A report from South Korea claims that Samsung is planning to launch a dual-foldable phone in the second half of this year. Unlike Huawei's dual-folding phone, Samsung's dual-foldable device reportedly folds twice inwards (like the shape of G). This form factor has its advantages, as it doesn't have outward folding edges covered by a screen. Hence, it is more durable than an S-shaped foldable device.
It will have a regular phone-like screen when it is fully folded. When completely unfolded, it will resemble a large-screen tablet. It isn't clear if the device will have a separate cover screen.
Samsung is said to be planning to unveil the device alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in mid-2025. The foldable screen on the device will be made by Samsung Display, Samsung Electronics' display manufacturing division. The hinges for the device are being tested by multiple brands, including Korea's FineMtech and KH Vatec and China's Huanli.
The report also claims that Samsung will not use an under-display camera on its dual-folding device. Samsung is reportedly planning to manufacture less than 300,000 units of this upcoming foldable phone.
