Samsung's long-rumored tri-fold smartphone is officially on its way. While it was noticeably absent from the company’s Galaxy Unpacked event yesterday where the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 took the spotlight Samsung Electronics President TM Roh has now confirmed that the tri-fold device will launch before the end of 2025.
Samsung’s First Tri-Fold Phone Is Coming: What We Know
In a recent statement, TM Roh assured fans and tech enthusiasts that Samsung’s tri-fold phone is still very much in development. The company is currently focused on "perfecting the product and its usability" before its official debut.
While naming details are still undecided, rumors suggest the device might be called the Galaxy G Fold. However, Roh confirmed that branding decisions will be made closer to the product's release date.
A Unique Fold Design That Puts Durability First
According to earlier leaks and patents, Samsung’s tri-fold design will fold inward, protecting the main display when the phone is closed. This is a key advantage over Huawei’s Mate X series, which uses an outward-folding display that remains exposed and more vulnerable to damage.
This innovative inward tri-fold will likely include:
• Two hinges for a three-panel fold
• A primary foldable display
• An additional cover display for quick tasks without unfolding
While this setup will likely increase manufacturing complexity and cost, it also offers better screen protection and usability.
Pricing: Expect Premium, Not Affordable
Let’s be real Samsung’s tri-fold smartphone won’t be cheap. With the Galaxy Z Fold7 already receiving a price hike, it's safe to say the upcoming tri-fold will be the most expensive foldable in Samsung’s lineup.
Although we once hoped foldables would become more affordable over time, these new ultra-premium devices suggest that foldable pricing is going in the opposite direction at least for now.
Expected Launch Timeline
TM Roh's confirmation points to a late 2025 launch, which means we could see an official reveal sometime in Q4 2025. That gives Samsung time to fine-tune the hardware and software experience to ensure it's not just a gimmick, but a truly usable new category of smartphone.
Final Thoughts
With Samsung confirming its tri-fold smartphone for launch by the end of 2025, we’re entering a new era of foldable innovation. While pricing will be steep, the focus on usability and protection combined with Samsung’s foldable expertise could make this one of the most exciting mobile devices of the year.
Stay tuned for more updates as Samsung inches closer to unveiling its most ambitious foldable yet.
