Summary

  • Samsung is reportedly considering moving up the Galaxy Z TriFold 2, with leaker Lanzuk also saying a slideable model could be accelerated after Apple’s iPhone Duo reveal.
  • The sequel is said to target a thinner, lighter and more durable design while keeping pricing nearly identical to the first TriFold’s $2,899 level.
  • That would be notable because the original TriFold reached the US only in January at $2,900 and was discontinued about three months later.
  • An exact launch window remains unclear, and the device may still stick to the previously rumored 2027 timeline despite Apple’s new competitive pressure.
