Samsung’s future foldable roadmap may be changing. A new report suggests that Samsung could delay its second TriFold foldable phone for an early launch of a Slidable phone with rollable display technology.

A new report from a Korean leaker suggests the Galaxy Z TriFold 2 is now likely to miss its originally expected launch window due to cost-related challenges tied to its redesigned hinge.

At the same time, Samsung’s long-rumored slidable smartphone is reportedly progressing faster than anticipated and could debut earlier than previous rumors suggested, signaling a possible shift in the company’s priorities.

Samsung is still developing the second-gen Galaxy Z TriFold with a new hinge design. The project has reportedly encountered cost-related hurdles, making it increasingly likely that the device will be pushed beyond its initial launch schedule.

Samsung’s rumored slidable phone has gained momentum and is now expected to launch sooner. While there is still no official timeline, the latest claim hints that Samsung may prioritize bringing a new form factor to market.

Delaying the Galaxy Z TriFold 2 to perfect a new hinge would be a sensible decision if it delivers meaningful improvements instead of minor refinements.

Samsung has already established itself as the leader in commercial foldables, so rushing another premium device to market simply to meet a timeline may not offer much benefit.

At the same time, if the slidable phone is genuinely nearing launch, Samsung could have an opportunity to showcase a completely different direction for mobile hardware while the TriFold continues to mature behind the scenes.

Samsung is once again letting fans reserve its upcoming foldable phones. The next Unpacked event is set for July 22; the in-person event is scheduled in London, while the event will be livestreamed on official Samsung channels and YouTube. Reserving the next Galaxy unlocks some impressive perks for your purchase, with one benefiting even if no purchase is made.

Here are the top 5 reasons to reserve the new Samsung foldable phones:

1. Free $30 Samsung Credit

Samsung officially confirmed it’s giving away a free $30 Credit for everyone reserving the next Galaxy devices. While it comes as cash, the credit can be used toward additional accessory items when you preorder the new foldables.

2. Up to $1,230 in total savings with boosted trade-in credits

Shoppers can secure enhanced trade-in credits for their next purchase. Samsung would offer up to a $1,200 discount toward the new Galaxy Z Fold 8 series phones when you preorder by trading in your existing handset.

We expect Galaxy Z Fold 7 owners to receive up to a $1,200 trade-in discount.

3. Entry to a $500 giveaway

You get automatically enrolled into a $500 giveaway the time you fill the reservation form. Samsung previously offered $5,000 to a lucky winner, but it has now splited in 10 parts, maximizing the win potential.

The best part: You are eligible for the giveaway even if you don’t purchase any new device.

4. Enhanced preorder perks (2x storage upgrade)

Samsung usually offers a free storage upgrade to preorder consumers. Simply put: ordering a 256GB variant would secure a 512GB version for you. The same way, ordering the 512GB model will take the storage to 1TB at no extra cost.

5. Priority delivery and early access to exclusive colors

Galaxy Z Fold 7 broke sales records in various countries last year. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 (wide) and Z Fold 8 Ultra models may further cement Samsung’s foldable ambitions.

If you are considering upgrading to a new foldable phone, reserving early will ensure you don’t have to wait much. Samsung will prioritize reserved users at the time of shipping the devices to deliver them by the day the global sale starts.
