Samsung, which launched the era of folding phones with the Galaxy Z Fold in 2019, is said to be set to raise the bar. The brand is allegedly set to unveil its first tri-fold ever, potentially dubbed Galaxy Z TriFold, at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Gyeongju, South Korea, set for October 31 to November 1, 2025.

The international summit can be the platform for a special showcase where Samsung launches its new foldable innovation.

How it looks

Leaks indicate that the Galaxy Z TriFold will have a G-style inward folding mechanism with three foldable parts. In a fully open form, it becomes a 9.96-inch tablet-like display, whereas in folded form, customers have a 6.54-inch display for their daily use.

Samsung actually previewed this idea previously at Galaxy Unpacked 2025 in January, indicating that it plans to remain competitive in the foldable game—a domain in which it's still a leader with Huawei.

Anticipated features and specs

  • Rumors suggest some heavy hardware beneath the surface:
  • Snapdragon 8 Elite chip for flagships-level performance
  • 200MP triple-camera system with high-end imaging features
  • Silicon-carbon battery with higher efficiency than standard cells
  • Android 16 with One UI 8 out of the box

In terms of production, Samsung might limit initial production to just 50,000 units. The initial rollout would likely be in South Korea and China before rolling it out to other markets based on demand.

India launch timeline

India has emerged as a robust foldables market, and Samsung typically introduces its flagships here shortly after the worldwide release. If the Galaxy Z TriFold does release towards the end of October 2025, Indian customers can realistically look to receive it in early 2026.

Considering how Samsung's foldables do within the premium segment, the tri-fold is likely to find its way to Indian stores, though a bit later.
