According to reliable tipster Setsuna Digital, Samsung may offer the first official preview of its tri-fold smartphone at the event. This will likely be a showcase, not the proper launch of the first-ever tri-fold from Samsung. The full launch is expected in October, but the company may use the Unpacked stage to tease what’s next.

According to rumors, this device could be called the Galaxy G Fold and might feature a tri-folding display with an enhanced titanium chassis for extra durability. It’s also expected to use silicon-carbon battery tech for more efficient power usage. The phone might even pack a 200MP camera sensor and come with a premium price tag. Samsung has previously showcased tri-fold concepts at events like CES, but this would mark the first time the tech giant hints at a consumer-ready product.

Samsung is also rumoured to expand its Galaxy AI suite, possibly debuting One UI 8.0 features like Selfie Studio for AI-powered front-facing photos, smarter text generation and summarization, and more on-device AI editing tools for photos and videos.

Samsung Tri-Fold Design Leak

Samsung might have actually secretly dropped some subtle hints about the design of the tri-fold phone in their UI. This leak was spotted by Android Authority, and according to their report, new animation files embedded in the One UI 8.0 software show a multi-panel foldable device. The animation suggests a three-part design.

This is completely different from Huawei’s tri-fold, as the screens on Samsung’s display appear to fold inwards.
