Samsung will be launching its first tri-fold smartphone this year, and yesterday we heard it could be called Galaxy Z TriFold, since the company has registered that name in Korea.
Today it’s time to talk about the chipset powering it, as this was revealed through lines of code in Samsung’s One UI 8 based on Android 16. And it’s going to be Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, the same one inside the recently launched Galaxy Z Fold7.

According to previous leaks, the TriFold’s inner screen will be around 10″ when unfolded, and there will also be a cover screen too since this device will fold differently compared to Huawei’s Mate XT, the first tri-fold smartphone on the market.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Galaxy Z TriFold is expected to be quite expensive – around KRW 4 million in Korea, which currently translates into about $2,873 or €2,469. Concerningly, the device may only be available in Korea and China, at least initially.
