Samsung is finally gearing up to launch its most ambitious foldable yet \u2014 its inaugural tri-fold smartphone, and if the latest reports are accurate, we might see it hit the shelves by the end of 2025. While it was previously rumored to carry the name Samsung Galaxy G Fold, a new leak hints that the device could be called the Galaxy Z TriFold, making it part of the company\u2019s familiar Galaxy Z family instead of a brand-new Galaxy G series.<\/p>\n
Tipster Max Jambor (@MaxJmb) shared that Samsung may officially brand the device as \u201cGalaxy Z TriFold\u201d, which signals the brand’s intention to keep the naming consistent with its other foldables like the Z Fold and Z Flip. This approach makes sense, especially as the device will still be targeting premium foldable users.<\/p>\n
Another leak, this time from Ice Universe on Weibo, suggests that Samsung’s triple-screen smartphone could launch in October. That\u2019s just a month after the rumored September launch of Huawei\u2019s Mate XT Ultimate Design successor, which means Samsung\u2019s tri-fold phone will enter a space that\u2019s just starting to heat up.<\/p>\n
Samsung Mobile President TM Roh has already confirmed the company\u2019s intention to release its tri-fold smartphone before the year ends. Internally, the device is said to go by the codename Q7M, and it\u2019s reportedly headed into mass production soon. The model number tied to the phone is SM-F968, and Samsung might go for a limited release initially, possibly to gauge market response.<\/p>\n
When fully opened, the device is expected to offer a large 9.96-inch display, while the folded configuration may reduce it to a more manageable 6.54-inch display. Under the hood, it\u2019s rumored to run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, which would bring flagship-level performance. Powering it all could be a silicon-carbon battery, which might improve both battery life and charging speeds. Additional features may include a triple camera unit, a sleek flat body, and support for 8K video recording at 30fps.<\/p>\n
Design-wise, Samsung appears to be going for a G-style design with inward-folding hinges, similar to what we recently saw in the Tecno Phantom Ultimate G Fold Concept tri-fold phone. With this design, Samsung seems to be targeting the same audience as Huawei\u2019s Mate XT Ultimate Design, which for now is the only tri-folding phone on the market for sale.<\/p>\n
Samsung had already offered a sneak peek of this multi-folding phone during the Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event in January. Initially, it was expected to debut alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, but that didn\u2019t happen. Now, all eyes are on the rumored second Galaxy Unpacked event, where the company might finally reveal the tri-fold in full.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
