While not exactly launched as tipped yesterday, Samsung did showcase its tri-fold smartphone at the 2025 K-Tech Showcase event. The device, which still does not have an official name, was seen at the Samsung booth behind a protective glass display case. Attendees were not allowed to touch or hold the device.

South Korea’s ChosunMedia shared images of the device, which reveal its folded and fully unfolded states. We say it is fully unfolded as it features two hinges allowing it to stretch its display diagonal up to 10 inches.
In its fully folded state, the phone shrinks to a 6.5-inch diagonal for easier one-handed usability like on the Galaxy Z Fold7.

Sadly, Samsung did not share any additional details for the tri-fold smartphone, but we did get previous confirmation that it will launch this year. The Galaxy G Fold or Galaxy Z TriFold (placeholder names) will get an extremely limited launch run with Samsung allegedly producing as few as 50,000 units during its initial production run.
In terms of specs, previous rumors suggest the device will feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, a triple camera setup and weigh around 298g. It is expected to retail for around $2,800 and will be available in a select number of markets, including China, South Korea, the US and the UAE.
