Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold: The Future of Smartphones Is Here

Samsung has once again pushed smartphone innovation forward with its Galaxy Z TriFold — the world’s first tri-folding smartphone that blends the portability of a phone with the expansive screen experience of a tablet. This remarkable device brings an entirely new form factor to mobile computing, combining productivity, entertainment, and versatility like never before.

Launched in December 2025 in South Korea and expected in the U.S., China, and UAE in early 2026, the Galaxy Z TriFold sets a new benchmark for foldable technology.

Design: Three-Panel Magic

The Galaxy Z TriFold uses a dual-hinge mechanism that allows the screen to fold into three sections. Fully unfolded, it transforms into a tablet-like device with a 10.0-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display — perfect for videos, multitasking, and gaming.

When folded, a 6.5-inch cover display offers full smartphone functionality while keeping the device pocket-friendly. Despite its complex build, the TriFold remains thin at just 3.9 mm (unfolded) and 12.9 mm (folded). The phone combines a titanium hinge, Armor Aluminum frame, and ceramic-glass fiber reinforced back panel for durability and premium feel.

Performance: Powerhouse Under the Hood

Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy, the TriFold delivers flagship-level performance for gaming, multitasking, and productivity. It comes with 16 GB RAM and storage options up to 1 TB, running Android 16 with One UI 8, optimized for the tri-fold display.

Cameras: Triple Lenses for Every Shot

The Galaxy Z TriFold packs a triple rear camera system:

200 MP wide (main) camera with optical image stabilization
12 MP ultra-wide lens
10 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom

It also has dual 10 MP front cameras — one on the cover display and one on the inner display — perfect for selfies and video calls.

Battery & Charging

With a 5,600 mAh three-cell battery system, the TriFold supports:

45 W fast wired charging
15 W fast wireless charging
Wireless PowerShare to charge other devices

Fast charging can bring the battery to 50% in around 30 minutes with the supported adapter.

Durability & Extras

IP48 dust and water resistance
5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4
Side-mounted fingerprint sensor
Samsung DeX support for productivity
Optimized multitasking UI for three-panel display

Price & Availability

The Galaxy Z TriFold launched in South Korea at approximately ₩3,594,000 (~$2,440 / ₹2,19,000). Samsung plans a staged rollout to markets like China, Singapore, UAE, and the U.S. in early 2026. Estimated India pricing could be around ₹2,50,000.
