Samsung teased its upcoming tri-fold smartphone at the recent Galaxy S25 Unpacked event, revealing only a silhouette of the device. It was a subtle hint, with no additional details provided.
However, tipster yeux1122 has now shared on Naver that the foldable will be called the “Galaxy G Fold.” According to the leak, the device could launch as early as Q3 2025, making it one of Samsung’s most ambitious foldable projects yet.
Samsung Galaxy G Fold Specs (Expected)
The leak also says that the Galaxy G Fold is expected to feature a 9.96-inch display, which is nearly 30% larger than the 7.6-inch panel on the Galaxy Z Fold 6. When folded, the device reportedly measures 6.54 inches, making it similar in height to conventional smartphones. While it is said to have a weight comparable to Huawei’s Mate XT, it might be slightly thicker due to its inward-folding design.
Unlike previous foldables from Samsung, the Galaxy G Fold is rumored to introduce a G-shaped folding mechanism, where both sides of the screen fold inward. This design choice is expected to offer better protection by preventing the display from being exposed when closed, unlike Huawei’s Mate XT, which features an S-shaped fold that leaves part of the screen vulnerable.
Samsung is also said to be developing a new type of display and protective film specifically for this device, further enhancing durability. Given the complexities involved in manufacturing such a foldable, production volumes are expected to be limited, and the device could be positioned as an experimental, high-end offering rather than a mainstream flagship.
While some reports initially suggested a 2026 launch, display analyst Ross Young has indicated that Samsung may release the Galaxy G Fold sooner, possibly in late 2025 alongside Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7.
However, pricing remains uncertain. Considering Huawei’s Mate XT launched at nearly $2,800, Samsung’s tri-fold device could also carry a premium price tag exceeding $2,000.
