Samsung Unveils the Galaxy Z TriFold A Massive Shift in Folding Tech
On December 2, 2025, Samsung finally launched the aforementioned Galaxy Z TriFold, which is the most adventurous product in its line-up. Unlike the two standard folding designs (book-style), this new "trifold" folds open to reveal an enormous tablet-sized screen. Earlier reviews are in, affirming that its power in theory is awesome but the physicality of it causes monumental compromises.
The Design Three Screens Two Hinges
A defining characteristic of the Z TriFold is its ability to grow from a standard phone to a 10-inch tablet. Unlike some competitors, this device folds inward to protect the main screen.
- Main Display 10 inches Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel (2160x1584) having an unusual 1-120Hz refresh rate with 1600 nits peak brightness.
- Cover Display 6.5 inches display (2520x1080) with a 120Hz refresh rate and boasting a brightness of 2600 nits, made of stronger glass.
- Build Titanium Armor FlexHinge and Advanced Armor Aluminium construction.
- Size and Weight It is chunky. When folded, it is 12.9mm thick (4mm thicker than Z Fold7) and, for a phone, weighs heavy at 309g. When unfolded, the device has tapering dimensions of approximately 3.9mm along the slimmest edge.
Performance and Hardware Specs
Samsung hasn't scrimped on internals. It is for productivity a workhorse of the TriFold.
- Processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy.

Experience in the Real World-Pros and Cons
Hands-on reviews by creators like Mrwhosetheboss and SuperSaf have pointed out what it's generally like living together with the TriFold.
The positive side
This phone is a multitasking titan. You can run three apps side-by-side, or use Samsung DeX right on the device, truly transforming it into a laptop replacement with a windowed interface. Engineering is top-notch, with magnetic guides that help lift the midsection to keep the 10-inch display fairly flat.
A compromise
The form factor brings its disadvantages
- Creases Folds double which means you have a couple of crease lines on the screen walking across it.
- Stability Narrow base with a camera bump rocks on the table making it hard to use without a case.
- Fragility Internal screen is soft and scratches easily under the slightest pressure. User-replaceable screen protectors are a myth here and it needs to be opened up by the service center.
- Fingerprints Glossy finish of the poly-glass composite back attracts smudges instantaneously.
Pricing and Availability
On December 12, the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold went on sale in South Korea, but the global pricing is still uncertain. This will be an assumption worth
- South Korea Around 2,400 dollars.
- Global Approximation Which ought to be estimated around 3,000 dollars.
