Samsung’s much-anticipated tri-fold phone, likely to be named the Samsung G Fold, may be closer to launch than expected. A fresh leak from tipster @PandaFlashPro reveals that the upcoming device could share several design features with the soon-to-launch Galaxy Z Fold 7.

According to the leak, both foldables will feature identical speaker designs integrated within the chassis, likely following the same pattern established by the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
The two devices are also expected to use a similar hinge mechanism, contributing to what’s being described as a “full-flat body.” This likely means users can expect minimal screen creasing and a smoother surface—something Samsung enthusiasts have been hoping for.
Samsung’s Smart Strategy: Parts Reusability
By adopting common components between the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy G Fold, Samsung stands to cut production costs. Despite the G Fold requiring an additional hinge and a third screen, reusing internal parts allows the tech giant to manage resources more efficiently.
Display Specs and Folding Style Revealed
Unlike the Huawei Mate XT, Samsung’s tri-fold will fold inward, necessitating the inclusion of an outer screen alongside the main foldable display. Display sizes are expected to be:
- Outer display: 6.49 inches
- Inner display: 9.96 inches
Brightness is rumored to hit 2,600 nits, and wired charging may stay at 25W, consistent with current Galaxy foldables.
Launch Timeline and Availability
Samsung is gearing up for a big launch window in July, when the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 are expected to debut. The Galaxy G Fold will likely be unveiled at the same time, although it may not hit store shelves until later in the year.
Potential buyers should be prepared for limited availability during the initial release.
While official pricing is yet to be announced, the Galaxy G Fold is expected to cost more than the standard Galaxy Z Fold model, which already comes with a hefty launch price tag of $1,899.99 / £1,799 / AU$ 2,749.
Samsung’s G Fold could be a bold leap in foldable phone design, merging innovation with strategic efficiency. Whether the market is ready for a tri-fold phone at a premium price remains to be seen, but anticipation is undoubtedly building.
