Quick summary Samsung could launch a second-generation Galaxy Z TriFold in 2027 as it looks to widen choices for customers. The first Z TriFold was produced in limited numbers but sold out almost immediately. According to "industry sources", Samsung has approached suppliers and entered the early stages of development for the new folding phone, with a target launch of 2027. Production of the first Galaxy Z TriFold was thought to be expensive and component prices have only increased since that time. Samsung is banking on growing interest in folding phones, with Apple's launch of the iPhone Ultra in September expected to boost the folding phone segment.
