Samsung's groundbreaking tri-fold smartphone with a triple camera system may be imminent
In the realm of innovative smartphone technology, Samsung is rumored to be working on a groundbreaking device: the Galaxy G Fold, a tri-fold phone that could revolutionise the industry. Here's what we know so far about this intriguing gadget.
## Design and Features
The Galaxy G Fold is expected to boast a unique 'G' shape, thanks to its two internal folds, reminiscent of the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate. It is predicted to feature four screens, including a cover display situated between two edges, and selfie cameras on two of the four panels. The device will also sport three vertically aligned camera sensors at the back.
## Specifications
If the rumours are to be believed, the Galaxy G Fold will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor, similar to the Samsung Galaxy S25 series. It is also speculated to offer RAM options like 12GB and storage starting from 256GB. The fully open screen size is speculated to be around 10 inches, with a cover screen measuring approximately 6.49 inches. The battery capacity remains a mystery, but it is rumoured to use 25W charging, although faster charging options like 45W are desired.
## Availability
The Galaxy G Fold is expected to be available by the end of 2025, with mass production beginning in September. However, official confirmation from Samsung is awaited for precise specifications and availability.
## The Man Behind the Lens
Ben Andrews, the Imaging Labs manager, is responsible for all the testing on Digital Camera World and the entire photography portfolio at Future. With years of experience in trialling and testing camera equipment, Ben Andrews is the go-to person for technical insight regarding camera equipment, including lenses, image sensors, bridge cameras, and camera phones. He is also responsible for testing camera bags, filters, memory cards, and various camera accessories. Ben Andrews is considered a human encyclopedia of benchmarks when it comes to recommending the best camera buys.
## A Glimpse into the Future
The non-camera panel wouldn't have a large enough hinge to wrap around the camera panel, potentially leaving the screen vulnerable to breaking if the panels are folded in the wrong order. This design quirk might be due to the two hinges being of different sizes to allow the phone to fold up neatly.
Samsung's first tri-fold phone could be officially revealed at the next Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for July 9th. Until then, the world eagerly awaits the unveiling of this exciting new device.
