Another series of unauthorized TriFold animations reveals the phone’s strong emphasis on multitasking and additional features.
Samsung’s anticipated Galaxy Z TriFold has had further animations leak, demonstrating its multitasking capabilities on the primary display. It appears that users will have the ability to utilize apps as smaller floating windows and “continue” them when in use on the cover display. Additional animations highlight its Samsung DeX and Galaxy AI functionalities while browsing.
A significant Galaxy TriFold leak is circulating today (Sep 26), involving another batch of One UI animations. The animations were shared in a thread on X by TechHighest alongside Evowizz this morning. These animations usually illustrate the various functions and features users can look forward to on their phone or, in this case, the TriFold device. The informant’s initial selection pertains to the device’s purported capabilities for multitasking. A glance reveals its toggleable “continue apps on main screen” button found in Settings.
By enabling this feature, users can access an app while the device is folded (on its cover display) and then unfold their phone to find the app continuing in landscape mode, rather than portrait.
Conversely, there are leaked animations displaying the device’s splitscreen/dual-app functionality. The post suggests that the TriFold will allow users to layer two apps on top of each other on half of the screen. Users can drag and drop the apps from their respective windows to adjust their position. Additional quick actions reveal a tab at the top of the Galaxy TriFold in landscape orientation, which, when tapped, opens the app drawer.
This functionality is also indicated by a two-finger press-and-hold gesture from the left side of the internal display.
Another video claims that users can have their apps displayed as floating windows on the Galaxy TriFold. This truly gives the device the feel of holding a mini-laptop or perhaps even a tablet. Users can enlarge these floating windows or view them in full screen, and move them around as desired.
An unexpected feature: an impressive camera?
Samsung DeX was briefly referenced in this extensive leak by the informant, who demonstrated an animation of its PC connectivity. In the illustration, the larger display (the PC) adopts the aesthetic of the Galaxy TriFold with its background and navigation bar containing apps. It shows a cursor, suggesting that users can slide over to their TriFold, grab and drag an app onto their computer. It’s essentially what one would expect from Samsung DeX.
In landscape mode, the phone’s camera application was emphasized. While this isn’t entirely novel, given the existence of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, the informant highlights one significant feature: the addition of a 100x zoom button. Some other remaining animations brought attention to Samsung’s Galaxy AI, which is proving useful for users in need of webpage summaries and more. However, the two informants noted that users could detach this Galaxy AI sidebar that appears and utilize it as a floating window.
Furthermore, users engaged in a call (or making one) will notice a floating phone UI for the call itself. The UI resembles what you’d observe while calling on the cover display or even a standard phone, like the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Samsung’s unconventional decision
Earlier this month, there were claims that Samsung might diverge from tradition and launch its anticipated Galaxy Z TriFold this fall. The phone could debut simultaneously in the U.S. and South Korea during another Galaxy Unpacked event. The timing seems a bit unusual, as some rumors suggest it could be released late in September (with only a few days left in the month), while others indicate it may occur in October, aligning it with the launch of its Project Moohan/XR headset.
