Samsung may launch its first tri-fold tablet this year

According to a new report, Samsung may actually launch its first tri-fold tablet this year. This information comes from Yogesh Brar, a tipster. He shared the info via Twitter, while adding that the Galaxy S23 FE may not launch after all.

Samsung may launch its first tri-fold tablet this year

The tipster said that “there is no Galaxy S23 FE in development chain”, contrary to what the rumors have been saying. He did, however, note that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 are there, in addition to a “tri-fold” device.

So, judging by this, Samsung is planning to launch its first tri-fold tablet in 2023. Do take this info with a grain of salt, though, as there are more prominent tipsters out there. Besides, he doesn’t seem to be 100% sure it’ll happen.

Now, Samsung’s tri-fold device has been rumored for a long time. We’ve seen a number of patents that the company registered, on top of some demo devices that were mainly showing off the company’s foldable displays.

One such patent that surfaced in mid-2021 is a good example. It shows a tri-fold device that folds towards the back. That is just one example, though. There were quite a few over the year.

The Galaxy S23 FE may not arrive after all

Regarding the Galaxy S23 FE, rumors are all over the place. First, it was rumored to arrive, then not, then it was mentioned as incoming again, and now the tipster claims that it won’t happen.

We don’t really know what to believe at this point, when it comes to the Galaxy S23 FE. The last rumor, prior to this one, appeared about 10 days ago. That rumor claimed the phone is still coming, but with an older SoC, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

Considering how much of an improvement the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 was over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, that may not be the best idea Samsung had. In any case, it remains to be seen what will happen, we can only wait.
