After months of teasing A A foldable phone with three screensSamsung is preparing to launch what it calls the Galaxy Z TriFold – because Foldable With just one hinge, that was the case last year.
the phone It is scheduled to become available first in Korea on December 12, and will then be launched in other locations including China, Taiwan, Singapore and the UAE. It will arrive in the United States in the first quarter of 2026.
To get rid of this warning: the tri-fold phone doesn’t do this In reality Fold three times. Alternatively, devices like the Z TriFold have a main display with two hinges, allowing the phone to Fold into three sections. It appears to be more of a phone-tablet hybrid when unfolded. The Z TriFold features a 10-inch display when unfolded and a 6.5-inch display.
“The company’s decade-long experience in innovating the foldable category inspired the Galaxy Z TriFold’s unique multi-fold form factor, which uses an inward-folding design to protect the main screen,” Samsung said in a statement. Blog post. “The folding mechanism has been precisely designed for easy opening and closing, with an automatic alarm to alert the user in the event of incorrect folding through a series of on-screen alerts and vibrations.”
The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold focuses on thinness.
A bunch of features come together
The Galaxy Z TriFold appears to borrow elements from two of its siblings: Galaxy S25 Edge and Galaxy Z Fold 7. Both phones are impressively thin, with the bezel measuring 5.8mm and the Z Fold 7 measuring 4.2mm thick when unfolded.
The Z TriFold goes one step further. Samsung says it’s just 3.9mm thick “at its thinnest point.” Reading the fine print reveals that the measurement excludes “camera and pre-installed protective film.” The thickest panel is the center panel, which measures 4.2mm. The side button panel is 4mm thick. However, all of this should help reduce bulk when the three displays are stacked on top of each other.
The triple rear camera system includes a 200-megapixel wide-angle camera, similar to a camera Galaxy S25 UltraAnd the S25 Edge and Z Fold 7. There’s also a 12MP telephoto camera and a 10MP telephoto camera. For selfies, you’ll find 10MP front cameras on both the cover and the main displays.

Like other premium Samsung phones released this year, the Z TriFold is powered by a dedicated feature Snapdragon 8 Elite Processor. It also has a 5,600 mAh three-cell battery – a great upgrade over the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s 4,400 mAh battery. Samsung indicates that this system “was placed in each of the device’s three panels to provide balanced power and endurance throughout the day.” The phone supports 45W fast charging.
Samsung notes that the Z TriFold has two different-sized hinges, “creating a smoother, more stable fold despite varying weight and components across the device.” This also helps reduce the gap between screens. The titanium hinge casing “resists corrosion over time,” and the phone’s advanced aluminum armor frame should also help with durability, while preventing the screens from touching when folded and closed.
The Z TriFold borrows another trait from the Z Fold 7: an IP48 rating. This means that the phone can be submerged under 1.5 meters of water for up to 30 minutes, and is protected against solid particles larger than 1 mm, but not against dust. Meanwhile, Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold It features an impressive IP68 water rating and Dust resistance.
Samsung’s triple foldable display has Corning’s Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on the front, while the back is made of fiberglass-ceramic reinforced polymer.
Multitasking is one of the benefits of the larger home screen.
Why would someone buy the Galaxy Z TriFold?
So what’s the point of a phone that turns into a giant 10-inch screen? Samsung says the Z TriFold is ideal for multitasking.
“Users can use the screen with endless versatility – they can create across three different vertically sized apps side by side without interruption, resize apps into multiple windows to clearly display the most important information, or keep them vertical when reviewing documents for improved focus,” the company notes.
Samsung also says the wider screen can be useful for watching movies and TV shows. And if you’re watching a video on YouTube, you can read comments on the adjacent screen at the same time. Samsung notes that “miniature creasing on the device keeps content smooth and uninterrupted.” That will be a crucial element.
The phone’s AMOLED cover and main displays have a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. The cover display has a peak brightness of 2,600 nits, while the main display has a peak brightness of 1,600 nits.
The Galaxy Z TriFold will arrive with Android 16 and Single user interface 8. It’s not clear how much the phone will cost, but given the Z Fold 7’s starting price of $2,000, it’s likely a pretty penny.
