Samsung is one of the top foldable phone manufacturers, and the company has finally made a major leap with the launch of the Galaxy Z TriFold. It's a foldable phone with two hinges and three display sections, which fold out to reveal a massive tablet-like display.
It's an impressive-looking phone, and even if it's not the first tri-fold phone, it will likely make the most impact thanks to Samsung's global reach. However, the device won't be available everywhere, and it will likely cost a pretty penny. Even so, would you buy the Galaxy Z TriFold if you had the opportunity? Let us know in our poll below and drop a comment to share your thoughts on Samsung's latest foldable form factor.
The Galaxy Z TriFold takes foldables to another level
The Galaxy Z TriFold was rumored for a while, and it's nice to see that Samsung is actually going ahead with the launch. The company already has a good track record with its foldables, particularly the latest Galaxy Z Fold 7, and it appears Samsung is taking what it's learned to deliver an impressively thin phone with impressive specs.
It measures only 3.9mm at its thinnest point and 12.9mm when folded, making it less than a millimeter thicker than the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and slightly thicker than its closest competitor, the Huawei Mate XTs. It features a 6.5-inch AMOLED cover screen, but flip it around, and it opens to a 10-inch display that looks like a small tablet.
In fact, while other large-screen foldables are often compared to tablets, this may be the closest thing to one given the wide, rectangular aspect ratio. This should improve the video-watching experience and possibly gaming, too, as there will likely be little or no letterboxing.
Otherwise, the phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite (not the newer 8 Elite Gen 5) and 16GB of RAM, which should prove more than enough for most people. There's also 512GB of storage as a base, or you can get 1TB.
On the back is a 200MP primary camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and a 3x telephoto lens. A 5,600mAh battery keeps the lights on with 45W charging, and the IP48 rating should keep it well protected against freshwater and larger dust particles.
What we don't know, at least in North America, is when exactly it will arrive and how much it will cost. It will launch first in Korea on December 12, but a U.S. launch won't come until Q1 2026, meaning anywhere from January 1 to March 31. It will cost 3,594,000 won in Korea, which converts to roughly $2,450, although we expect it to cost more than this in the U.S.
