Samsung Casually Hints Trifold Smartphone at Galaxy Unpacked Event 2025

If you watched Samsung’s recent Unpacked event, you might have caught a glimpse of a tri-fold smartphone shown during discussions about Android XR. Samsung doesn’t mention it expressly but just drops it in the background casually.

This subtle reveal has left fans wondering. It seems the rumors are true. Samsung is planning to release a tri-fold phone this year. According to multiple leaks and reports, Samsung is not only working on its first tri-fold smartphone but also planning to launch three other foldable devices in 2025. Here’s everything we know so far about Samsung’s tri-fold device and its foldable lineup for this year.

Samsung’s Tri-Fold Phone Leaks So Far

The long-rumored tri-fold smartphone from Samsung is finally expected to make its debut in 2025. Leaker Jukanlosreve, citing a report from Korean outlet The Elec, suggests that Samsung’s tri-fold phone will feature a dual-hinge design, allowing it to fold in two places. When fully unfolded, the display could measure between 9.9 inches and 10 inches, significantly larger than the Galaxy Z Fold’s 7.6-inch inner screen. This positions the tri-fold as a hybrid device, offering both smartphone and tablet functionality.

Production of the first trifold phone from Samsung is rumored to begin in Q2 2025, with a launch expected in Q3 2025 during Samsung’s usual late-summer Unpacked event. However, Samsung reportedly plans to produce only 200,000 units of the tri-fold device initially, signaling a cautious approach. They want to test the market demand for this bold new form factor.

The trifold’s design could take inspiration from Samsung’s concept devices, featuring a G-shaped folding mechanism that folds inward twice for enhanced durability and compactness.

Samsung Will Launch 4 Galaxy Foldable Phones in 2025

In addition to its tri-fold phone, Samsung is planning to release four foldable devices this year:

  1. Galaxy Z Flip 7: The next iteration of Samsung’s popular clamshell foldable is expected to feature design refinements making it slimmer and more durable.
  2. Galaxy Z Fold 7: Rumors suggest Z Fold 7 might drop the S Pen to make it thinner, potentially requiring a separate, rechargeable stylus. This move could polarize fans who enjoy the integrated S Pen experience.
  3. Galaxy Z Flip FE: A more affordable flip-style foldable aimed at competing with budget-friendly foldables from brands like Motorola. This could bring foldable phones to a wider audience.
  4. Tri-Fold Device: Samsung’s highlight for 2025 is expected to be a flagship trifold phone with high-end specs and dual hinges.

Samsung’s Answer to Huawei

Samsung’s tri-fold phone isn’t just about innovation—it’s also about catching up to Huawei. In 2024, Huawei beat Samsung to the punch by launching the Mate XT, the world’s first tri-fold smartphone. With a CNY 19,999 (roughly $2,900) price tag and limited availability in China, the Mate XT showcased impressive engineering and received a positive response. Its success proved there is a market for tri-fold devices, albeit a niche one.

One UI 7 on Samsung Galaxy S25 Will ‘Upscale’ Your Gaming Experience

Samsung’s One UI 7 will bring an AI-powered Game Assist feature. It promises to enhance the gaming experience to a new level for the Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered Galaxy S25 series. But how?

A screenshot of the new Game Assist feature was shared by @Jukanlosreve on X talking about Samsung’s frame interpolation and upscaling tech. It shows the Game Assist feature as being optional which means that we can turn it on and off. It is not clear if the feature will be enabled by default or not.

The new AI Game Assist feature will improve gaming performance reportedly using Qualcomm’s AFME (Adreno Frame Motion Engine) 2.0 Integration. It will upscale the supported games from 60Hz to 120Hz offering a better gameplay experience. But even budget Android phones come with 120Hz display so how does it work?

See, the display refresh rate and in-game FPS are two separate metrics. Also, not all mobile games are built to play at 120Hz. Come One UI 7 update, your Samsung Galaxy phone will upscale supported games from 60Hz to 120Hz providing a smooth experience. This should also end in better battery life but we will have to wait for our in-house battery tests when the S25 releases.

How Does It Work?

Snapdragon 8 Elite comes integrated with Qualcomm’s AFME 2.0 which is a part of Qualcomm’s suite of graphics and performance enhancements. It provides several key benefits:

  • AFME 2.0 boosts the game’s frame rates by offering smoother visuals for an enhanced gaming experience.
  • Using frame duplication, it will double the number of frames per second thereby improving the frame rate and graphics but without consuming additional resources.
  • It also enhances the graphics rendering process so that the games look better on the screen.
  • Lastly, it improves the power efficiency by controlling the excessive battery drain issue resulting in better battery life.

When is the Launch?

The feature is still under development. We can expect it to launch in January next year with One UI 7 with several new features. While Game Assist may not be available immediately but can be expected to be launched in future updates.

Samsung Galaxy: How to Enable Full-Screen Caller Photo

I’ve always loved the full-screen photo caller ID feature for incoming calls. It just adds a nice personal touch. Seeing only a name and a tiny little profile picture on the screen is boring. Fortunately, Samsung Galaxy phones can now display a full-screen photo of the caller natively so no 3rd party apps or workarounds are required.

If you’re using a Samsung Galaxy phone with One UI 6.1, you can enable full-screen caller images natively. It is easy to check which Android and OneUI version you are using. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Open the Phone app on your Samsung Galaxy and open the contact for which you want to set a full-screen caller image.
  2. Tap Edit and then hit the Create profile card button at the top left.
  3. Select a photo from the Gallery app. You’ll then see some fun customization options, like adding text or effects to your contact image.
  4. Once you’re finished with editing, tap Done.

As you can see in the screenshot below, when I receive a call from my friend, his photo appears full-screen on my Samsung Galaxy phone.

As for the customization options, they’re pretty cool. You can change the font style, size, and colors in the text section. In the effects section, you can blur the photo, add a greyscale background, or try out effects like pastel and oil paint, and then in the Portrait Studio you can turn the photo into a different art style for your contact image.

That’s all for now! I hope this quick guide helps you set up full-screen caller photos on your Galaxy phone. Since not many people seem to know about this feature, don’t forget to share it with your friends and family who also use Samsung Galaxy phones!

Samung Wallet to Allow Galaxy Users Send Money With a Simple Tap

Samsung Wallet is taking another step forward in mobile payments. Samsung has announced a new feature that is rolling out that makes transferring money between Galaxy phones as easy as a tap. Tap Transfer is debuting in South Korea but should soon expand to other countries.

How Does ‘Tap Transfer’ Work?

Galaxy smartphone users can send and receive money by tapping their phones together. Yes, it will remind you of Apple’s NameDrop and Tap to Cash feature. It uses NFC (Near Field Communication), the same technology behind contactless payments. Update to the latest version to get it.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Open the Samsung Wallet app and link your bank account.
  2. Enter the amount you want to send, and tap your phone against the other person’s phone.
  3. The transfer will happen once you verify your identity through a fingerprint or other biometrics.

Right now, Woori Bank is the first to support this feature, but Samsung has plans to bring more banks on board soon, making it easier for more users to benefit from the feature.

Enhanced Privacy and Convenience

Samsung has paid attention to privacy while developing Tap Transfer. Both the sender’s and receiver’s phone numbers are encrypted. Moreover, only the last four digits of the recipient’s number will be visible to the sender.

You can set up Samsung Wallet to accept cash transfers even when your phone is locked. So no need to unlock your phone every time someone sends you money.

Why ‘Tap Transfer’ Could Be a Game-Changer

A Samsung official says this feature is perfect for everyday money exchanges, such as sending money to friends or families. Samsung is also planning to add more features to its Wallet app like ATM deposits, withdrawals, and additional account management options.

Samsung Wallet: More Than Just Payments

Samsung Wallet already lets you store your credit cards, boarding passes, digital keys, and more. And with Tap Transfer, soon Galaxy users will have an easy way to send money with just a tap. What are your thoughts on this new feature? Let us know on X (formerly Twitter).

Microsoft Phone Link’s Instant Hotspot Expands to More Android Phones

The Instant Hotspot feature first popped up in the Phone Link app back in October 2022. It lets you connect your Windows PC to the internet by turning your phone into a mobile hotspot without touching your phone. No need to manually turn on the hotspot or enter a password either. Initially, it was exclusive to Samsung running One UI 4.1.1 or later. But now, it’s starting to roll out to other smartphone brands like Oppo and OnePlus and should be available to all Android phones soon.

According to Android Authority, to get Instant Hotspot up and running, you might need to have Windows 11 and Windows Service app (version 2.24014.5.35.0 or later) on your phone. It is mainly supported on newer phones from brands like OnePlus, such as the OnePlus 12 and OnePlus Open. But, if you’re rocking an older model like the OnePlus 10 Pro, you might be out of luck – there’s no Instant Hotspot support because it’s still running Link to Windows Service version 2.23103.5.18.0.

Tip: Do you have people using your Wi-Fi network? Here’s how to see what people are doing on your Wi-Fi

Now, you might be wondering why it took Microsoft so long to bring this feature to other Android brands and why it’s still not available on all Android phones. The deal is that Android only allows system apps to start a mobile hotspot. So, the Windows Service app needs to be preinstalled by the phone manufacturer for Instant Hotspot to work. Since Samsung bundles Microsoft’s Link to Windows Service app with One UI, their users have enjoyed this feature for a while now.

So, make sure to check if your smartphone brand supports the Link to Windows Service app. And just a heads up – you won’t get this update through the Play Store. It requires an OTA update from the OEM.

How to Use Instant Hotspot on Phone Link

If your phone supports Instant Hotspot, setting it up is a breeze. Here’s how:

  1. Open the Phone Link app on your PC.
  2. Head to Settings > Features and flip on the Instant Hotspot toggle.
  3. Click the Send Notification button when it asks for permission to show hotspot settings on your Android phone.
  4. On your phone, give all the necessary permissions it asks for.

Note: Be sure to enable the Instant Hotspot feature in the Link to Windows app on your Android phone. You can find this option in the app’s settings.

Once you’re done setting up, you’ll start seeing your phone’s name in the Wi-Fi network list in the Action Center. Just click Connect, and your phone’s hotspot will turn on and connect automatically. Easy peasy!

And that’s it, folks.

Samsung One UI 7: Leaked Features, Eligible Devices and Release Date

Get ready for One UI 7. It’s going to be Samsung’s biggest update yet, kind of like what Apple did with iOS 18 and Nothing with their new OS 3.0. This update is based on the latest Android 15 and comes with a bunch of cool new features and a fresh look. I’ll tell you more about those in a bit. Oh, and I’ll also let you know when it’s coming out and which phones will get it.

One UI 7: Release Date Confirmed

One UI 7’s beta testing was supposed to kick off in August but was ultimately delayed. Earlier in October, at its annual developer conference, Samsung announced that a stable One UI 7 build will launch alongside the Galaxy S25 series in early 2025, with a beta version arriving later this year.

While everyone expected it to arrive in October 2024, One UI 7 will now be released in January 2025 at Samsung’s annual Unpacked event. However, the betas may arrive before the end of this year.

One UI 7: Supported Devices

Samsung will be rolling out the One UI 7 update to a wide range of Galaxy devices, including recent models in the S, Z, A, F, and M series. This includes the Galaxy S24, S23, S22, and S21 series; all recent Galaxy Z Fold and Flip devices; and popular A series models like the Galaxy A55, A54, A73, and A72. The update will also extend to recent Galaxy tablets.

You can find a complete list of One UI 7 supported devices here.

One UI 7: Features (Based on Leaks and Rumors)

Here are all the features you can expect in One UI 7. Some of these are based on leaks and rumors, while others have been spotted on a Galaxy S24 Ultra running an early version of the software.

1. iOS-Inspired Notification Panel

Folks at Sammobile got their hands on a Galaxy S24 Ultra running One UI 7 at the Samsung Developer Conference, revealing an iPhone-inspired design for the notification panel. Each notification appears with rounded corners, and the panel retains the background blur effect from the current One UI version.

Previously, one swipe revealed the notification panel and another revealed quick settings. However, Samsung now seems to be adopting Apple’s approach: swiping down from the top left opens a dedicated notification shade while swiping from the top right opens the quick settings panel.

Rumors suggest you’ll have an option to retain the current single-page layout or switch to a two-page layout.

2. New Quick Settings Panel

The Quick Settings panel is getting a revamp with One UI 7. It will feature more rounded, pill-shaped elements, and two separate sliders: one for display brightness and the other for media volume. You no longer need to fiddle around the physical buttons to adjust the volume.

WiFi and Bluetooth controls are prominently positioned at the top, followed by the rest right below. The new panel may seem polarizing to some, but I’m sure there will be plenty of options to customize it with Good Lock.

3. New One UI 7 Icons

Yes, One UI 7 is bringing freshly designed icons for system apps to your Samsung Galaxy phone. The only caveat is they look heavily inspired by iOS.

The new icons are more rounded and use different color shades across the board. They look modern and are easy to differentiate. Check out the new icons for Settings, Camera, Samsung Internet, Contacts, Weather, Phone, Clock, and Themes apps below.

4. Dark Theme for App Icons

It’s rumored that One UI 7 will also let you enable a dark theme for app icons, just like iOS 18. All icons will take on a darker undertone when you switch to dark mode. There could be an automatic setting that changes icons to light or dark based on your phone’s system-wide dark mode settings.

5. Smoother, Customizable Animations

According to leaks, One UI 7 is coming with an animation overhaul—expect smoother, denser, and more responsive animations throughout the UI. This includes new notification pop-up and closing animations, as well as updated button touch and page return animations.

Samsung will also let users customize animations with the Good Lock app. You’ll be able to choose different animation presets, such as ‘Pixel by Pixel’ and ‘The Scent of a Fruit’ (yes, that’s a pun on Apple). There will also be manual settings, including simple options to adjust animation speed or an advanced mode.

In advanced settings, you can fine-tune all animation options, including duration, blur, curve, and more. This is significant and something we haven’t seen yet on any mainstream smartphone.

6. Vertical App Drawer

Almost every Android manufacturer had moved on to a vertical app drawer except One UI. Users have been requesting Samsung for a long time to allow it, as it lets you find and access apps quickly instead of swiping through different pages. This feature will finally arrive with One UI 7.

However, it will likely be available through the Home Up module in the Good Lock app, not the default system settings. Once enabled, you can swipe up from the bottom of the screen to access the list of apps on your phone. There will also be a search bar at the bottom to make it easier to search for apps.

7. Live Activities on Lock Screen

Apple’s Live Activities have always been a feature I found useful, and it seems Samsung will be adding something similar to the One UI 7 lock screen.

With this feature, you can see real-time progress for ongoing tasks, like your Uber ride or food delivery, directly on your phone’s lock screen. Tapping it will reveal more information. Samsung will be calling it the Control Area.

8. Welcome Pill (Dynamic Island Style Notifications)

Welcome Pill (or Dynamic Island) is another feature that One UI 7 seems to have taken from iOS. It appears as a small pill-shaped notification on the top left side of the status bar. Tap it to expand the pill. OnePlus has already introduced a similar feature in Oxygen OS 14.

9. Pill-Shape Battery Icon

The battery icon is a horizontal rectangular bar on One UI 6. With One UI 7, it will change to a more rounded pill-shaped icon with the battery percentage displayed inside. This change complements the overall trend towards rounder, more modern design elements.

10. New Widgets

You’ll also see new widgets for the home screen and lock screen. Currently, we only have a limited set of widgets that can be added to the lock screen, but you can expect that number to increase.

Additionally, you’d be able to resize them. A Twitter tipster, Ice Universe, recently mentioned that One UI 7 will have “incomparably rich widgets, more than any other OS.”

New Widgets on One UI 7

An user on X (Twitter), @BennettBuhner, posted a concept of what the lock screen might look like with this new design.

11. Bold View for Apps

On iOS 18, Apple added a feature where you could opt for large icons on the home screen without any app labels. Samsung is adopting the same feature under the Bold View moniker. Turn it on to see bigger icons and widgets without any name labels.

This isn’t the default setting, however. You’ll have both options: Classic (default) and Bold, and you can switch between the two at any time.

Classic and Bold View Styles on One UI 7

12. Finally, an App Lock

One UI 7 will finally bring the App Lock feature to your Galaxy phone. Previously, you had to either use Secure Folder or rely on third-party app locks, but now it will be available by default. You’ll be able to lock apps using biometrics, a PIN, pattern, or password.

Notably, Android 15 has a Private Space feature that provides a separate area to keep sensitive apps and data away from prying eyes. However, since Samsung already has Secure Folder and an option to hide apps, I don’t think they’ll adopt this feature.

13. Continuity Notifications

Samsung has been building its own ecosystem and it works pretty well. It’s one of the closest things to Apple’s ecosystem in the Android world, whether it’s Galaxy Tab and phone integration or Galaxy Book and Galaxy phone pairing.

With One UI 7, that gap might close even further. New continuity notifications will allow you to receive the same notifications, calls, and video calls on all your Galaxy smartphones and devices signed in to the same account.

14. New Camera UI

One UI 7 won’t just change the camera icon; it will also redesign the Camera app’s user interface. All controls and options will be moved to the bottom, with options to toggle the flash, access settings, adjust the aspect ratio, resolution, and more positioned right above the shutter button.

The Camera app is now more in line with the interface on Google Pixel devices, providing a UI that is easier to reach and use with one hand.

15. Galaxy Avatar

One UI 7 was recently spotted featuring a Galaxy Avatar in the Advanced Features menu. It looks like Samsung is replacing its AR emojis with this. This feature includes options for Avatar Stickers, an Avatar Camera, and the ability to create custom outfits for your avatars.

It syncs with Samsung Cloud, making it accessible across your Samsung devices.

16. An AI-Powered Bixby (Maybe)

Both Apple, with its AI-enhanced Siri, and Google, with its new Gemini Assistant, have moved beyond traditional voice assistants. These new AI-powered assistants utilize large language models to understand more context, engage in real-time conversations, and perform a wider range of tasks, such as generating content, translating languages, and providing summaries.

We’re expecting Samsung to add similar LLM capabilities to Bixby, especially if they have long-term plans for it and aren’t planning to discontinue it anytime soon.

17. New Gallery and Phone App

Samsung is also working on brand-new Gallery and Phone apps. The Gallery app, as seen in the video, features bottom menu icons for Pictures, Albums, Settings, and a dedicated Search section, similar to Google Photos.

We only have a glimpse of the Phone app, which is still a work in progress. It shows a redesigned interface with icons for keypad, recent, and contacts, and a repositioned search button and menu for improved reachability.

18. Support for 5G Messaging

One UI 7 will reportedly add support for 5G SMS messages, that represent the next generation of SMS and MMS. Think of it as iMessage for Android, allowing you to share high-quality photos and videos, send large files, and enjoy features like reading receipts, typing indicators, reacting to messages with emojis, and more.

Other Leaks About the One UI 7

UI Responsiveness: One UI 7.0 (and the subsequent One UI 7.1) will provide enhanced smoothness, overall responsiveness, and animation stability compared to One UI 6.

It will arrive first on these devices: One UI 7 is expected to launch initially on a select set of Galaxy S and Z-series smartphones, as well as the Galaxy A53, A54, and A55.

One UI 7 introduces several new options: it allows you to customize bottom gesture sensitivity, tune home gesture animations, create large folders on the home screen, use pop-up folders, and more.

App Icons Are Getting a Refresh: Samsung is working to further enhance the One UI 7 icons based on user feedback received online.

That’s all from our end. Before you go, make sure to bookmark this page, as we will keep updating it with more leaks about One UI 7 as and when they go live.

7 Galaxy Watch Features You Lose on Non-Samsung Phones

If you are considering buying a Samsung Galaxy Watch without a Samsung Galaxy phone, here is a list of all features you will miss out on. Make informed decision.

FeatureWorks with Samsung PhonesWorks with Non-Samsung Phones
Notifications
Calls
Messages
Music Control
Camera Controls
Fitness and Activity Tracking
Heart Rate Monitoring
Stress Tracking
Sleep Tracking
ECG
Blood Pressure Monitoring
Blood Oxygen Tracking
GPS
LTE
Samsung Pay and NFC Payments
Third-Party App Support
Do Not Disturb and Other Modes Sync
Reminders Sync
Automation With Routines
Customize AR Emoji Watch Faces
Device Diagnostics

1. No Access to ECG and Blood Pressure Monitoring

Samsung Watch have ECG and blood pressure monitoring features. However, both are accessible only through the Samsung Health Monitor app, which is exclusive to Samsung Galaxy phones. If you use a non-Samsung phone, the watch will not track health metrics and ask you to get a Samsung phone.

You may install a modified Health Monitor app on any Android phone to use ECG and blood pressure monitoring but at your own risk. This workaround also enables blood pressure monitoring in countries like the US where it is otherwise unavailable pending FDA approval.

2. Missing Camera Controls

The Camera Controller app is installed on the watch by default when you pair a Samsung Watch with a Samsung Galaxy phone. It allows you to preview the camera feed, take photos, record videos, and check the results directly from the watch.

However, this feature is only available with Samsung phones. While there are third-party apps or GCam controllers, they are not as seamless or lag-free as the Camera Controller provided by Samsung.

3. No Automatic Sync for DND and Other Modes

Samsung offers different modes like Do Not Disturb (DND), Sleep, Theater, and Relax on both their watches and phones. These modes sync automatically between devices. However, this synchronization does not work with other Android phones.

To avoid distractions on non-Samsung devices, you must manually set the DND mode on both your watch and phone each time. There is no workaround to replicate this feature on non-Samsung phones.

4. Reminders Do Not Sync

Samsung Galaxy phones and watches come with a Reminder app. If you have a Samsung phone, reminders set on the phone will sync with your watch and vice versa so you will get notifications there and view event details. However, Reminder is not available on non-Samsung phones and cannot be sideloaded. You must set reminders directly on the watch or use a third-party app.

Google Keep can be an alternative, but its reminders are just notifications, whereas the Samsung Reminder app alerts take up the full screen, similar to receiving a call showing more details and act more like an interactive widget.

5. Don’t Have Access to Automation Routines

Routines on Samsung Galaxy phones can automate tasks like enabling Do Not Disturb mode when you reach office, turning off hall lights using SmartThings at 11 PM in night, etc. Similarly, you can set automations that involve your watch, like changing the watch face based on time or start an activity based on location. This feature is primarily a Samsung phone feature with the watch adding an extra layer. Other Android phones cannot access this feature and there are no third-party alternatives that can automate with your Samsung watch functions.

6. Cannot Create a Personalized AR Emoji Watch Face

A popular watch face on the Galaxy Watch is Samsung’s own AR Emoji watch face. It uses your animated version as a watch face that will move or show an animation when you get a notification or playing music.

If you have a non-Samsung phone, you can still use AR Emoji, but you’ll need to choose from available characters. Creating a personalized AR Emoji is limited to Samsung phones, so non-Samsung users cannot set a custom AR Emoji as their watch face.

7. You Lose Ability to Diagnose Your Watch

You need the Samsung Members app on your phone to diagnose Samsung Watch. For example, to test the battery status or whether your watch’s display, buttons, mic, or speakers are working fine. This app is only available on Samsung and cannot be sideloaded on other Android phones. There is no other way to diagnose your Watch.

Apart from these, all the remaining features work on a non-Samsung phone just like how they work when paired with a Samsung phone.

One UI 7 Redesigned Camera App Leak Shows One-Hand Support

Android 15 is around the corner. Samsung, which develops and packages the One UI skin above is taking shape too. As per reports and leaks so far, it seems that One UI 7 will receive a major overhaul with some new features and completely redesigned app interfaces.

Note: One UI 7 is expected to be unveiled sometime around the end of July or August. This is based on the release cycle that Samsung usually follows for previous One UI releases.

An X (formerly Twitter) user by the name Chunvn8888 has leaked what appears to be the UI of the Camera app. The alleged leaks suggest that the focus is on users who are trying to take selfies or photos with just one hand. All the settings and buttons have been moved to the bottom of the screen from the top making them easier to reach using the thumb.

Since there are too many options and settings to choose from, a More button hides the remaining options so that they do not end up taking up the entire screen. The only icon or button that still sits atop is the flashlight. Do you often toggle the flashlight between on/off/auto?

Another thing to note is the iconography. The buttons are rounded but not just that. Even the Camera app icon has changed and now looks something like this:

The redesigned Camera app icon aligns with a previous leak where the Gallery app icon was leaked by the same user. It now looks a lot more like iOS’s Gallery app icon more than anything else. But this is not the first time Samsung has copied Apple. The latest Galaxy Watch Ultra has borrowed quite a bit from Apple.

Did you notice the tiny red dot in the Camera app icon? Maybe it indicates that the Camera app is on and in use. It reminds me of the red dot feature in Nothing smartphones. But instead of a physical red light at the back, Samsung seems to have adopted a more subtle look with a red dot inside the app icon. While nothing is confirmed yet, it can be useful for users to forget to stop the video recording by mistake. Camera apps can be major resource hoggers.

Some Samsung Galaxy users may not take a liking to the new icons but they are easy to change using icon packs. It is the UI that we need to pay attention to. While these changes look real, remember that these are from early builds and the beta version hasn’t even shipped yet. Beta and subsequently stable builds usually come around September and October.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Colors: Which One Should You Buy?

In the Galaxy Unpacked event, we got to see many amazing new Galaxy AI features along with exciting launches like the Galaxy Z Flip 6, Fold 6, Galaxy Buds series, Watch series, and the much-anticipated Galaxy Ring. Out of all these, if you’re planning to snag the new Galaxy Z Fold 6, you might be torn on which color to choose. So, let’s dive into the available colors and find out which one suits your style best.

  • Navy
  • Silver Shadow
  • Crafted Black
  • White
  • Pink

If you have a change of heart and decide to go for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 instead, check out this guide for choosing the perfect color.

Note: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 in Crafted Black and White are exclusive to Samsung website.

Navy

Navy is the color to go for a phone that’s bold yet classy. This deep blue shade is striking and sophisticated, perfect for any occasion. It’s got a cool, calm vibe for everyday use, and it stands out just enough to get noticed without being too flashy. Honestly, we’ve fallen in love with this color, and we’re sure you will too once you see it in person.

Silver Shadow

For those who love a classic, understated look, Silver Shadow is ideal. The muted grayish tone gives the Galaxy Z Fold 6 a professional vibe that’s perfect for any setting. It’s versatile enough to match any outfit or accessory and a great choice if you like to keep things simple yet stylish. Plus, it pairs wonderfully with other silver, gray, or black color gadgets.

Crafted Black

This was my top pick for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 until Navy stole my heart for the Z Fold 6. Crafted Black isn’t just any black – it has a carbon fiber-like finish that gives it a premium feel. One thing’s for sure, your Crafted Black Z Fold 6 will look way more appealing than the Phantom Black on the Z Fold 5.

White

White is a timeless color that never goes out of style. It’s clean, crisp, and goes with everything. Whether you’re at a business meeting or a casual outing, the White Galaxy Z Fold 6 looks effortlessly chic. However, keep in mind this color is pretty common, so it might not stand out as much. It is basically for those who prefer to play it safe.

Pink

Feeling bored of the usual black and white? Pink might be your pick! It’s not too vibrant – more like a creamy white with a hint of pink. Plus, the light hues mean fewer visible fingerprints and smudges. And if you’re into matching your gadgets with accessories, pink pairs beautifully with rose gold.

Tips for Choosing Your Perfect Color

Picking the right color for your Galaxy Z Fold 6 isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about finding one that fits your personality and lifestyle. Here are a few tips to help you make the best choice:

  • If you’re using a case cover, pick a color that goes well with it. White, Navy, and Silver Shadow is pretty versatile and matches with any type of phone case, while distinctive colors like Crafted Black and Pink will look awesome with a clear case.
  • If you upgrade your phone often, choose a trendy color that stands out. This will also let others know you’ve got the latest model. But if you plan to keep your phone for a while, stick with a color you’ve always liked.
  • Choose a color that vibes with your other gadgets. If you have a cream Galaxy Watch 7, the White Galaxy Z Fold 6 would be perfect. And if you already have a gray Galaxy Book 4 laptop, the Crafted Black Galaxy Z Flop 6 will look amazing with it. Keeping your devices coordinated makes them look great together and shows off your attention to detail and style.

No matter which color you choose, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is sure to turn heads and keep you at the forefront of tech trends.
