Samsung’s first tri-fold phone might have an ultra-exclusive, high-price launch

We’ve known for a while now that Samsung has been working on a triple foldable phone – you know, like what Huawei launched last year with the Mate XT. Samsung even confirmed the device during the Galaxy S25 series launch earlier this year and since then, rumors have been slowly building up a clearer picture of what’s coming and when to expect it. Now, a fresh leak gives us even more specifics, including some pretty exact numbers.

According to the latest report, Samsung’s first tri-foldable – which might be called the Galaxy G Fold – is set to launch in Q3 this year. That timeline makes a lot of sense, considering the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 are expected in July. It sounds like the new tri-fold phone might debut right alongside them.

But here’s where it might get a bit frustrating – availability could be super limited. Right now, it is looking like only South Korea and China will get the device at launch. So if you are in the US or Europe, importing might be your only option if you are really set on owning one.

Then again, even if you manage to get one, affording it is a whole different story. As expected, it will be produced in limited quantities and carry a steep price tag – somewhere between $3,000 and $3,500. That puts it right in the same ballpark as the Huawei Mate XT’s $3,500 launch price.
