Samsung's long-awaited tri-fold phone is gaining ground and could be about to be released. Although there's no official announcement, The brand has acknowledged that it is working in a trifold format. and executives from its mobile division have indicated that the project is in very advanced stages.
In the The name 'Galaxy Z TriFold' now appears in commercial registers., although the final name could change. The objective is clear: a device that combines the portability of a phone with the spaciousness of a tablet, supported by new multitasking features designed to take advantage of the triple fold.
Design, displays and features of the tri-fold
The leaks describe a system of double hinge that folds the device into a 'Z' shape. In closed form it would act like a conventional mobile phone with an external screen of around 6,5 inches; when fully unfolded, would reveal an internal panel close to 10 inches, OLED type, designed for productivity tasks, video and games.
A key difference from other approaches is that The large internal screen would be protected by folding the two leaves inwardsThis mechanism, already anticipated in prototypes exhibited by Samsung at industry fairs, would also allow for useful intermediate positions to support it on the table and record or make video calls without accessories.
Software will play an important role. Several advances indicate that the device will allow open and manage three applications in parallel through a multi-window mode that is internally known as 'Split Trio'There's also talk of options for mirroring the home screen to the dashboard and organizing icons and widgets on different pages.
In terms of hardware, the triple-foldable would rely on top-of-the-line components: Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy (3nm), combinations of 12 or 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storagePlanned features include wireless charging and reverse charging for accessories.
In photography, the sources coincide in a rear module of three cameras with a 200 MP main sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide angle and a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, a set similar to that seen in the most recent Fold range and comparable to the best cell phone cameraThe form factor itself would make it easier to use the main camera for selfies, with one of the screens serving as a viewfinder.
Launch, availability and price
The brand name is not yet final: references to 'Galaxy Z TriFold' and also 'Galaxy TriFold' have been seen. What does seem firm is that Samsung is preparing its presentation very soon.At IFA (Berlin), mobile division officials indicated that development is in its final stages and that the company is aiming for a launch before the end of the year.
In parallel, Korean media report that the device would have received certifications in his country and that the first run would be small, with an initial rollout focused on Asia. Production figures such as 50.000 units have been mentioned on several occasions, but always in the realm of rumors.
Availability outside of those markets is still under discussion. Several sources indicate that Samsung considers later arrival in the United States, a territory in which this format would have no direct rival due to the restrictions affecting Huawei, the other major promoter of the trifold concept.
The cost is also high. According to estimates from several leakers, the price would exceed 3.000 euros, which would place it as the most expensive smartphone in Samsung's catalogIt would therefore be a niche product intended to showcase technology and boost the brand.
At a time when folding phones are already common, this triple-fold model would arrive for redefine uses and formats in the high-end rangeTrue multitasking, more usable surface area, and a design designed to protect the main screen are the pillars of a proposal that seeks to open a new chapter in the category.
It is worth remembering that, until the presentation, all these details remain subject to change. Samsung has not released official spec sheets or an exact date., so the data collected here responds to public records, statements from executives and reports from specialized media.
If the deadlines given by the sources are met, we will soon clear up any doubts: A close debut, staggered launch, and high price They draw the most likely scenario for a Galaxy Z TriFold that aims to be a mobile phone and tablet in a single device.
