The Galaxy Z TriFold is distinguished by its dual-hinge architecture, which allows the device to unfold from a conventional smartphone form factor to a large 10-inch tablet. The main screen, a Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with QXGA+ resolution (2160 x 1584), offers an adaptive refresh rate of 120Hz and a maximum brightness of 1600 nits. When fully opened, the device impresses with its minimum thickness of just 3.9 mm, although it is 12.9 mm when closed, when the user interacts with a 6.5-inch external screen.
At the “heart” of the machine is the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor, specifically optimized for the demanding multitasking that three screens require. As for photographic specifications, the smartphone features a 200 megapixel (MP) main sensor, accompanied by a 12 MP ultra-wide lens and a 10 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. To power this system, the TriFold has a 5600 mAh battery, distributed across the different segments of the chassis to maintain weight balance.
Although the initial launch is scheduled for December 12th in South Korea – with a price of around 3.6 million won (around 2105 euros) –, Samsung confirmed that the Galaxy Z TriFold will be sold in the United States (there is no forecast for Europe) in the first quarter of 2026.
This western expansion is crucial as it puts the new format squarely in competition on Apple’s home turf, signaling that Samsung has no intention of accepting second place without a fight. It remains to be seen whether this luxury innovation will be enough to halt the momentum of competition in 2026.
