Jonathan Feist / Android Authority TL;DR A new internal beta of One UI 8 has confirmed the chip that will appear in Samsung’s triple-screen foldable. “SM8750” appears next to the codename for the tri-fold. This is the model number for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. Samsung has been working on a triple-screen foldable phone, much like the HUAWEI Mate XT. Recently, there’s been a flurry of reports about the foldable, including our own story about the device being ready to be put into produ

This ‘G’ Tri-Fold Phone Bends in Ways That Make Me Uncomfortable

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-07-19 17:00:49

Darwinian evolution is speedrunning foldable phone development. “Z”-style folds from companies like the Huawei Mate XT collapse in a zig-zag pattern, exposing one side of the screen to the elements. The new alternate universe tri-fold could be Tecno’s Phantom Ultimate G Fold concept phone that literally wraps around itself like a big “G.” This actually may be the better way to do tri-folds, but Samsung would need to think long and hard about device integrity if it’s using this same design for it

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Review: Foldable Perfection That’s Tempting Me to Leave My iPhone

gizmodo.com Raymond Wong 2025-07-22 01:15:52

2025 Disregard the fact that there’s a whole world of Chinese-made book-style foldables as thin and light as the Galaxy Z Fold 7 that Americans can’t buy, and Samsung’s latest phone-to-tablet foldable is what we’ve been waiting for. It only took Samsung six years to make its flagship foldable as svelte as a regular bar smartphone, but the Z Fold 7 delivers in all aspects. The only thing that holds it back is the $2,000 price tag, a $100 increase over last year’s Z Fold 6. See Galaxy Z Fold 7 a

Do you have a job that requires lots of time at a desk, staring at a screen or looking down at a phone? If so, you could be straining more than your eyes.

Samsung recently unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip 7, and while the phone is still expensive -- it'll set you back $1,100 to start -- it's matching the price of its predecessor.
