Samsung is ready to take the next step in foldables with its first tri-fold mobilea device that, except for last minute changes, will be presented in the coming days. It's not an isolated experiment: Samsung has been leaving clues in its software and trademark registrations for months, and the latest reports point to an imminent announcement at a corporate event in South Korea. The question is no longer whether it exists, but when and where can we buy it.
For Android and gadget readers, the move makes sense: a trifold format could combine phone, mini tablet and large tablet mode in the same body, with double hinges and new multitasking views in One UI. If Samsung gets the weight, thickness and resistance right, we would be facing the biggest leap in form factor since the first Galaxy Fold.
Launch: first in Asia and with limited units
Unfortunately for foldable enthusiasts — and despite recent rumors to the contrary — I think it's very unlikely that Samsung will release its first trifold beyond Korea, the greater Chinese market (including Singapore & Taiwan), & possibly the UAE. I'd love to be wrong, though.

The company's plans would not involve an immediate global deployment. The most likely strategy is to start in Asian markets (South Korea, China, Singapore or Taiwan) with reduced availability and a limited manufacturing volume. This tactic would allow us to measure the real demand for such a different product and refine the software and logistics before expanding the radius. This would also explain why Samsung would have decided to delay its launch in the United States and Europe, despite the progress.
As for the price, there is nothing official, but we can wait a price above the “classic” folding ones of the brand. The message is clear: it is a sample of innovation rather than a mass-selling product. Even so, the market's interest in a triple-folding model is evident, and the race with rivals such as Huawei pushes not to fall asleep.
“G-Fold” design and key features in One UI
The tracks in One UI show a double hinge with “G” shaped fold (two folds inward) and animations that suggest support for NFC and wireless chargingin addition to shortcuts designed to open three applications at the same time with more natural dragging gestures. On the hardware, the leaks talk about titanium frame, 16GB RAM and a single snapdragon chip for all markets. These are data to be taken with caution, but they fit with Samsung's roadmap for its high ranges in 2025.
Another relevant indication is the interface: when fully deployed, the main panel would be about ten inches, which turns the triple folding device into a “real” Android tablet. Here Samsung seems to focus on optimizing floating windows, dragging between apps, and stylus shortcutsso that the increase in productivity is real and not just a visual effect.
What can we expect for the western market?
If the premiere stays in Asia, the logical thing would be to plan a second launch in selected regions, if the initial response is positive. Spain is a Samsung fetish market on Android, so we do not rule out a limited arrival to official stores and partners if additional production is confirmed. Until then, it is advisable to be cautious with the timing: it is an ambitious project and Samsung will prioritize solidity over haste.
A new format to double the market
If the triple folding delivers as promised—good autonomy, durable hinges, and a “real” multitasking— could redefine what we expect from a “mobile-tablet.” This launch could calm some discomfort among fans, due to the possible delay in the Galaxy S26 series launchnews that is still a topic of conversation in the technological world.
Do you see yourself using a Samsung Galaxy that goes from phone to large tablet in seconds or would you prefer to stick with a traditional foldable? We read you in the comments.
