Samsung Plans On Mass Producing Its Tri-Fold Smartphone, The Galaxy G Fold, At The Same Time As Its Galaxy Z Series, Estimated Quantity Aimed At 200,000 Units – Wccftech
After Huawei announced the Mate XT, Samsung is rumored to introduce the world’s second tri-fold smartphone, the Galaxy G Fold, later this year. The Korean giant is preparing to set a mass production course by procuring vital components. According to the latest report, the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 could share the same production date, but the latest estimates reveal that the Galaxy G Fold will target a niche audience with just 200,000 units available.Crucial information received from anonymous sources was published by ETNews, with the tipster @Jukanlosreve summarizing the details on X. Samsung plans to start accumulating parts from April, and given the company’s vast resources, it intends to begin production alongside the Galaxy Z Flip and Galaxy Z Fold 7. One industry source that chose to keep their identity hidden reveals that all three devices could be unveiled at the same time. Since the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and the Galaxy Z Fold 6 launched in July, we will revisit this report to see if Samsung unveils the three devices in the same month.One feature lacking from the Galaxy G Fold will be that it does not ship with S Pen support. This is because the tri-fold smartphone will not have a digitizer, which is essential for this functionality. The report states that Samsung does not wish to go down this route because adding a digitizer will make the device thicker, and if the Galaxy G Fold wants to compete with the Mate XT, this is one trade-off that it has to make. Also, the estimated units available worldwide will be 200,000, hinting that it will be targeted to a limited audience.This minute figure indicates that Samsung intends to stamp an expensive price tag, which was undoubtedly expected. Looking at Huawei’s global figure of €3,499, or $3,660 for the Mate XT, we will not be surprised to see the Galaxy G Fold sold at a similar range, but it will have multiple advantages over its new competitor. Where the Mate XT lacks any Google services, the Galaxy G Fold could be widely adopted due to this difference, not to mention that we might see the Snapdragon 8 Elite as part of its innards.Compared to the Kirin 9010 powering the Mate XT, the Snapdragon 8 Elite will run circles around it, and it should deliver a new experience when found in Samsung’s first tri-fold smartphone. As for the other specifications, the Galaxy G Fold is slated to feature a large 9.96-inch display when completely unfolded, along with a 6.49-inch cover display.News Source: ETNewsSome posts on wccftech.com may contain affiliate links.
