Samsung is reportedly preparing to launch its first-ever tri-fold smartphone possibly named the Galaxy G Fold. This innovative device is expected to debut at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event in July 2025 alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7. First teased in January during the Galaxy Unpacked 2025 showcase the tri-fold handset is anticipated to revolutionize the foldable phone market with advanced design and battery technology.
According to a recent leak by tipster PandaFlashPro on X Samsung’s tri-fold device may feature a next-generation silicon-carbon battery. This battery technology is a significant improvement over conventional lithium-ion batteries as it replaces the graphite anode with silicon resulting in higher energy density and more efficient power storage in compact spaces. The battery capacity of the tri-fold phone is expected to remain below 5000mAh which hints at a sleek lightweight form factor.
The leak also suggests that the tri-fold phone will borrow several hardware design elements from the yet-to-be-announced Galaxy Z Fold 7. These include identical speaker drivers similar hinge mechanisms and shared design cutouts which may provide a consistent user experience across Samsung’s new foldable lineup. The device is also said to support 8K video recording at 30 frames per second adding to its premium appeal.
When unfolded the Galaxy G Fold is expected to feature a large 9.96-inch display while offering a 6.54-inch screen in folded mode. Reports indicate that the phone folds inward and may come with a flat body similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 7. This next-gen foldable could be initially available only in select markets such as South Korea and China with a broader release depending on market response.
The tri-fold concept was previewed by Jay Kim Head of Products and Experiences at Samsung during the January 2025 event fueling speculation and anticipation among tech enthusiasts. If these leaks prove accurate Samsung is not only introducing a new form factor but also enhancing battery efficiency and performance to redefine foldable smartphone standards.
