Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold 2 and Galaxy Z Slide are on the way, first details leak

"Samsung has just discontinued the Galaxy Z TriFold, its first double-folding smartphone, in Korea, after a very short three-month run. However, the company is apparently not done with the form factor entirely."

"It will be thinner and lighter than the original TriFold. In fact, the TriFold 2 is said to be only very slightly thicker than the Galaxy Z Fold7, which is 8.9mm thick when folded. For reference, note that the TriFold is 12.9mm thick when folded, so this will be a very noticeable change."

"Samsung is also working on the prototype of its first-ever sliding-screen smartphone, which will most likely end up being called Galaxy Z Slide if it ever does become an actual product. This one is currently tentatively scheduled to arrive in late 2027 or early 2028, if everything goes well."

Samsung has discontinued its Galaxy Z TriFold double-folding smartphone in Korea after only three months on the market. Despite this short lifespan, the company continues pursuing the form factor with a successor, the TriFold 2, expected in mid-2027. This next-generation model will be significantly thinner and lighter than the original, measuring only slightly thicker than the Galaxy Z Fold7 at approximately 8.9mm when folded, compared to the original TriFold's 12.9mm thickness. Additionally, Samsung is developing its first sliding-screen smartphone prototype, tentatively named Galaxy Z Slide, with a planned release in late 2027 or early 2028, pending successful development.
