Samsung’s First Tri-Fold Phone Might Be Named ‘Galaxy Z TriFold’, Trademark Suggests

Highlights

• Samsung has reportedly filed a trademark in South Korea for the name “Galaxy Z TriFold,” hinting at its upcoming tri-fold smartphone or series.
• The device is internally codenamed Q7M and is expected to launch by December 2025.
• It is expected to feature a 10-inch inner display, a 6.49-inch cover screen, and a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip.

Samsung may have skipped showing off its much-anticipated tri-fold smartphone at its recent Galaxy Unpacked event, but that won’t stop us from speculating. The latest word is not even a speculation but sort of a confirmation. A new trademark hints that the tri-fold Samsung phone might already have a name lined up.

Trademark Application Reveals Moniker Galaxy Z TriFold

According to recent reports, Samsung has named its tri-fold phone Galaxy Z TriFold.

The name surfaced thanks to a trademark filing in South Korea, spotted by GalaxyClub via SamMobile. While this doesn’t confirm the final branding, it does give us a strong clue.

GalaxyClub speculates that “Galaxy Z TriFold” could either be the name of the tri-fold phone itself or possibly a whole new series of tri-fold devices.

Samsung confirmed after Unpacked that a tri-fold device is still coming this year. Though many details are still under wraps including the final name. The company has at least made it clear that the product is very much in the pipeline.

The tri-fold phone was first teased at the January 2025 Galaxy Unpacked event. Now, Samsung says the device will officially launch by December 2025. While the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 were revealed earlier this month, the tri-fold was notably missing from the lineup.

Samsung Tri-Fold Phone – What We Know?

Codenamed Q7M, the upcoming tri-fold device is expected to feature a 10-inch inner display when unfolded and a 6.49-inch cover screen. It will be powered by Qualcomm’s top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. For now, the launch is likely to be limited to South Korea and China.

Still, the final name isn’t locked in. Some earlier reports suggested names like “Galaxy G Fold,” which would connect it to the “Flex G” prototype Samsung showed off at MWC 2025.

But with this new “Z” trademark, it looks like Samsung might be leaning toward keeping the tri-fold under its existing Galaxy Z series branding or just covering all possibilities by registering multiple names, something big tech companies often do.

If all goes to plan, the Galaxy Z TriFold will land later this year, joining a market currently led only by Huawei’s Mate XT. Whether Samsung’s version will shake up the foldable space or remain a niche offering is something we’ll have to wait and see.
