The Samsung tri-fold name could be the Galaxy G Fold
With Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 still several months away from arriving, according to the launch pipeline, we’re getting some interesting details about the company’s first triple-screen foldable phones. In the wake of new revelations, the Samsung Tri-Fold is now hearsay to have the name ‘Galaxy G Fold’.
The detail further reveals that the company itself is quite eager to unveil the first triple-screen foldable phones on the consumer platform and showcase its features.
A Naver blog post by yeux1122 cites industry sources and display analyst Ross Young as saying that the Samsung tri-fold will be named the Galaxy G Fold. This naming makes sense, as Samsung is calling its current foldable phone the Galaxy Z Fold. However, it’s hard to say what the “G” represents, as the tri-fold phone looks more like a Z than anything else, but there you have it.
According to the information, the Galaxy G Fold is expected to sport a 9.96-inch display, making it about 30% larger than the 7.6-inch screen of the Z Fold 6. Also, it is expected to be 6.54 inches in height when folded, which is on par with a traditional phone.
Late last month, Samsung revealed its plans for 2025 foldable and Galaxy A phones in the Q4 FY2024 earnings results conference call.
Launch in early 2026?
A bunch of leaks and rumors cite that the Chinese tech maker will bring the Galaxy G Fold to the table in early 2026. Ross Young backs up this timeline in an X post, saying Samsung could release the Galaxy G Fold by the third quarter of 2025
Despite Samsung’s denial of these speculations, the speedy development clues an imminent launch of the Fold G in the coming weeks.
Don’t forget that the Huawei Mate XT has already hit the market, and Samsung has to compete with its own tri-fold device. However, Samsung is still working towards launching its first tri-fold by late 2025 or early 2026. The Korean tech giant aims to become not the “first” but the “best” tri-foldable manufacturer in the world.
Samsung has recently released a patent for a triple-folding phone. But its overall look and form factor is similar to the world’s first tri-foldable. Check here..
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 are ready to make their debut, and in the meantime, we got our hands on the leaked price for this lineup. Yes, a new listing is appearing online, which has revealed the cost rate of the upcoming foldable models.
Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 price leaked
According to the new inputs, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 should be priced the same as the Z Fold 6 at launch, i.e. €1,999 for 256GB, €2,119 for 512GB, and €2,359 for 1TB. Furthermore, in Europe, the 256GB Galaxy Z Flip 7 will be €100 cheaper than its predecessor and will be available for €1,099 instead of €1,199. The 512GB Galaxy Z Flip 7 variant should cost €1,219 instead of €1,319.
In short, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will likely retain its price in Europe compared to the 2024 model, while the Galaxy Z Flip 7 should be cheaper than the Flip 6 at launch.
The Galaxy Fold 7 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite globally, while the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will feature the Exynos 2500. Moreover, Android 16-based One UI 8 will come pre-installed on both foldable phones, with Samsung already teasing the exceptional Galaxy AI upgrade.
