Samsung’s upcoming tri-fold smartphone is all over the news lately. Another report just surfaced claiming that it will make a global launch. In other words, it doesn’t seem like it will remain exclusive to China, Korea, and several other countries in that part of the world.
Samsung certifies a global version of its first tri-fold foldable smartphone
Samsung’s first tri-fold smartphone has surfaced on Bluetooth SIG, and based on what we’ve seen there, it will make its way to both the US and Europe. The Samsung D6390, SM-D639U, SM-D639U1, SM-D639N, and SM-D639B variants appeared.
The first two models mentioned here are aiming for China and South Korea markets. The third and fourth models are aiming to launch in the US, these are carrier-locked and unlocked models. The SM-D639B, on the other hand, is the international variant.
Now, don’t get too excited if you’re expecting the device to launch in Europe. We still cannot confirm that, even though it’s a possibility. Based on the latest report from a trusted source, the US, China, and South Korea will get the phone, along with the UAE. Taiwan and Singapore are also likely launch markets for the phone.
Their Bluetooth certification did not reveral any other information, though. Well, other than signaling there could be some differences between them, but we don’t have any specific information at the moment.
That phone’s design was partially shown very recently
Samsung showcased this smartphone recently at the K-Tech Showcase in Korea. It was expected to fully launch at the APEC Summit, but that did not happen. Samsung did confirm that the phone is coming by the end of the year, though.
Samsung will not be the first company to launch it, however. Huawei already has two tri-fold smartphones out there, the Mate XT and Mate XTs. Their availability is not exactly wide, however.
The very first tri-fold handset from Samsung is tipped to have a 10-inch display when fully unfolded, along with 8-inch panel when unfolded halfway, and a 6.5-inch panel when fully folded. The device will also be quite expensive.
