Overview

  • A KIPRIS filing shows a tri‑panel layout with a separate battery in each segment labeled T1, T2 and T3, with the smallest cell under the rear cameras, the largest in the center panel and an intermediate cell behind the cover display.
  • The documents confirm the three‑cell architecture and two‑hinge construction but do not list battery capacities or charging speeds.
  • Patent images depict an especially thin profile when fully opened, reinforcing a tablet‑like use case for the unfolded device.
  • Industry reports, not confirmed by Samsung, point to an unveiling at the APEC gathering in Gyeongju between October 31 and November 1, followed by a limited initial release in select markets.
  • Leaked specifications, which remain unverified, suggest a roughly 10‑inch AMOLED when unfolded, Snapdragon 8 Elite, up to 16GB of RAM and a 200MP main camera.
