• New Korean reporting now indicates the reveal may slip into October with sales targeted for November, citing a desire not to pull focus from the well-selling Galaxy Z Fold7.
• Animations found in One UI 8 suggest tri-fold–specific support for NFC payments plus wireless and reverse wireless charging.
• Design leaks describe an inward-folding, dual-hinge approach intended to protect the main display and bolster dust resistance and hinge longevity.
• Pricing and supply chatter points to a tag above 4 million KRW (about $2,930) and an initial run near 50,000 units, with Huawei’s new Mate XTs already on sale as a direct rival.
