The chip of Samsung's tri-fold might have been revealed by One UI 8
A prototype displayed by Samsung in 2021 One of the biggest surprises at the latest Galaxy Unpacked event was that Samsung didn't even mention its first tri-folding smartphone. That hasn't stopped the flow of rumors, and the latest one claims the device may feature the top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite information was revealed from a breakdown of a new internal beta version of One UI 8, seen by Android Authority. The report claims that the software contains a line of code mentioning 'siop_q7mq_sm8750,' which is quite revealing. While the actual name of Samsung's tri-foldable phonemight be Galaxy Z TriFold, its codename is 'q7mq.' Snapdragon 8 Elite's model number is well-known — SM8750. So, we can assume that those will match once the tri-fold is released. That's not the first time we've heard that Samsung might use Qualcomm's best chip for its first tri-foldable smartphone. However, obtaining further confirmation, especially from Samsung's own software, is always welcome and makes the rumor more likely to be reports have claimed that Samsung might release the tri-fold smartphone in October. Samsung has been hinting at its existence since the January 2025 Galaxy Unpacked event, but it hasn't released almost any information about it. The only official acknowledgment that the device is in development came from Samsung's mobile chief, TM Roh. He said the company was working hard on a tri-fold smartphone, aiming to launch it before the end of the year. Back in rumor territory, the device could share the camera configuration of the Galaxy Z Fold 7: a 200MP primary, 10MP 3x telephoto, and 12MP ultra-wide cameras. The 10-inch OLED display would reportedly fold twice inward, contrasting with the Huawei Mate XT. Unlike Samsung's rumored approach, the Mate XT—currently the only commercially available tri-fold smartphone—folds once inward and once outward. Huawei Mate XT Review: The first tri-fold phone Talking about competition, Huawei is rumored to release the sequel to the Mate XT in September, which would be just a few weeks before Samsung's entry into the segment. However, the two companies won't be bothered by anyone else anytime soon. So far, we've seen only teasers and concepts from the likes of Honor and Tecno, but neither has released a of the reason might be the potential price of this type of device. Samsung's tri-foldable is rumored to sell for around $3,000 once released and to be limited to the Chinese and South Korean markets. I think Samsung will release that device by the end of the year, and it'll be an excuse for the company to boast about how innovative it is. As for the actual sales and market impact, I don't expect it to be much of a success, considering the high price, limited availability, and the unknown form factor with questionable chip of Samsung's tri-fold might have been revealed by One UI 8 Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Samsung tri-fold phone name spotted in trademark filing, launch details leaked
Samsung's long-rumoured tri-fold smartphone is once again in the headlines — this time because of a trademark filing that gives us a possible name and a better idea of when the device might actually launch. While the company has been tight-lipped about this foldable so far, recent developments are beginning to fill in the blanks. A trademark spotted in South Korea points to the name Galaxy Z TriFold, but there's reason to believe Samsung may not actually go with that name in the end. At the same time, a trusted source claims the tri-fold will hit shelves later this year — and possibly sooner than name comes via GalaxyClub, who spotted the Galaxy Z TriFold trademark filing in South Korea's database. It's an obvious choice on paper, but not necessarily one Samsung will stick with. The name doesn't quite fit the company's usual sleek branding. It's common practice for Samsung (and other brands) to register multiple potential names ahead of product launches, many of which never get the trademark gives us a possible name, tipster Ice Universe has shared what sounds like a more solid launch window. According to his post, Samsung is planning to release the tri-fold in October 2025, just ahead of the busy year-end shopping season. That also lines up with what Samsung's mobile head TM Roh reportedly told The Korea Times during the company's Unpacked event earlier this month. Roh said that Samsung was actively working on its tri-fold phone and was targeting a release 'later this year,' without offering a specific date. Though nothing's been confirmed publicly yet, previous leaks have hinted that the device could feature a 10-inch display that folds in two places, using Samsung's flexible OLED tech. Internally, it may be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, with a price tag that could exceed $2,900 (roughly Rs 2.5 lakh). However, early reports suggest Samsung might take a cautious approach with this new form factor — releasing it only in South Korea and China at first, and waiting for a global rollout until a second-gen version is this phone didn't appear at Samsung's recent Unpacked event, the company had plenty to show. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 made their debut with sleeker designs, brighter screens, and AI upgrades. A new Galaxy Flip 7 FE also joined the line-up as a more affordable option for foldable fans. And for those into wearables, Samsung also launched the Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic, both featuring slimmer builds and on-device Gemini AI features.- Ends

Samsung Launched The Galaxy Z Fold 7 But Where Is The Tri-Fold Device?
Last Updated: Samsung Galaxy tri-fold device launch has been in the news for a while and the company might have given us more clues about its unveiling. Samsung Galaxy Unpacked came and went this month, where we saw the new Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7 and the Galaxy Watch 8 series. However, many people expected the brand to have a surprise unveiling or a short teaser for another product, which eventually ended up being the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE model. But where is the tri-fold device that has been in the news for a few months, and Samsung even gave us a teaser of the product at the Galaxy S25 launch in January. A new report gives us more insight into what Samsung plans to do with the next-gen foldable device and when it could launch. Samsung's mobile business chief has reportedly shared the launch details for the tri-fold device which could be called the Galaxy G Fold. TM Roh has been quoted in a report by The Korea Times, saying the company is actively working on the tri-foldable device and it intends to launch the new product later this year. Roh is probably a good source as an official spokesperson for the brand, and these comments suggest Samsung is ironing out the final bits of the new device before having it ready to launch before the year ends. He does not give any specifics on the timeline, but we can assume it could be around October or even November, once the iPhone 17 buzz is over. Samsung Tri-Fold Device Launch: What It Might Offer? Samsung's tri-fold device is still a mystery at least in terms of the features and hardware but a new leak has hinted at its possible launch price. The details from South Korea suggest the Samsung tri-fold price could be around $3,000 (Rs 2.56 lakh approx) which takes it into the Apple Vision Pro territory. Huawei showed us what a tri-fold device can offer, especially when you unfold them. You get a smartphone as well as a 10-inch screen like a tablet packing into one product. The company even offers a keyboard and other accessories to really make use of its versatility. Samsung is expected to have a similar plan for its rumoured Galaxy Fold G model, and it needs the software to be tuned and optimised to run seamlessly across all the avatars of this device. And if the product is going to cost as much, the company needs everything to be close to being perfect. view comments First Published: July 14, 2025, 08:52 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Samsung's upcoming tri-fold phone tipped to be called the Galaxy Z TriFold
Despite rumors, a tri-fold Galaxy did not make an appearance at the recent Galaxy Unpacked. However, last week Samsung Electronics chief TM Roh confirmed that the new model will launch by the end of this year. Roh said 'We are now focusing on perfecting the product and its usability, but we have not decided its name. As the product nears completion, we are planning to make a final decision soon.' The decision may have been made as the name 'Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold' has been floated by Max Jambor as a potential option. Presumably, there would be a number after that too, similar to the Z Flip7 FE, which is the first Z Flip FE, but is part of the Z 7 series nonetheless. The videos above and below were discovered in One UI 8, which launched with the new Z foldables but was beta tested on the Galaxy S25 series first. Previously, 'Galaxy G Fold' had been suggested, but Samsung may be reluctant to move away from the popular 'Z' naming. The 'G' lined up with display prototypes that Samsung showed off as far back as CES 2022. Here are the Flex G and Flex S (note the different folding shapes). Samsung prototype displays from CES 2022: Flex G and Flex S So far, we only have evidence of the code name and model number for the device – Q7M and SM-F968, respectively. For reference, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is Q7 and SM-F966. Anyway, leaked info suggests that the tri-fold will be manufactured in very limited numbers and will be available only in a couple of countries.
