Samsung will reportedly announce several foldable smartphones this year including a tri-fold phone. Several rumours surrounding the tri-fold have been circulating online, giving us a glimpse of its display sizes, performance and others. Reports suggest that Samsung could name the device as Galaxy G Fold due to its anticipated folding mechanism. Now, a new rumour about the tri-fold has surfaced which gives a glimpse into its expected launch timeline. Therefore, if the Huawei Mate XT (the world's first tri-fold) excites you, then the upcoming Galaxy G Fold could also come to your interest as these two models will be competing with each other.

In terms of design, the Galaxy G Fold will be quite different from the Huawei Mate XT. Firstly, reports suggest that the smartphone may fold inwards instead of the Z-style fold like Huawei. The smartphone could feature a 6.49-inch cover display and a 9.96-inch main foldable display. These measurements are quite different than Mate XT as it is slightly larger in size. Despite its launch, the Galaxy G Fold may not go on sale soon after launch and we also expect a limited availability as the Galaxy Fold Special Edition.  Therefore, even after the launch, we may have to wait a few months more to get our hands on the new range of foldable smartphones.
