Huawei stunned smartphone enthusiasts last year by launching the world's first triple-screen foldable phone — Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design. Samsung is all set to fight back against the competition by introducing its own tri-fold phone. The South Korean brand teased its first multi-fold phone during its Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event. Now, a new leak has surfaced online that hints at the possible name of the device. The Samsung Tri-fold phone is likely to come with a 10-inch display.

Tipster Yeux1122 on the South Korean blog Naver suggested that Samsung's multi-fold phone will be called the 'Galaxy G Fold', following the naming pattern of its Z Fold series. Citing industry sources and display analyst Ross Young the tipster states that the handset will be released in January next year.

Samsung's purported Galaxy G Fold is said to feature a 9.96-inch display, larger than the Galaxy Z Fold 6's 7.6-inch screen. It is said to measure 6.54 inches when folded. The folding mechanism of Samsung's tri-fold phone is said to be different from the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design. The upcoming handset is said to have a folding mechanism that lets the display fold inward from both sides.

The blog post mentions that the weight of the Galaxy G Fold will be about the same as "H", and this could be a reference to Huawei's Mate XT Ultimate Design. However, Samsung's tri-foldable handset is tipped to be slightly thicker. The Galaxy G Fold will reportedly use newly developed displays and protective films.

During the recently concluded Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event, Jay Kim, Head of Products and Experiences Office at Samsung offered a brief glimpse at the company's long-rumoured tri-folding phone. The brand is expected to manufacture 3,00,000 units (or less) of the triple folding phone, which is said to come with a high price tag.
