Last month, we first heard whispers of a potential trifold phone from Samsung. The leak came from a source with a reputable track record, but now another source corroborates the information and gives it even more credibility.
Leaker Yeux1122 posted on Naver, sort of the Google of South Korea, that Samsung has the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Fold 7 FE, and a trifold Fold 7 variant slated for release in 2025. The Fold 7 and Fold 7 FE are expected to launch at the same time, but there’s no firm timeline for the rumored trifold.
Unfortunately, that’s all the information the leak included. We have no hints at the design or the specs of the phone, but we can take a look at similar devices on the market. The Huawei Mate XT has a design we can only assume is similar to the phone Samsung has in development, giving it a 6.4-inch screen when fully folded, a 7.9-inch screen with two panels open, or a 10.2-inch screen when all three are unfolded.
Compared to the 7.6-inch screen the Galaxy Z Fold 6 offers, that’s a significant size increase. Three panels gives folks the ability to customize their user experience, but it also just makes the phone far more versatile overall. Want a more narrow, portrait display for reading? Not a problem. Need every inch of screen space to catch up on the latest episodes of Only Murders in the Building? Open it all the way.
There’s a point where a larger screen yields diminishing returns, especially when it’s touch-based. I wouldn’t want to try to navigate around my TV by touch input, but as long as Samsung’s foldable remains around the 10-inch mark, it shouldn’t be too unwieldy to hold and use. There’s enormous potential with a device like this, and we can’t wait to keep learning about it.

New photos give us another look at Samsung’s next Galaxy Z Fold
Leaked images of what appears to be a special edition of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 have surfaced, offering a few glimpses of the upcoming foldable phone. While the images don’t reveal the complete picture, they confirm some key design elements and hint at potential color options. These images were posted on X by Evan Blass and later mentioned by Android Headlines.
One image showcased shows a prominent rear camera bump housing three lenses. While this confirms a triple-camera setup, it seems that a periscope telephoto lens won’t be included, potentially disappointing those hoping for enhanced zoom capabilities.
It’s almost 2025, and it’s time to end the Android vs. iPhone debate
I had the iPhone 11 for over four years. It was the first iPhone I owned. It stayed with me through the COVID-19 pandemic and two overseas trips — one to Hawaii and the other to Spain.
When the time came to upgrade, it was only natural for my entire family to want to get their hands on the iPhone 16. I, on the other hand, wanted to get the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6. However, that didn’t happen — and the reason why is infuriating.
A very real (and very annoying) issue
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra may take a page from the Z Fold 6
Smartphone manufacturers rarely change how rear cameras look from generation to generation. When they do, it makes news, like when the regular Apple iPhone 16 launched with a new vertical pill-shaped camera system last month. Now, Samsung is about to make a camera design change, this time on the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra.
According to Ice Universe, Samsung’s next flagship device will feature a camera design slightly similar to that of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. While this isn’t an earth-shattering change, it’s interesting nonetheless.
