The final design of Samsung’s upcoming tri-folding phone, the Galaxy Z TriFold, has been revealed in a recently published patent application. While the device may resemble an expanded Galaxy Z Fold 7 in appearance, its internals feature completely different engineering.

Detailed renderings reveal that the Galaxy Z TriFold is powered by three separate batteries, not a single or dual. Each foldable section of the phone houses a battery, each of which varies in size.
Looking at the battery layout, the camera area houses the smallest battery. The middle section, which houses the cover display, contains the second-largest battery, while the third segment, which lies between the two folded sections, holds the largest battery.
The patent documents do not provide any technical information regarding battery capacity or charging speeds. However, the renderings provide a much clearer picture than previous prototype patents, showing the device’s overall structure and the order in which the segments should fold.
Rumors about the device’s hardware have also surfaced. The Galaxy Z TriFold is reportedly powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and will feature up to 16GB of RAM. Camera specifications are expected to include a 200MP main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a 50MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom.
The display is expected to feature a 10-inch foldable Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel. This larger display is expected to have a wider aspect ratio than the current Galaxy Z Fold models, providing a more tablet-like experience.
Previous reports indicate that Samsung may unveil the Galaxy Z TriFold at the end of October. However, the device may be available in limited markets, similar to the Galaxy Z Fold SE, which is only available in China and Korea.
