Samsung was expected to reveal its first tri-fold smartphone in the coming months, but according to the latest rumors, the new "Galaxy G Fold" tri-fold smartphone will launch in Q4 2025.
In a new report from The Bell, we're hearing that Samsung will be launching its flagship tri-fold Galaxy G Fold alongside a more affordable Galaxy Z Flip FE smartphone. These new foldable smartphones were expected to launch in July or August, but now the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be launching with the Galaxy G Fold and Galaxy Z Flip FE in Q4 2025.
The release window for Samsung's new foldables is in a constant state of flux, as its tri-fold "Galaxy G Fold" will be a competitor to Huawei's Mate XT tri-fold smartphone available in China. First, it was expected in Q3 2025, but now we're a couple of months closer to the holidays in Q4 2025.
In a bid to make foldable smartphones more appealing in a mainstream market, the new Galaxy Z Flip 7 SE could find itself priced at under $1000, leaving the new tri-fold Galaxy G Fold at the opposite side of that, and the regular Galaxy Z Fold 7 priced at under its new ultra-premium, tri-fold smartphone.
China's Huawei has been excelling in a market it was first in with its tri-fold Mate XT smartphone, and while you can't buy it in the US, it seems Samsung will have a tri-fold smartphone on the market to fight for that very market later this year.
