10-inch Galaxy G Fold may be Samsung’s incoming tri-fold
Instead of an S-fold, Samsung will reportedly use a G-shaped fold, which was recently demonstrated in one of its G-Flex prototypes, as shown below. This design folds inward from both the left and right sides, covering and protecting the display entirely when closed. By avoiding an outward-facing screen when folded, Samsung’s approach should offer significantly better protection from scratches, impact damage, and wear over time.
According to the blog post, the rumored Galaxy G Fold could feature a 9.96-inch display, which would make it nearly 30% bigger than the Z Fold 6’s 7.6-inch screen. When folded, its height is tipped to measure 6.54 inches, comparable to a standard smartphone.

The report notes that it will be similar in weight to “H,” which could be referring to HUAWEI’s Mate XT. However, Samsung’s tri-foldable is expected to be slightly thicker, likely due to the inward-folding design.
The Galaxy G Fold will also weigh 298 grams (10.51 ounces), matching that of the Mate XT. We hope that part of the heft will go to giving the tri-fold a sizeable battery like the 5,600 mAh unit on the Huawei, if not better.

According to Lanzuk on Naver, Samsung’s tri-fold smartphone won’t fit into the Galaxy Z series, though, instead being called the “Galaxy G Fold.”The blog also mentions that the G Fold will use newly developed displays and protective films that are distinct from those in current Z-series phones.
For now, treat this information with a grain of salt. It has been reported that Samsung could launch multiple foldables this year, including the usual Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7, along with the budget Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, and the speculated tri-folding phone. Whether Samsung’s tri-folding phone sees the light of day in 2025 or 2026 remains to be seen.
