exceed that of the Fold 6 by 50%.<\/p>\n \tAdvertisement – scroll for more content<\/p>\n A report from two weeks ago suggested Samsung was still undecided<\/a> on a global launch for the TriFold; perhaps those strong sales numbers will swing it in a positive direction. Either way, we should know much more about the company\u2019s foldable plans very soon.<\/p>\n
