Samsung is at the forefront of making foldable smartphones. It is the only company that has been consistently selling foldable smartphones globally for the last few years, starting from 2019. Now that it has a strong hold on the dual-fold phone segment, the company is rapidly moving towards bringing tri-fold phones to the market. Now, a report has revealed that Samsung is expected to launch a Galaxy Tri-Fold phone in 2025 with a limited 200k units.

According to the information, Samsung’s 2025 foldable production plan could be 7 million units. Out of this, Samsung can launch 200k units of its Galaxy tri-fold phone in 2025. The report claims that the Samsung tri-fold will bring an innovative G-type look, different from the Huawei tri-foldable smartphone.

Further, the report notes that the the Tri-Fold phone is expected to come with a 10-inch Display when it is fully unfolded, while, the Huawei Mate XT triple foldable smartphone sports 10.2 inches when fully unfolded.

Notably, the Korean technology giant is expected to slightly bring forward the mass production schedule for parts for its existing book-type foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, to secure a stable supply of tri-fold parts.

In addition to 200k units of Samsung Galaxy tri-fold phones in 2025, Samsung’s foldable phone production plan this year is said to be around 7 million units including the Galaxy Z Flip 7 (3 million units), Z Flip FE (900,000 units), and Z Fold 7 (2 million units).

Previous reports have claimed that Samsung’s Tri-Fold patent brings several sensors including a hall sensor, an acceleration sensor, an angular velocity sensor, a gyro sensor, a folding detection sensor, a proximity sensor, a barometric pressure sensor, a magnetic sensor, a biometric sensor, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, or a fingerprint recognition sensor.

First of its kind for Samsung, the upcoming Galaxy Tri-Fold would set to disrupt the foldable market with its uncompromising specifications, bringing together One UI software user experience, a Camera for Fold, and immersive spatial entertainment, all in an ultra-portable, modern elegant foldable design.

In Korea, Samsung has kicked off the Android 15-based One UI 7 update for the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S24 FE, Tab S10, Galaxy Tab S9, Galaxy Z Fold5, and Galaxy Z Flip5. The update follows the One UI 7 deployment for Galaxy S24 series and Galaxy Z Fold5, as well as Galaxy Z Flip5 users in the same region, which began earlier.

These users are among the first to experience this update, which promises a smoother, more intuitive experience with a refined user interface, improved performance, enhanced privacy controls, and new customization options that align with Samsung’s vision for a seamless and intuitive user experience.

One UI 7 comes with a brand new look for your Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S24 FE, Tab S10, Galaxy Tab S9, Galaxy Z Fold5, and Galaxy Z Flip5, including a sleeker user interface, smoother animations for maximum interactions, and an improved flow across the system.

Over the next few days and weeks, the Korean tech giant will open up the One UI 7 distribution to older flagships like the Galaxy S22 and S21 series, Galaxy Z Flip 4/3, and Z Fold 4/3.

To note, the company has started the US rollout for select devices, including the S24 series, Z Fold6, and Z Flip6 from April 10, but the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S24 FE, Tab S10, Galaxy Tab S9, Galaxy Z Fold5, and Galaxy Z Flip5 and others are still pending. The company’s phased approach prioritises flagships, with mid-range devices like the Galaxy A-series scheduled for June.

Samsung users can try out One UI 7 on the Galaxy S22 Plus virtually. The update’s rollout hasn’t yet begun, but the company is moving towards kicking off a public rollout next month. Samsung’s latest RTL refresh brings One UI 7 to the Galaxy S22 series, but users may be disappointed as they miss out on 5 major AI features with One UI 7.

One UI 7 is available on the Galaxy S25 series, Galaxy S24 series, the Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6. Notably, the latest flagships exclusively run the Stable One UI 7, last year’s flagships have Beta access to the software, and the Galaxy S22+ is eligible for RTL.

The RTL listing was recently updated as a video spread on Reddit and X that shows One UI 7 running on a Galaxy S22+ using Samsung’s Remote Test Lab.

The video reveals that the update for the S22 series will not include many of the cutting-edge AI features found in Samsung’s latest Galaxy S25 series.

Today, with beta 4 Google expanded Android 16 Beta to select non-Pixel flagship devices from partner brands. Samsung, as always, is skipping the Android 16 Beta Program, while the new OS is available for select devices launched by Honor, iQOO, Lenovo, OnePlus, OPPO, Realme, vivo, and Xiaomi.

Google released Android 16 beta 4 with a second version of platform stability and announced that apps compatible with the new OS will now be available on the Play Store.

Honor, iQOO, Lenovo, OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, Vivo, and Xiaomi have opened beta registration windows for their latest flagship devices launched in the last few months. Samsung, however, is yet to complete One UI 7 for its Galaxy devices, but will soon roll out the stable One UI 7 and launch an independent One UI beta program.

Last week, it was revealed that the company is already working on Android 16’s adaptation and testing the alleged One UI 8 on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6 smartphones.

Android continues to deliver great updates and new features throughout the year, while feedback from the beta community plays a vital role in constantly improving Android. The Android 16 developer site has a lot more information about the beta, including downloads and a release timeline for Pixel.
