Samsung's much-anticipated tri-fold phone, the Galaxy Z TriFold, has made its debut in the Bluetooth SIG certification database. This new device boasts five distinct models: SM-D6390, SM-D639N, SM-D639U, SM-D639U1, and SM-D639B. It's speculated that each model is tailored for a specific market. For instance, the model ending with 'B' (SM-D639B) is likely the global variant, suggesting that the phone will transcend geographical barriers and enjoy widespread availability across multiple markets globally.
Previously leaked patent filings have shed light on the device's innovative design. The Galaxy Z TriFold is set to feature a 'dual-hinge, triple-screen foldable' configuration. When fully unfolded, it offers a sprawling screen real estate of over 10 inches, seamlessly blending the productivity of a tablet with the portability of a smartphone.
According to insiders from the supply chain, Samsung has successfully tackled the durability issues associated with tri-fold screens. The inner screen's folding endurance has been significantly enhanced, now capable of withstanding over 500,000 folds. Moreover, the phone is rumored to sport a customized Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset and a 20-megapixel under-display camera. It will also support the S Pen stylus and DeX desktop mode, catering specifically to the needs of high-end business professionals and creative individuals.
Supply chain sources further indicate that the Galaxy Z TriFold is poised to enter mass production in the first quarter of 2026, with an official launch slated for the second quarter. The anticipated starting price for this cutting-edge device ranges between $2,500 and $3,000.
