Hope dies last. Six model variants of the first double-foldable Galaxy Z TriFold were discovered in a recent certification round, two of which could also be intended for a European launch, but probably not until 2026.
On the last day of October, Samsung unveiled its first dual-folding tablet to the world at the APEC summit, albeit behind glass and with very limited access. High-resolution images or even details of the trifoldable are still unavailable. It also remains unclear when and where Samsung’s trifoldable, potentially named Galaxy Z TriFold or Galaxy G Fold, will actually launch and become available.
Recently, however, the Samsung foldable with the internal code Q7M can now be found on the Bluetooth SIG website in a total of six model variants, as the screenshot below shows. As leakers have repeatedly indicated, the launch will extend far beyond a purely Korean and Chinese release. The model numbers SM-D639N and SM-D6390 are likely intended for the two Asian markets, while the SM-D639U and SM-D639Ui models are destined for the US market. That leaves the SM-D639B and SM-D639B/SD models, which, as “international” model variants, could also mean Europe.
Whether Samsung’s trifoldable will indeed receive an official European launch remains uncertain. Only a launch in the United Arab Emirates has been confirmed to date, where the two models as well. Taiwan and Singapore have are also rumoured to be on the launch schedule, but there has been no mention of an EU launch anywhere. During the announcement of Samsung’s latest quarterly figures, new foldable form factors were mentioned for 2026, so a launch this year is probably out of the question.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
