On the final day of October, Samsung presented its first dual-folding tablet to the audience at the APEC summit, although it was behind glass and had very limited access. There are no high-resolution images or specific details available regarding the trifoldable device. Furthermore, it is still not clear when or where the Samsung trifoldable, possibly named Galaxy Z TriFold or Galaxy G Fold, will actually hit the market.
Model Variants and Market Plans
Interestingly, the Samsung foldable with the internal code Q7M has recently appeared on the Bluetooth SIG website with six different model variants, as seen in the screenshot below. According to leaks, the launch is expected to cover more than just the Korean and Chinese markets. The model numbers SM-D639N and SM-D6390 are likely for the two Asian regions, while the SM-D639U and SM-D639Ui models are aimed at the United States. The remaining SM-D639B and SM-D639B/SD models are considered “international” variants, which could suggest availability in Europe.
European Launch Uncertainty
It remains uncertain if Samsung’s trifoldable will officially launch in Europe. So far, only a release in the United Arab Emirates has been confirmed, alongside the two models. There are also rumors about launches in Taiwan and Singapore, yet there hasn’t been any mention of a European launch. During Samsung’s latest quarterly earnings announcement, they hinted at new foldable designs for 2026, indicating that a launch this year is likely not going to happen.
