Samsung’s next big experiment in foldable tech is confirmed for a Q3 launch, and the date may be closer than expected. Fresh leaks now suggest the company is adding features that could make the device more practical than its prototype predecessors.

Wireless charging, reverse charging, and NFC

Tipster @TechHighest shared three animations on X that appear to come from Samsung’s One UI 8 software. The clips highlight key functions of the upcoming tri-folding device, including wireless charging, reverse wireless charging, and NFC payments.

One animation shows the TriFold resting on a wireless charging pad, with charging coils located on the rightmost panel when folded. Another demonstrates reverse wireless charging, allowing the phone to top up accessories like earbuds. The third clip confirms NFC payments will work even when the phone is fully unfolded.

The TriFold is expected to use a triple-fold design with two inward hinges forming a “G” shape, similar to Samsung’s Flex G concept shown at MWC 2025. Leaks point to a 10.1-inch inner display, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, and a 200MP main camera. On the software side, One UI 8 may introduce a new “Split Trio” mode for multitasking across the large screen.

Pricing hasn’t been confirmed, but early estimates put it between $3,000 and $3,499. Samsung could share more at its IFA 2025 press event on September 4.

If the leaks are accurate, the Galaxy Z TriFold will mark Samsung’s boldest move yet in foldable technology. By combining wireless charging, reverse charging, and NFC with a slim tri-fold form factor, it could offer a mix of innovation and everyday convenience. Positioned against rivals like Huawei’s Mate XTs, the device might reshape what a foldable can do for power users and early adopters.
