Samsung confirmed at its Galaxy S25 launch event that it’s working on a tri-fold phone. While it didn’t show off the device, it’s expected to launch sometime in Q3 2025—around the same time as the rumored Galaxy Z Fold 7 / Flip 7.
And as is often the case in the world of smartphones, leaks and rumors are already giving us an early look at what to expect. The latest comes from industry analyst Ross Young, who claims that Samsung’s tri-fold will feature a 6.49-inch cover display.
Samsung tri-fold may share same cover display size as Z Fold 7
When fully unfolded, the device is expected to offer a massive 10-inch screen. Interestingly, Young also notes that the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 will feature the same 6.49-inch cover display.
That display size is similar to the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, suggesting that Samsung is finally moving away from the narrow cover screens it offers on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and earlier models.
But here’s where things get interesting: unlike Huawei’s tri-fold, which bends in an S- or Z-shape and leaves part of the screen exposed, Samsung’s take on the form factor will reportedly use a G-style folding mechanism. This means the display will fold inward on both sides with no screen area exposed. As a result, we can expect better durability of the foldable.
Samsung is also reportedly developing a new type of display and protective film specifically for this device. Given the complexities involved in manufacturing such a foldable, production volumes are expected to be limited. As a result, the device could be positioned as an experimental, high-end offering rather than a mainstream flagship.
The big question is how much will it cost? One thing’s for sure—it won’t be cheap. The Huawei Mate XT launched at nearly $2,800 in China, so we can expect Samsung’s tri-fold to land in a similar price range.
