Samsung is uncertain about continuing its experimental Galaxy S Edge and TriFold lineups. In an interview with Bloomberg, Mobile Experience division COO Won-Joon Choi stated the company hasn't yet decided whether to release successors to the Galaxy S25 Edge and Galaxy Z TriFold. According to him, the future of these formats remains in question.
The Galaxy S25 Edge, introduced as an ultra-thin competitor to the iPhone 17 Air with a 5.8mm body thickness, failed to meet commercial expectations. Despite its lightweight design and advanced specifications, the model lagged behind more traditional Galaxy S25 series variants in sales. Users reportedly preferred the classic flagship versions, even though they showed interest in the unusual form factor.
The situation with the Galaxy Z TriFold is different. The dual-fold smartphone, priced around $3,000, was viewed more as a demonstration of engineering capabilities and a research project rather than the start of a new mass-market lineup. Its complex construction, high production costs, and limited demand make the prospects for a second generation uncertain.
Still, Samsung hasn't officially abandoned either concept. The company will focus on more predictable models in terms of demand, including an expanded version of the Galaxy Z Fold with a larger screen. This approach allows Samsung to balance innovation with stable sales while keeping experimental products in niche or image-building roles.
