Samsung tri-fold phone likely to offer same top-tier performance as Galaxy Z Fold 7
Samsung's first tri-fold phone is getting closer to launch, and more details are slowly starting to surface. The latest one is about the chipset that will power the device, and it's the same one found in the Galaxy S25 Ultra and the Galaxy Z Fold 7. According to an Android Headlines report, the information comes from the internal beta version of One UI 8, which revealed a code string referring to both the tri-fold's internal codename and the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. While many expected Samsung to go with Qualcomm for this phone, the confirmation is still notable, as it shows the company is planning to give the tri-fold true flagship-level internal codename for the tri-fold phone is Q7M, and that name was spotted alongside the Snapdragon 8 Elite model number — SM8750 — within One UI 8's system files. This suggests that the phone is being actively tested on the latest version of Android, which is Android 16, and will likely launch with Samsung's new One UI 8 skin on top. Given that Samsung now promises seven years of software and security updates for its top-end devices, it's reasonable to expect the same for the tri-fold Galaxy Z TriFold name was also recently filed as a trademark by Samsung, which has fuelled speculation around what the final name of the product might be. While some feel this may not be the final branding, it's clearly one of the options the company is considering. Either way, the tri-fold is expected to be a major step forward in foldable phone design, with a form factor that uses two hinges and opens up to reveal a larger 10-inch screen inside. Unlike Huawei's outward-folding approach with the Mate X series, Samsung is expected to keep the foldable display on the inside, which should offer better durability. A smaller cover display will sit on the outside for regular phone use, while the large inner screen will unfold like a tablet. Early leaks suggest the phone will also include three rear cameras, though the exact camera specs remain under wraps for Samsung tri-fold phone isn't expected to come cheap. According to previous reports, the price could go up to $2,900, which is roughly Rs 2.5 lakh. It may also be a limited release at first, likely restricted to China and South Korea. A wider global launch could follow later if the first-gen model does well. For now, the phone is rumoured to launch in October 2025.- Ends

Vivo V60 leak hints at Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC, 6,500mAh battery and triple cameras: Launch timeline tipped
Vivo is reportedly gearing up to unveil the successor to its V50 smartphone in India next month. The upcoming Vivo V60, expected to launch on 19 August, has been the subject of several leaks, revealing key specifications, colour variants, and even design renders ahead of its official debut. According to noted tipster Yogesh Brar (@heyitsyogesh), the Vivo V60 could come equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, a notable upgrade over the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 featured in the V50. The handset is also said to pack a massive 6,500mAh battery, potentially supporting 90W fast charging, as hinted by recent TUV and SIRIM listings. Brar suggests that the upcoming smartphone may continue the brand's focus on photography, possibly offering 50MP cameras, although the exact camera configuration remains unclear. The leaked renders point to a triple rear camera setup, arranged uniquely within a pill-shaped camera island, with an additional lens and LED flash positioned alongside it. Vivo's branding appears on the bottom-left corner of the rear panel. In terms of aesthetics, the Vivo V60 could be launched in three distinct colour options: Mist Grey, Moonlit Blue, and Auspicious Gold, further adding to its premium appeal. Adding to the excitement, the tipster also claims that Vivo might introduce OriginOS, its custom user interface based on Android 16, in India alongside the new handset. This would mark the first appearance of OriginOS in the Indian market, offering a fresh user experience compared to the company's traditional Funtouch OS. The Vivo V60 is expected to bring several upgrades over its predecessor, the Vivo V50, which made its Indian debut in February this year. The V50 features a 6.77-inch quad-curved AMOLED display with full-HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness of 4,500 nits. It is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC and houses a 6,000mAh battery with support for 90W fast charging. Camera-wise, it sports a dual rear camera setup (50MP main + 50MP ultrawide) and a 50MP front camera.
