Samsung's upcoming One UI 8 update has revealed key details about the company's next-generation tri-fold smartphone, reportedly called the Galaxy G Fold or Multifold 7. Leaked animations and build files from the One UI 8 beta showcase a design featuring three rear panels and two inward-folding hinges, distinguishing it from previous foldable devices. This tri-fold phone design represents a notable evolution in Samsung's foldable lineup. Concurrently, the One UI 8 update introduces a global restriction on bootloader unlocking, a move that limits the ability of power users to install custom ROMs on Samsung devices. Previously limited to the US, this bootloader lock now affects devices worldwide, including the Galaxy series, marking a significant change in Samsung's software policy and impacting enthusiasts who customize their devices.
