Multymeter.com – Smartphone: Samsung is one of the world’s technology giants that is reportedly developing its first innovative three-fold premium smartphone, often referred to as “Tri-Fold” or “Galaxy G Fold”. Reportedly, the premium smartphone will be announced at the “Galaxy Unpacked” event scheduled to take place on July 9, 2025 in New York, United States (US), which coincides with the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7.
The name of the premium smartphone has not been officially released, but the news that is often mentioned is that Samsung will use the name Galaxy G Fold, or Multifold 7, an internal code name found in One UI 8, and another possibility will be named Q7M. Whatever the name, this device is expected to be a new addition to Samsung’s existing foldable product line.
Specifications:
Design and Screen:
Tri-Fold Design: Unlike existing two-fold devices (Fold and Flip), this phone will have two hinges that allow the main screen to fold into three panels.
Folding Mechanism: Based on the animations found in One UI 8, the device will use two inward-folding hinges, forming a “G”-shaped fold. This is in contrast to the “S-shaped” approach on the Huawei Mate XT.
Hinge Size: The hinges will be of different sizes to ensure that the inner screen can fold flat without pressure.
Main Screen (Unfolded): Expected to be around 10-inch to 10.8-inch OLED with a resolution of 2232 x 3184 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate.
Cover Screen: Will be in the middle when the main screen is fully unfolded, measuring around 6.4-inch to 6.5-inch.
Rear Panel: The rear design has three panels. The left panel will likely have three cameras, the middle panel will have a cover screen with the front camera, and the right panel is expected to be a blank back panel.
Key Specifications and Features (Rumors):
Processor (SoC): Expected to be powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite (Qualcomm’s latest chipset), which is also used in the Galaxy S25 series. This combination is expected to optimize multitasking, gaming, and AI feature performance.
RAM: 12GB or 16GB LPDDR5X.
Internal Storage: Starting from 256GB.
Rear Camera: Triple rear camera configuration, likely with a 200MP main sensor (similar to the rumored Galaxy Z Fold 7), accompanied by a 12MP ultra-wide camera and a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.
Front Camera: 12MP with a punch-hole design (not under the screen/UDC).
Battery: Estimated to be around 4,400 mAh with 45W fast charging technology. This battery capacity may be smaller than its competitors such as the Huawei Mate XT (5,600 mAh).
Operating System: Will run Android v15 with One UI 8 interface.
Frame Material: Likely using a combination of titanium and aluminum to increase durability, similar to the latest Galaxy S Ultra line.
Weight: 300 grams
Focus on AI: With the latest chipset, it is expected to have many AI-based features.
Because it is targeting the Ultra-Premium segment, Samsung will sell at a high price, estimated to be sold at US $ 2,800. This phone will compete directly with similar devices, one of which is the Huawei Mate XT.
This device is expected to be available for purchase in Q4 2025 (October, November, or December). Initially, availability will likely be limited to certain markets such as South Korea and China.
It is important to remember that most of the information above is still rumors and leaks. Official information regarding specifications, features, and pricing will be known after Samsung launches this device. However, these leaks provide a fairly clear picture of what we can expect from Samsung’s first three-fold smartphone.***
