Samsung Unveils Galaxy Z TriFold, Featuring a 10-Inch Foldable Display and a Premium Price Tag
Samsung has officially launched the Galaxy Z TriFold — its first-ever smartphone that folds not once, but twice — offering a massive 10‑inch inner screen while still managing to stay pocketable,according to Ars Technica.
When folded, the device shows a 6.5‑inch cover display. Once unfolded, the main display expands to 10 inches (with a resolution of 2160 × 1584 pixels), giving users a tablet‑like canvas. The foldable AMOLED panel supports a 120 Hz adaptive refresh rate and delivers strong brightness for vivid visuals.
Under the hood, the TriFold packs serious hardware: a Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, 16 GB RAM, and at least 512 GB storage in the base variant. Its rear camera setup mirrors high‑end Galaxy phones: a 200 MP main sensor, plus a 12 MP ultrawide and a 10 MP telephoto lens with 3× optical zoom. For selfies, there are 10 MP front cameras on both the cover and main screens.
Battery life is supported by a three‑cell 5,600 mAh system — reportedly the largest battery Samsung has put in a foldable — with 45 W wired and 15 W wireless charging.
One of the standout features is multitasking: the large screen can display three portrait‑oriented apps side by side. The phone also supports standalone Samsung DeX mode — users can run multiple workspaces and apps simultaneously and even connect an external display, keyboard and mouse for a PC‑like experience.
On the design front, Samsung refined its hinge mechanism — using a dual-rail, twin-hinge structure (dubbed “Armor FlexHinge”) — to ensure the folding action remains smooth and durable, even with the added complexity of a tri-fold device.
As for pricing and launch: the 512 GB model is priced in South Korea at KRW 3,590,400 — roughly around US $2,500. The first units hit the Korean market December 12, 2025. Other regions, including the U.S., are expected to get the device in early 2026.
With the Galaxy Z TriFold, Samsung seems to be targeting users who want a single device that can act as smartphone, tablet, and even laptop — a bold bet on the future of foldable and convertible devices.
