Samsung Launched The Galaxy Z Fold 7 But Where Is The Tri-Fold Device?
Samsung Galaxy tri-fold device launch has been in the news for a while and the company might have given us more clues about its unveiling.
Samsung Galaxy Unpacked came and went this month, where we saw the new Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7 and the Galaxy Watch 8 series. However, many people expected the brand to have a surprise unveiling or a short teaser for another product, which eventually ended up being the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE model.
But where is the tri-fold device that has been in the news for a few months, and Samsung even gave us a teaser of the product at the Galaxy S25 launch in January. A new report gives us more insight into what Samsung plans to do with the next-gen foldable device and when it could launch.
Samsung's mobile business chief has reportedly shared the launch details for the tri-fold device which could be called the Galaxy G Fold. TM Roh has been quoted in a report by The Korea Times, saying the company is actively working on the tri-foldable device and it intends to launch the new product later this year.
Roh is probably a good source as an official spokesperson for the brand, and these comments suggest Samsung is ironing out the final bits of the new device before having it ready to launch before the year ends. He does not give any specifics on the timeline, but we can assume it could be around October or even November, once the iPhone 17 buzz is over.
Samsung Tri-Fold Device Launch: What It Might Offer?
Samsung's tri-fold device is still a mystery at least in terms of the features and hardware but a new leak has hinted at its possible launch price. The details from South Korea suggest the Samsung tri-fold price could be around $3,000 (Rs 2.56 lakh approx) which takes it into the Apple Vision Pro territory.
Huawei showed us what a tri-fold device can offer, especially when you unfold them. You get a smartphone as well as a 10-inch screen like a tablet packing into one product.
The company even offers a keyboard and other accessories to really make use of its versatility. Samsung is expected to have a similar plan for its rumoured Galaxy Fold G model, and it needs the software to be tuned and optimised to run seamlessly across all the avatars of this device. And if the product is going to cost as much, the company needs everything to be close to being perfect.

Jury orders Tesla to pay more than USD 200 million in Autopilot crash case
Last Updated: Miami, Aug 1 (AP) A Miami jury decided that Elon Musk's car company Tesla was partly responsible for a deadly crash in Florida involving its Autopilot driver assist technology and must pay the victims more than USD 200 million in punitive damages. The federal jury held that Tesla bore significant responsibility because its technology failed and that not all the blame can be put on a reckless driver, even one who admitted he was distracted by his cell phone before hitting a young couple out gazing at the stars. The decision comes as Musk seeks to convince Americans his cars are safe enough to drive on their own as he plans to roll out a driverless taxi service in several cities in the coming months. The decision ends a four-year long case remarkable not just in its outcome but that it even made it to trial. Many similar cases against Tesla have been dismissed and, when that didn't happen, settled by the company to avoid the spotlight of a trial. 'This will open the floodgates," said Miguel Custodio, a car crash lawyer not involved in the Tesla case. 'It will embolden a lot of people to come to court." The case also included startling charges by lawyers for the family of the deceased, 22-year-old, Naibel Benavides Leon, and for her injured boyfriend, Dillon Angulo. They claimed Tesla either hid or lost key evidence, including data and video recorded seconds before the accident. Tesla has previously faced criticism that it is slow to cough up crucial data by relatives of other victims in Tesla crashes, accusations that the car company has denied. In this case, the plaintiffs showed Tesla had the evidence all along, despite its repeated denials, by hiring a forensic data expert who dug it up. Tesla said it made a mistake after being shown the evidence and honestly hadn't thought it was there. It's not clear how much of a hit to Tesla's reputation for safety the verdict in the Miami case will make. Tesla has vastly improved its technology since the crash on a dark, rural road in Key Largo, Florida, in 2019.

Schengen Visa to Go Digital? Here's All You Need To Know For Next Trip To Europe
Last Updated: Under the new EES framework, the biometric data of non-EU nationals be collected and stored for three years. The European Union has announced a significant update to its border control procedures, with the introduction of a new digital Entry/Exit System (EES) set to launch on October 12. The system will gradually replace the traditional practice of passport stamping across the Schengen Area with modern biometric checks, including fingerprinting and facial recognition. Under the new EES framework, the biometric data of the UK, US and non-EU nationals, such as fingerprints, facial images, and key travel details, will be collected and stored to streamline border crossings and enhance security. The system is designed to simplify travel between the 29 countries that currently make up the Schengen Zone, which includes 25 EU nations along with Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland. According to a press release from the European Commission, member states will begin rolling out the system from mid-October, with full implementation expected within next six months. Once in place, travellers entering or exiting the EU's external borders will be required to use self-service kiosks to scan their passports or travel documents. Unlike the current system, where border officials manually stamp passports, EES aims to automate and expedite the process. Registration will be free of charge. The new digital entry system will register each traveller's name, type of travel document, biometric data, and the date and location of entry and exit. This information will be stored in a central database for three years and used to monitor compliance with short-stay limits and detect overstays. The EES will also benefit frequent travellers, including cross-border commuters, by reducing paperwork and wait times at borders. The move forms part of the EU's wider strategy to strengthen security while embracing technological innovation in border management. 'By working closely with Member States and the transport sector, we are creating a secure, efficient, and travel-friendly framework that reflects Europe's commitment to both security and technological innovation," said Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy. As reported by Euronews, the UK government has allocated nearly £3.5 million (€4.1 million) each to Eurostar, Eurotunnel, and the Port of Dover to assist with setting up the new registration kiosks ahead of the system's rollout. view comments First Published: August 01, 2025, 23:47 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Elon Musk's X Accuses UK Of ‘Censorship' Over Online Safety Laws: 'Free Speech Will Suffer'
Elon Musk's social media platform X criticized the UK's new online safety rules, warning they suppress free expression. Social media platform X (formerly Twitter) criticised UK's new online safety regulations, warning that the laws risk suppressing free expression and amount to state-sponsored censorship. The Elon Musk-owned company said, 'Free speech will suffer. The Act's laudable intentions are at risk of being overshadowed by the breadth of its regulatory reach. Without a more balanced, collaborative approach, free speech will suffer." The criticism comes days after new provisions under the UK's Online Safety Act came into force. Among them is a requirement for websites- including adult and social media platforms- to verify users' ages to prevent children from accessing explicit or violent material. X said it had worked to comply with the new rules, including introducing age verification mechanisms but warned that the threat of significant financial penalties could lead platforms to over-censor. The company said, 'Many are now concerned that a plan ostensibly intended to keep children safe is at risk of seriously infringing on the public's right to free expression." The UK government has defended the legislation as per which companies that fail to comply could face fines of up to £18 million or 10% of global turnover- a figure that could amount to £200 million in X's case. Earlier this week, the UK's media regulator Ofcom said it had begun investigations into dozens of websites that had not introduced required safeguards. It confirmed it had written to US-based firms to remind them of their obligations. X also criticised measures that would enable police to monitor social media for content deemed anti-immigrant, arguing this 'oversteps the intended mission" of child protection. X's criticism echoes comments made by Elon Musk in which he described the Online Safety Act as a 'suppression of the people." He also endorsed a public petition calling for the law's repeal, which has gathered over 450,000 signatures. However, Ofcom insisted the rules do not require platforms to restrict legal content for adults as a spokesperson said, 'They must carefully consider how they protect users' rights to freedom of expression while keeping people safe."
