Samsung is about to take a big step in foldable phone technology. Starting next month, the company will reportedly begin mass production of a brand new screen that can fold into three parts. This new display will be used in Samsung’s first Tri-Fold phone, which might be called the Galaxy G Fold. The phone is expected to be released later in 2025.

The Korean tech giant has been working on Tri-Fold screens for several years and has shown test models at events. Now, the company is ready to start making them in large numbers.

According to information via Jukanlosreve, Samsung will start mass production of the Tri-Fold display panels next month. It has also been mentioned that Samsung will produce around 200,000 to 300,000 tri-fold displays in the first batch.

The Galaxy G Fold is likely to feature advanced design and will be quite expensive, possibly more than the current Galaxy Z Fold models. It may be priced similarly to Huawei’s tri-fold phone, the Mate XT, which has already sold 400,000 units globally since February 2025. This shows that people are interested in new foldable phone designs, even if they cost a lot.

At first, Samsung might sell the Galaxy G Fold only in a few countries, including Korea and China. If it does well, the company will expand to more markets.

In addition to this, the company is also planning to release the next generations of its other foldable devices, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7, in July 2025.

Some reports claimed that the Samsung Tri-Fold phone will share several components similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, like the hinge mechanism, speaker drivers, and cutouts. In addition, it might use a Silicon-Carbon battery to store more power in a smaller space. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung’s Tri-Fold to adopt Galaxy Z Fold 7 design and feature Silicon-Carbon battery

Galaxy Z Fold7 is going to be the slimmest foldable by Samsung. Recent inputs suggest the phone could even beat its arch rivals in terms of sleekness. Recently, a credible tipster shared a body size comparison of the newest Samsung foldables.

In foldables, thickness matters the most! As the phone folds like a book, the folded state thickness surpasses the usual thickness of bar-style handsets. However, 2025 is going to welcome sleek yet innovative foldables.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold7 could feature 158.4 mm length, 143.1 mm width, and 3.9 mm thickness. It points to a slightly taller, wider, and thinner design than the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, while the difference from Fold6 is huge.

The Galaxy Z Fold7 would introduce an elevated experience on a large screen. The device would be equipped with an 8-inch foldable screen. The cover screen ratio may also be streamlined to match the current requirements.

Here’s a dimension comparison in the chart, below:

While we have a pretty good idea of length, width, and thickness, the figures in the folded state remain to be learned. Still, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is presenting a significant upgrade in terms of sleek and lightweight design.

Despite reducing thickness and weight, the next Fold is set to retain a 4400mAh battery. The company may debut new battery and charging technologies. Snapdragon 8 Elite and Android 16-based One UI 8 are in the limelight.

Expect the 2025 Fold, Flip launch in early July.

Samsung is pushing to revive its foundry business with 2nm semiconductors. The company aims for a comeback in the semiconductor market with Exynos 2600 in the Galaxy S26 series, using the advanced 2nm GAA node.

Korean media reports that Samsung finished testing its first-gen 2nm process. The focus now is on improving yield, the share of defect-free chips. Samsung’s 2nm yield is reportedly 40–50%, below the 60% needed for mass production.

Samsung previously led with 3nm chips but struggled with low yields, losing customers. It aims to avoid this with the 2nm Exynos 2600 processor, which is expected to power the Galaxy S26 smartphones, set for release in 2026.

An industry expert said Samsung’s 2nm process is critical for its foundry future. TSMC’s higher yields are a challenge, but Samsung’s early use of gate-all-around (GAA) technology in advanced chips could help it compete.

Aside from this, Samsung is also in talks with Qualcomm for 2nm production. The company might produce the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 for Galaxy on its 2nm process. This chipset could power the next year’s Galaxy Z Fold and Flip models.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is finally coming on May 13. The company has officially showcased its design earlier this year. However, the upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge is getting revealed in leaked press images along with cases and a screen protector.

Official promo images of the Galaxy S25 Edge have been leaked alongside protective cases and anti-reflective screen film. After press pictures, AndroidHeadlines has come up with official promotional material ahead of the launch.

Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2

Samsung has recently introduced the Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2. This innovative glass protection will debut with the Galaxy S25 Edge next week. The product features enhanced durability and incorporates built-in Heat Treatment tech.

Samsung is working on a new tri-fold smartphone, the Galaxy G Fold, expected to launch later this year. While there’s no official release date yet, rumors suggest Samsung’s Tri-Fold will have some similar features to the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7.

According to the tipster @PanadaFlashPro, Samsung’s Tri-Fold will share several components similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, like the hinge mechanism, speaker drivers, and cutouts. This could help reduce costs and speed up production.

By using the same parts in both phones, Samsung can keep production costs lower and make the phone more affordable. Since the Tri-Fold will likely be made in limited quantities, it might be a more exclusive product.

Moreover, the same tipster also reveals that this Samsung Tri-Fold might use a Silicon-Carbon battery. This type of battery is more efficient, allowing the phone to store more power in a smaller space.

Samsung is also expected to use silicon-carbon battery technology in its future Galaxy S26 series, set to launch in 2026. While this is not confirmed yet, it could make the Tri-Fold the first phone to use this new battery technology.

Aside from this, the GSMA database also revealed that the phone is being called “Q7M” internally, but this is just a code name. There are two versions of the phone listed: one for South Korea (SM-F968N) and another for China (SM-F9680). It is expected to be available in only a few countries, mainly China and Korea.
