The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold is one of the most exciting phones Samsung has ever released. It is the first Samsung device that unfolds twice, turning an average-sized phone into a full 10-inch display. We’ve already put together a guide for where to buy the Galaxy Z TriFold, if you’re interested.

Samsung says this phone represents the future of mobile AI, foldable tech, and portable productivity. And if you’re interested in learning about what it offers, then continue reading below, as we’ve put together its specifications, release date, and price.

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold release date confirmed

Samsung confirmed that the Galaxy Z TriFold will first launch in Korea on December 12, 2025, which matches an earlier ‘Q4’ leak. After that, the phone will roll out to other major markets, including China, Taiwan, Singapore, the UAE, and the United States. In the US, it has now been confirmed that the smartphone will be available to purchase on January 30.

Samsung is also offering early buyers some extra perks. Anyone who purchases the Galaxy Z TriFold will get a six-month trial of Google AI Pro, which gives access to advanced Gemini features and 2TB of cloud storage. Samsung will also give every buyer a one-time 50% discount on display repair, which is helpful because foldable screens are usually expensive to fix.

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold specifications 

For starters, the Galaxy Z TriFold is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which is one of Qualcomm’s most powerful chips for phones, and Samsung customized it to meet the performance demands of a tri-folding device. Aside from that, it comes with 16GB of RAM and either 512GB or 1TB of storage. There is no microSD card slot, so storage isn’t expandable.

Samsung has shared the complete specifications of the TriFold, which you can check out below.

When closed, the TriFold looks like a normal premium phone with a 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X cover screen. When you fully open it, it becomes a large 10-inch AMOLED display, which is bigger than any other Samsung phone screen ever made. Samsung kept the phone surprisingly thin, measuring only 3.9 mm at its thinnest point when unfolded.

Samsung also worked on a new hinge system called Armor FlexHinge. The TriFold has two hinges of different sizes that work together smoothly. They are built to handle the stress of folding twice without causing gaps or extra bulk. The device also uses strong materials like a titanium hinge housing and an Advanced Armor Aluminum frame.

Both displays support a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling and animations. The cover screen can reach up to 2,600 nits brightness, while the main screen goes up to 1,600 nits. This means the phone stays bright outdoors, and you can even use it in well-lit environments.

Battery life also appears to be solid as the TriFold uses a three-cell system with a total size of 5,600 mAh. The battery is divided across the phone’s three panels so power can be delivered evenly. Samsung says this design helps the phone last all day, even with heavy use. It supports 45W super-fast charging, letting you reach about 50% in around 30 minutes. It also supports Fast Wireless Charging 2.0 and Wireless PowerShare, allowing you to charge other devices wirelessly.

The camera system is also high-end. The rear setup includes a 200 MP wide camera, a 12 MP ultra-wide camera, and a 10 MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and up to 30x Space Zoom. On the front, there are two 10 MP selfie cameras: one on the cover screen and one inside on the main screen.

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold price

According to Samsung, the Galaxy Z TriFold Crafted Black with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage costs KRW 3,594,000 in South Korea. While we did have to wait a little while for the price to be confirmed in the United States, we now know that the Trifold will be available for $2,899 for the same 16GB RAM / 512GB storage model.

It’s not yet known how much the 1TB variant will cost, though our current predictions range between $200 or $300 extra. We can only hold out hope for Samsung to run something similar to the “Double the storage on us” deal it did with Galaxy S25 Edge pre-orders, where the 512GB model cost the same as the 256GB during the limited pre-order period.

When does the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold come out in the US?

The Galaxy Z TriFold will be available for purchase in the United States on January 30 at 10 AM PST.

Samsung first announced the Galaxy Z TriFold with a December 12 release date for the Korean market. As for the US, we had to wait until the new year to learn when it will be available. Samsung only revealed in a press release that the “Galaxy Z TriFold will be available in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2026”. As for other regions, including the UK and Canada, the date remains unannounced.

How many Samsung foldable phones are there?

You may know that this isn’t the only foldable phone Samsung has released this year. The Korean tech giant also released the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy 7 Fold 7 in 2025, the seventh generation of the brand’s foldable duo. The new TriFold model joins them for the first time. The current-gen roster includes three models in total:

• Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold
• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7
