Can’t choose between a new smartphone or a new tablet? Well, Samsung has made your decision pretty easy then by saying: Why not both with the new Galaxy Z TriFold?Samsung finally made its trifold phone official. That’s right, a trifold phone that’s called the TriFold because it has three display panels with two hinges that fold out into a 10-inch display. That’s a tablet-sized screen, the largest ever on a Galaxy phone, wrapped into a foldable smartphone.

While the big Dynamic 2X AMOLED display, with its 2160 x 1584 resolution and 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, works as one large singular screen, the device can also be configured to work as if it’s three 6.5-inch smartphones. Users can simultaneously run three different portrait-sized apps on each panel side-by-side. With that said, users can drag and drop files across all three screens as the TriFold still performs as a single device.
When folded, Samsung fans will be able to use the TriFold’s outer screen, with its 6.5-inch 2520 x 1080 resolution display just like a non-foldable smartphone.

With a 200 MP camera and powered by the customized Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy, the Galaxy Z TriFold still manages to be fairly thin when folded out, ranging from 4.2mm to 3.9mm in thickness at its thinnest point. When folded, the TriFold does balloon in size, measuring in at 12.9mm thick.The Galaxy Z TriFold is also the first smartphone that can run Samsung DeX, which basically enables users to turn their mobile device into a desktop PC-like experience.Unlike many other unique smartphones that never get released in the United States, Samsung is bringing the Galaxy Z TriFold to the U.S. in the first quarter of 2026.The only real question left about the Galaxy Z TriFold is how much it’ll cost for Americans. Samsung has not yet shared a price for the TriFold when it launches in the U.S. next year. However, the TriFold will be in stores much sooner in South Korea. When it goes on sale there on December 12, 2025, consumers will be paying roughly $2,500 for the foldable device.It’s unclear if Samsung will keep that same pricing structure for the U.S. market, but with the TriFold hitting U.S. shelves sometime over the next few months, we’ll soon find out.
