Samsung’s first TriFold device, which unfolds twice to reveal a 10-inch main screen, is far from a concept at this point. Samsung has already teased the Galaxy Z TriFold at a recent event in South Korea. The Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold is slated to come to the US, though the phone is expected to have a limited release outside of the make’s home market. It looks like the company is making the necessary preparations to bring the Galaxy Z TriFold stateside, like firmware testing for US models.
According to SamMobile , Samsung is currently testing system software for another Galaxy Z TriFold model and it revealed firmware testing for the carrier-locked variant of the Galaxy Z TriFold that has a SM-F968U model number.
The Galaxy Z TriFold with model number SM-F968U1 is undergoing firmware testing. This version will be sold directly from Samsung and its retail partners. The report confirms that Samsung plans to sell the phone in the U.S. both through retail channels and cellular carriers.
Carrying out the firmware testing seems rather late considering that Samsung plans to launch the new phone model in less than a month. At least we’re clear on one thing — the Galaxy Z Trifold will get a US release.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold will sport a 6.5-inch outer screen and a 10-inch main screen. It offers a cover display of 2,600-nit peak brightness rating. The processor is expected to be either the last-gen Snapdragon 8 Elite or the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Rumours claim the TriFold will launch on December 5. If that’s the case, we will be expecting more details about specs and pricing, but it will definitely cost a great deal.

OnePlus revealed the latest top-tier phone, the OnePlus 15 , a few days back. For some years now, the company’s flagships come with less premium but more value-for-money flagship killers, denoted by an “R” suffix. OnePlus stated the phone, OnePlus 15R, would be coming soon, thereby raising the expectations for a launch soon.
The UK and India websites of the company have started showcasing the shape of the upcoming phone, the OnePlus 15R. The phone is available in two colours: dark grey and metallic green. Much about the phone or its design hasn’t been revealed, though the looks and design of the OnePlus Ace 6, which launched in China last month, can be seen.
According to the teaser, the design of the OnePlus Ace 6 is clear and gives more confidence in the assumption that the OnePlus Ace 5, the Ace 6 predecessor, was rebranded as the OnePlus 13R for global markets. From the features of the Ace 6 and earlier standards of using the previous year’s flagship chip, we can expect the OnePlus 15R to be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, with RAM and storage options similar to the OnePlus 15. It will still have a 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED screen with a 165Hz refresh rate, just like the premium model. The Ace 6 also replaces the optical scanner on the Ace 5 display with an ultrasonic fingerprint one.
The Chinese variant packs a huge 7,800mAh battery with 120W charging support. It’s not clear if the global variant will have similar features. The camera is one area the OnePlus Ace 6 appears to be significantly downgraded. The Ace 6 drops the 2x telephoto from the Ace 5 or OnePlus 13R, but maintains the same 50MP primary and 8MP ultrawide angle cameras the series has relied on since the 12R.
A new watch was released alongside the OnePlus 15R. This watch could be another rebrand, as it has a similar design to the OnePlus Watch 3 and claims of battery life with a 10-day backup. The extended backup is a result of the Watch S using a custom OS instead of Google’s Wear OS platform. This may be due to OnePlus’ current efforts with updating its existing watches to the latest Wear OS edition.
The OnePlus 15R will get to India before the end of 2025, accompanied by the new watch. Neither gadget is mentioned on the OnePlus US website, so the launch here might be delayed. The current delay of the OnePlus 15 also contributes to this.
