Samsung’s plans for its next wave of futuristic devices appear to have shifted. The company had been expected to showcase its first tri-fold smartphone alongside the upcoming XR headset this month, but new reports suggest the foldable won’t be ready in time. Instead, the spotlight will fall solely on the headset, leaving foldable fans waiting a little longer.

According to ETNews, Samsung is preparing to launch the Project Moohan XR headset on October 21. The device will mark Samsung’s official entry into mixed reality, with features like AI-assisted controls, advanced eye and hand tracking, and support for a wide range of Android apps. It’s powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 and uses a high-resolution display, positioning it as a strong challenger to Meta’s Quest series and Apple’s Vision Pro.

The Galaxy Tri-Fold, however, has reportedly been pushed back. The inward folding tri-fold was initially tipped to launch together with the headset. Samsung is said to be holding off until late November, giving the device more time for final quality checks while also spacing out its big launches.

Samsung has already proven itself a leader in book-style foldables with the Galaxy Z Fold lineup, but the Tri-Fold represents a bigger leap—and with that comes added complexity. By separating the launches, the company ensures that each product gets its own moment, and that the Tri-Fold’s debut isn’t overshadowed by the excitement around XR.

The delay may test the patience of fans who have been waiting years for a true tri-fold phone, but it doesn’t look like the project is in jeopardy. Instead, Samsung seems to be playing it safe, aiming to close out the year with back-to-back showcase products: Moohan for XR in October, and the Tri-Fold foldable soon after.
