Samsung Tri-Fold smartphone price leaked: Will this smartphone launch in India? Here is what we know so far
In this article, we'll tell you the latest on Samsung's tri-foldable phone, including its planned release date, probable features, and implications for the future of smartphones. Whether you're a Samsung fan or simply curious about the latest tech trends, we've got all the information you need.
Samsung Tri-Fold launch timeline
Galaxy Tri-fold all set to launch in Q3 this yearSamsung is only launching it in 2 markets : South Korea & ChinaLimited quantities with a price between $3000 - 3500
According to tipster Yogesh Brar, Samsung's tri-fold smartphone will be available in the third quarter of 2025. This contradicts a prior story, which stated that the larger foldable will arrive much later, after the Galaxy Z series is released this year.
Galaxy G Fold. A recent leak has confirmed the foldable's screen size, which is smaller than the Huawei Mate XT tri-fold handset.
The leaker reiterates previously disclosed information, stating that the Samsung tri-fold model would be released in restricted quantities and will only be available in South Korea and China.
Samsung Tri-Fold expected specifications
While normal book-style foldables have a huge display and a single hinge, Samsung is expected to follow in the footsteps of Huawei Mate XT Ultimate and release a smartphone with two hinges.
We've previously seen patent leaks indicating similar arrangements, including one with two hinges and another with three hinges and four connected panels. Indeed, these foldables will open up into full-size tablets, as opposed to the current state of foldables, which provides a user with the width of two standard smartphone displays side by side.
According to Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station, Samsung's rumored triple folding smartphone, which could be called the Galaxy G Fold, will have a screen size of approximately 9.9 inches when fully unfolded.
This means it will have a smaller primary display than Huawei's Mate XT, which has a 10.2-inch internal foldable display.

Is China preparing for World War III? Develops highly advanced weapon capable of flying, swimming, firing missiles, has six mechanical legs, is made up of…, can carry…
With the ongoing global unrest and heightened geopolitical tensions in various regions of the world, several nations have placed an increased emphasis on their warfare capabilities and defense strategies. Governments are making enormous investments in advanced military technology, new combat systems, and strategic defensive planning to protect their national interests and maintain a competitive edge in advancing their interests on the global stage. A Chinese DIY engineer has created an astonishing 3D-printed robotic creation that has gone viral online. It gives a glimpse into the future of autonomous combat. The operators have described the creation as a combination of a turtle and six mechanical limbs; it is an amphibious, airborne, missile-firing robot. The invention has sparked the interest of technology lovers and military strategists across the globe. The robot was completely designed and built by a single Chinese creator, and it can operate on land, air, and in the water. In viral videos that circulated on Chinese platforms Bilibili and Weibo, the turtle-like drone crawled on a rock, submerged in water, and propelled itself forward like a swimmer, and took flight with a tri-rotor flight system, while also carrying and launching mini missile-like projectiles. Essentially, it is a one-machine multi-domain threat platform. What has stunned the world is not simply the robot's adaptation across terrestrial, aquatic, and aerial environments, but the fact that it was developed in a personal workshop using 3D printing. Built mostly from nylon and fabric materials, it didn't rely on any high-end manufacturing tools. This brings us to an unsettling question: if one person can create such an advanced hybrid device in their home, what's stopping a well-funded military lab from producing the same device by utilizing similar technology? With more advanced features such as AI-based targeting, GPS navigation, autonomous swarming capabilities, and increased payload capacity, this turtle drone could further develop into a lethal battlefield platform and have the ability to navigate autonomously in various environments. Although this robot is currently a private project, its development is very similar to what China is pursuing on the military front. Beijing has been investing heavily in drone technology for more than a decade. This includes AI-powered swarm drones that communicate and coordinate like insect colonies. There are underwater drones that can conduct surveillance and perform sabotage in contested areas of the sea. Chinese soldiers have even experimented with exoskeletons that are designed to carry heavy loads in high-altitude environments. In this context, while the turtle robot may now be an amateur project, it could become a critical component of China's emerging hybrid warfare strategy in the future and potentially serve as a weapon for the Chinese military.

Intel's CEO, under attack from Trump, is already at odds with his board
Intel Chief Executive Lip-Bu Tan was already at odds with some board members before President Trump jumped into the fray. Tan and some Intel directors have disagreed in his first months in the role about questions as central as whether the company should stay in the manufacturing business or exit it entirely, according to people familiar with the matter. Recent efforts by Tan to raise new capital and acquire an artificial-intelligence company have been stalled by people on the board, they said. On Thursday, the internal tensions were heightened when Trump unexpectedly called for Tan's ouster, claiming he is 'conflicted" by business ties to China. Intel so far is standing by Tan. The company issued a statement Thursday that said the company, the board and Tan are all 'deeply committed to advancing U.S. national and economic security interests and making significant investments aligned with the President's America First agenda." Intel reigned for decades as the world's most valuable semiconductor company, but its failure to foresee the rise of AI helped cut its market value in half since the beginning of last year. The day Intel named Tan CEO in March, the company's shares rose over 13%. Tan, a former Intel director, had pulled off a turnaround at Cadence Design Systems during a long run helming the software company. The honeymoon period didn't last long. Almost immediately, Tan and Intel board chairman Frank Yeary disagreed about whether Intel should remain in the business of making chips for itself and its clients or exit manufacturing, the people said. The segment that includes Intel's chip factories, which last year supplied around a third of Intel's revenue, has been a money loser. But some view it as politically important because it helps secure the U.S.'s semiconductor supply chain. Yeary, a former investment banker, had drawn up a plan for Intel to exit from the foundry business entirely earlier this year when acting as interim executive chair. Yeary's proposal involved spinning out the business and having other companies such as Nvidia and Amazon take stakes in it, the people said. Yeary also explored brokering a sale of the business to Taiwan's TSMC, the people said, but that effort went nowhere. Tan, on the other hand, has argued that Intel's foundry business is integral to its success and needed to ensure the U.S. doesn't become reliant on foreign semiconductor companies such as TSMC and Samsung, the people said. (While TSMC and Samsung have committed to building more plants in the U.S., critics say their research and development efforts are still centralized elsewhere.) More recently, Intel had lined up a handful of Wall Street investment banks to facilitate a multibillion-dollar capital raise, with the aim of using the money to invest in its fabrication plants and bolster the company's balance sheet, the people said. Management hoped to kick off the efforts around the company's most recent quarterly earnings report in late July. But some board members, including Yeary, wanted to move on a slower timeline than Tan and pushed it back, possibly to 2026, the people said. Intel had also been exploring a potential acquisition of an AI business, the people said. Proponents of the deal, including Tan, saw it as an opportunity for the company to catch up to rivals such as Nvidia and AMD, which are much further ahead in AI. But the board took its time deliberating the potential deal, and another publicly traded technology company appears poised to buy the target instead, the people said. Intel has also recently pursued strategic partnerships that fizzled out, the people added. Tan feels his hands have been tied by the board to fix the company, the people said. Intel is buying time by reining in spending. It announced a 15% cut to its workforce with earnings last month and scrapped plans to spend tens of billions of dollars on new chip facilities in Europe. Intel also said it would further slow the pace of construction on an Ohio project. 'There are no more blank checks," Tan wrote in a recent memo to staff. 'Every investment must make economic sense." Trump's attack on Tan took him and the company by surprise after he had recently been making inroads with the administration. Intel was a big winner in former President Joe Biden's CHIPS Act, which doled out billions in grants to help strengthen the U.S.'s semiconductor capabilities. But Trump has instead focused on tariffs to incentivize domestic manufacturing and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has said Trump is reworking some of the CHIPS Act deals. Tan had a roughly hourlong meeting with Lutnick in April to discuss his plans to turn the company around, one of the people familiar with the matter said. The two recently spoke again by phone and had discussed meeting again later this month. Lutnick had indicated to the CEO that the administration would support Intel if it had realistic plans to land big customers such as Apple, the person said. Then Trump on Thursday morning posted that Tan needed to resign because he is 'highly conflicted" and 'there is no other solution to this problem." His concerns appear to be tied to a recent development involving Cadence Design, the company Tan led until 2021, and his venture-capital firm's investments in Chinese companies. Cadence last week agreed to plead guilty and pay more than $140 million to resolve Justice Department charges for selling its chip-design products to a Chinese military university. U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) had earlier this week sent a letter to Yeary, the Intel board chair, questioning him about Tan's ties to Chinese firms. Sen. Bernie Moreno of Ohio, where Intel has delayed plans to build new facilities, joined in Thursday, calling for Tan to resign. Intel said in its statement Thursday that it looked forward to 'continued engagement" with the administration. Another challenge for Tan is the fact that his predecessor, Pat Gelsinger, had been forging a relationship with Vice President JD Vance before he stepped down, a person familiar with the matter said. Gelsinger departed from Intel right as Trump and Vance won the 2024 election, three months after Tan abruptly exited the Intel board over disagreements with how Gelsinger and other board members were running the business, according to people familiar with the matter. One former Intel board member believes Gelsinger's relationship with Vance could have given Intel a valuable line to the White House to turn around its fortunes. Write to Lauren Thomas at

India's electronics exports surge by 47% on-year to ₹1.09 lakh crore in Q1FY26: ICEA
NEW DELHI: India's electronics exports surged by 47% year-on-year to $12.4 billion (~₹1.09 lakh crore) in Q1FY26, driven by strong exports of mobile phones, according to the latest industry data released by the India Cellular and Electronics Association ( ICEA ) on Thursday. India, in the corresponding quarter last year, had exported electronics worth $8.43 billion, as per the Delhi-based association which represents Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo, as well as Apple and Corning in the country. The mobile phone segment emerged as the standout segment, with exports skyrocketing by 55% year-on-year to approximately $7.6 billion. The non-mobile segment, comprising solar modules, switching and routing gear, charger adapters and parts, and components, saw a 36% year-on-year growth in shipments to $4.8 billion in Q1FY26, according to ICEA. The association had earlier said that India's mobile phone exports are being supported by the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for handset manufacturing, and further driven by premium brands Apple and Samsung . ICEA, however, suggested that a major thrust is now needed to scale up non-mobile categories to broaden India's electronics exports. 'This is a strategic national achievement. Now begins the real climb towards global competitiveness, sustainability, and deeper value addition,' said Pankaj Mohindroo , chairman, ICEA. Mohindroo said other product segments in electronics have also shown significant growth, and solar modules, networking equipment, chargers, and components are gaining traction. 'We must now accelerate their expansion. We need IT hardware, wearables, hearables, and consumer electronics exports to rise sharply,' he said. READ MORE | Apple, Samsung drive India's mobile phone exports to ₹2 lakh crore in FY25: ICEA Rise in total electronics exports, production India's total electronics exports grew from $29.1 billion in FY24 to $38.6 billion in FY25, and are expected to breach the $46-50 billion mark by the end of FY26, the association said. 'It is more important than ever to build an indigenous supply chain. We need globally competitive Indian brands and Indian champions across the entire value chain, from components and sub-assemblies to final products. This is the path to long-term sovereignty in electronics,' Mohindroo stated. ICEA said that India's electronics manufacturing sector has undergone a massive transformation over the last 10 years, with the total production rising from $31 billion in FY15 to $133 billion in FY25, driven by a targeted industrial strategy, and supported by well-calibrated policy interventions such as the Phased Manufacturing Programme (PMP), PLI schemes, and strong state-industry collaboration. 'The real challenge begins now, which is building resilience, deepening value addition, and strengthening our supply chain. We must stay focused, sharpen our competitive edge, and push forward with consistency. The global opportunity is massive, but it demands staying power, not just momentum,' Mohindroo said.
