Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold's chipset revealed
Samsung will be launching its first tri-fold smartphone this year, and yesterday we heard it could be called Galaxy Z TriFold, since the company has registered that name in Korea. Today it's time to talk about the chipset powering it, as this was revealed through lines of code in Samsung's One UI 8 based on Android 16. And it's going to be Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, the same one inside the recently launched Galaxy Z Fold7. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 According to previous leaks, the TriFold's inner screen will be around 10" when unfolded, and there will also be a cover screen too since this device will fold differently compared to Huawei's Mate XT, the first tri-fold smartphone on the market. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Galaxy Z TriFold is expected to be quite expensive - around KRW 4 million in Korea, which currently translates into about $2,873 or €2,469. Concerningly, the device may only be available in Korea and China, at least initially. Source

The chip of Samsung's tri-fold might have been revealed by One UI 8
A prototype displayed by Samsung in 2021 One of the biggest surprises at the latest Galaxy Unpacked event was that Samsung didn't even mention its first tri-folding smartphone. That hasn't stopped the flow of rumors, and the latest one claims the device may feature the top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite information was revealed from a breakdown of a new internal beta version of One UI 8, seen by Android Authority. The report claims that the software contains a line of code mentioning 'siop_q7mq_sm8750,' which is quite revealing. While the actual name of Samsung's tri-foldable phonemight be Galaxy Z TriFold, its codename is 'q7mq.' Snapdragon 8 Elite's model number is well-known — SM8750. So, we can assume that those will match once the tri-fold is released. That's not the first time we've heard that Samsung might use Qualcomm's best chip for its first tri-foldable smartphone. However, obtaining further confirmation, especially from Samsung's own software, is always welcome and makes the rumor more likely to be reports have claimed that Samsung might release the tri-fold smartphone in October. Samsung has been hinting at its existence since the January 2025 Galaxy Unpacked event, but it hasn't released almost any information about it. The only official acknowledgment that the device is in development came from Samsung's mobile chief, TM Roh. He said the company was working hard on a tri-fold smartphone, aiming to launch it before the end of the year. Back in rumor territory, the device could share the camera configuration of the Galaxy Z Fold 7: a 200MP primary, 10MP 3x telephoto, and 12MP ultra-wide cameras. The 10-inch OLED display would reportedly fold twice inward, contrasting with the Huawei Mate XT. Unlike Samsung's rumored approach, the Mate XT—currently the only commercially available tri-fold smartphone—folds once inward and once outward. Huawei Mate XT Review: The first tri-fold phone Talking about competition, Huawei is rumored to release the sequel to the Mate XT in September, which would be just a few weeks before Samsung's entry into the segment. However, the two companies won't be bothered by anyone else anytime soon. So far, we've seen only teasers and concepts from the likes of Honor and Tecno, but neither has released a of the reason might be the potential price of this type of device. Samsung's tri-foldable is rumored to sell for around $3,000 once released and to be limited to the Chinese and South Korean markets. I think Samsung will release that device by the end of the year, and it'll be an excuse for the company to boast about how innovative it is. As for the actual sales and market impact, I don't expect it to be much of a success, considering the high price, limited availability, and the unknown form factor with questionable chip of Samsung's tri-fold might have been revealed by One UI 8 Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Samsung's first Tri-Fold phone may launch this October under Galaxy Z branding, suggests report
Samsung's long-anticipated tri-fold smartphone is now expected to make its global debut by the end of 2025, with fresh reports suggesting it may carry the name Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold, marking its entry under the existing Galaxy Z series rather than launching a new lineup altogether. According to renowned journalist Max Jambor (@MaxJmb), the triple-screen foldable is likely to adopt the Galaxy Z TriFold branding. This aligns the device with Samsung's established foldable range, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip models, and indicates the company's intent to consolidate its multi-form factor devices under a single umbrella. Meanwhile, tipster Ice Universe, writing on Chinese social media platform Weibo, claimed that Samsung's tri-fold phone is scheduled for an October 2025 launch. This timeline would put it in direct competition with Huawei, whose Mate XT Ultimate Design successor is expected to be unveiled a month earlier, in September. The upcoming device, codenamed Q7M, is reportedly advancing towards mass production and could be unveiled as a limited release, according to sources familiar with the matter. It is said to carry the model number SM-F968. One of the key highlights of the tri-fold handset is its 9.96-inch display when fully unfolded, offering a near-tablet experience. In its folded form, the device is expected to present a 6.54-inch screen, making it usable as a conventional smartphone. Internally, the device may be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and is tipped to include a silicon-carbon battery, a newer technology that potentially offers faster charging and longer life compared to traditional lithium-ion cells. On the imaging front, the Galaxy Z TriFold could sport a triple rear camera setup and is expected to support 8K video recording at 30fps. The design is rumoured to feature inward-folding hinges, following a G-style folding mechanism similar to the recently showcased Tecno Phantom Ultimate G Fold Concept.

Samsung tri-fold phone name spotted in trademark filing, launch details leaked
Samsung's long-rumoured tri-fold smartphone is once again in the headlines — this time because of a trademark filing that gives us a possible name and a better idea of when the device might actually launch. While the company has been tight-lipped about this foldable so far, recent developments are beginning to fill in the blanks. A trademark spotted in South Korea points to the name Galaxy Z TriFold, but there's reason to believe Samsung may not actually go with that name in the end. At the same time, a trusted source claims the tri-fold will hit shelves later this year — and possibly sooner than name comes via GalaxyClub, who spotted the Galaxy Z TriFold trademark filing in South Korea's database. It's an obvious choice on paper, but not necessarily one Samsung will stick with. The name doesn't quite fit the company's usual sleek branding. It's common practice for Samsung (and other brands) to register multiple potential names ahead of product launches, many of which never get the trademark gives us a possible name, tipster Ice Universe has shared what sounds like a more solid launch window. According to his post, Samsung is planning to release the tri-fold in October 2025, just ahead of the busy year-end shopping season. That also lines up with what Samsung's mobile head TM Roh reportedly told The Korea Times during the company's Unpacked event earlier this month. Roh said that Samsung was actively working on its tri-fold phone and was targeting a release 'later this year,' without offering a specific date. Though nothing's been confirmed publicly yet, previous leaks have hinted that the device could feature a 10-inch display that folds in two places, using Samsung's flexible OLED tech. Internally, it may be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, with a price tag that could exceed $2,900 (roughly Rs 2.5 lakh). However, early reports suggest Samsung might take a cautious approach with this new form factor — releasing it only in South Korea and China at first, and waiting for a global rollout until a second-gen version is this phone didn't appear at Samsung's recent Unpacked event, the company had plenty to show. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 made their debut with sleeker designs, brighter screens, and AI upgrades. A new Galaxy Flip 7 FE also joined the line-up as a more affordable option for foldable fans. And for those into wearables, Samsung also launched the Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic, both featuring slimmer builds and on-device Gemini AI features.- Ends

Samsung may have accidentally revealed its tri-fold's name, and it's not very exciting
TL;DR Samsung has filed a trademark for its upcoming triple-screen foldable. The filing reveals the name 'Galaxy Z TriFold,' but we're skeptical of this being final. The foldable is rumored to launch in October, but with availability limited to China and South Korea. Samsung's progress on a new style of foldable with three inner screen faces instead of two is no longer a secret. It has repeatedly teased the new shape and even showcased a working prototype at Mobile World Congress 2025 of what it then called a 'Flex G' panel. The 'G' is inspired by the fact that the two sides fold inward, which also led to initial rumors that the phone would be named a Galaxy G Fold — and probably because a Galaxy C (despite being more fitting to the shape) would be a tongue twister. However, a recent report suggests that Samsung may have settled on a name that neither includes 'G' nor 'C'. Would you buy a tri-folding foldable phone? 3723 votes Yes, for sure 61 % Maybe 22 % No, I wouldn't 18 % For its triple-screen foldable, Samsung may have chosen the name 'Galaxy Z TriFold' — or so it appears, based on a recent trademark filing spotted by GalaxyClub. Besides suggesting the device's potential name, the trademark also indicates it will be clubbed under the existing Galaxy Z lineup instead of being introduced as a separate series. Despite the trademark registration, we cannot ascertain that this is the name Samsung will finally choose when it launches the phone later this year. It could be using this name as a placeholder or to misguide speculations. Although the filing does not guarantee a launch timeline, previous rumors suggest the tri-fold will enter production in September and could launch in October 2025. The foldable's inner display is expected to unfold into a 10-inch layout, while the phone is likely to house a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Images and animations buried in One UI 8's beta firmware confirm the phone comes with three rear cameras, which are expected to be the same as the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Besides its name, there's another unsavory aspect to this phone. The exuberant hardware is likely to come with an eye-watering price tag of nearly $3,000. Already cautious of its steep price, Samsung might limit the initial release to China and South Korea, rather than launching it globally, to gauge demand. Got a tip? Talk to us!
