Will Samsung Galaxy Z Tri-Fold launch with three batteries? Here’s what we know

Samsung is gearing up for its first-ever Galaxy Z Tri-Fold launch. A new patent filing suggests that the company’s long-rumoured tri-fold smartphone, potentially named the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold, is inching closer to launch.

The patent illustrations also reveal a design that outwardly resembles the Galaxy Z Fold 7, but with significant internal changes. Notably, the device could house three connected panels, each containing its own battery module. These batteries are reportedly linked via ribbon cables, increasing in size from one panel to the next, with the camera housing panel carrying the smallest battery due to space constraints, and the third panel holding the largest.
