Samsung might be ready to take foldables one step further. A recent patent filing hints that the company’s upcoming tri-fold smartphone-possibly called the Galaxy Z TriFold-could come with not one or two, but three batteries inside. The design sketches were spotted on South Korea’s KIPRIS database, offering a closer look at how Samsung might power this ambitious foldable. Also Read: Running Out Of Space?

According to the filing, the Galaxy Z TriFold will likely feature three connected panels, each housing its own battery. These are expected to be linked together through ribbon cables. The section with the camera setup reportedly holds the smallest battery, while the middle and last panels get larger ones to balance the power load.

While the exact capacity isn’t mentioned, the combined battery size could easily surpass the 4,400mAh battery found in the Galaxy Z Fold 7. With a much bigger display and three active screens, Samsung seems to be focusing on longer battery life and stability across the foldable’s different modes.

Samsung Tri-Fold Design and Camera Details

From what the patent sketches show, the Galaxy Z TriFold follows a G-style inward folding mechanism. When fully opened, the screen could measure close to 9.9 inches, giving it a tablet-like experience. The outer part of the phone is said to feature a triple-camera setup-possibly led by a 200MP primary sensor-along with two additional lenses that could handle ultrawide and zoom photography.

Samsung might also be exploring a silicon-carbon battery type for this model, which could improve charging efficiency and heat management-two areas where foldables often struggle.

Samsung Tri-Fold Expected Launch 

While Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed anything, reports suggest the Galaxy Z TriFold could make its first appearance during the APEC Summit in Gyeongju, South Korea, from October 31 to November 1. It’s expected to launch first in South Korea and China, with limited early production of around 50,000 units.
