Contrary to recent reports suggesting that Samsung’s long-awaited tri-fold phone may not debut in the U.S. or European markets, a new certification listing hints otherwise.
Samsung’s upcoming device, believed to be its first tri-fold smartphone, has appeared on the Bluetooth SIG website under the product name Q7M. The listing includes several model numbers such as SM-D639B, SM-D639B/DS, SM-D639U, SM-D639U1, SM-D639N, and SM-D6390, each corresponding to different regional variants.
A closer look at these models reveals that Samsung may be preparing a global launch:
- SM-D639U / U1 – U.S. carrier-locked and unlocked versions
- SM-D639B / B/DS – Global and European models
- SM-D639N – South Korean variant
- SM-D6390 – Chinese or Hong Kong version
The inclusion of U.S. (U/U1) and European (B/BDS) variants in the official Bluetooth certification strongly suggests that Samsung isn’t limiting its tri-fold innovation to Asian markets.
This directly contrasts with a recent Android Central report, which claimed Samsung might skip the U.S. and European launch due to market maturity and pricing strategy. However, the Bluetooth SIG database, which lists devices shortly before commercial rollout, indicates otherwise.
While the Bluetooth listing doesn’t reveal specifications, it confirms that the tri-fold device is moving closer to launch. With model numbers covering nearly all major markets, it seems increasingly likely that Samsung’s next foldable innovation will reach global audiences, including the U.S. and Europe.
What else we know so far?
According to leaked videos and renders online, the company’s first tri-fold smartphone adopts a dual-hinge inward-folding design, forming a subtle G-shape when closed. This configuration is expected to protect the inner flexible screens, unlike the outward-folding designs seen in Huawei’s smartphone.
When fully opened, the device expands to a massive ~10-inch display, blurring the line between smartphone and tablet. The build is reportedly carved out of titanium and aluminum alloys, balancing durability with premium aesthetics. Even in its folded state, the upcoming Samsung’s device doesn’t look clunky. It maintains a book-like profile, with the outer cover display functioning as a conventional smartphone screen.
Early leaks suggest a Snapdragon flagship chipset, 16GB RAM, and multiple battery modules (possibly three) to sustain its extended screen real estate.
Expected Launch and Price
Samsung is reportedly planning to produce between 50,000 and 100,000 units of the trifold phone and will launch it in limited countries. There is no official release information from Samsung yet. However, multiple insiders suggest that the company could offer the first public unveiling in 2026.
At a rumoured $2,800-$3,000, the Galaxy Z TriFold would cost roughly $1,000 more than the Galaxy Z Fold7’s launch price, making it Samsung’s most expensive phone ever.
