Samsung, at its last Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event, made it clear that it does have plans to launch a multi-fold device in the near future. With Huawei already in the lead, everyone expects Samsung, the only smartphone brand to mass-produce foldable smartphones globally, to launch something similar or better. Post the reports that such a device will launch alongside the next Galaxy Z Fold series of devices. Currently rumoured to be called the Galaxy G Fold, there's now new details about its model number and more importantly, market availability.

According to SmartPrix, who unearthed the model numbers from the GSM Association database, this tri-fold device from Samsung will be launched in six to seven months, which suggests a fall launch event. The source claims that Samsung always s its devices on the GSMA database and that it has managed to pinpoint these models despite Samsung disguising their model numbers with in-house codenames.

Samsung's Galaxy G Fold models reportedly have been spotted with two model numbers – SM-F968N and SM-F9680. As per Samsung's naming tradition, the device's code is basically F968 with the last letter signifying the market it is (or will be) launched in.

SmartPrix states that the ‘N' in SM-F968N, indicates that this model will be launched in Samsung's home-market South Korea. Meanwhile the ‘O' in SM-F9680, hints at the China market. The report also states that Samsung will launch this tri-fold device with the Fold moniker, versus the W moniker used for earlier foldable models launched in China.

As for the launch timeline, the source states that Samsung typically launches its products about six to seven months after its GSMA registration, and so this model which has been given the market name Q7M, is expected to see a launch around October this year. While it is a bit disappointing to see Samsung launching such a device in just two markets, it is indeed good to see some competition in the tri-foldables space. And it's high-time Samsung decided to the tri-fold space as Huawei recently took its global.
