Samsung unveils new foldable phone Galaxy Z TriFold
Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Z TriFold, a three-panel foldable that expands into a 10-inch display and introduces its most ambitious blend of hardware engineering and AI-powered productivity yet.
Samsung has revealed the Galaxy Z TriFold, a three-panel foldable that marks the company’s most radical mobile hardware experiment since the original Galaxy Fold.
At its launch event, Samsung framed the Z TriFold as the culmination of a decade of work in foldable engineering, and a direct answer to a long-standing industry problem: how to cram a tablet-class workspace into a device that still slips into a pocket.
TM Roh, Samsung’s mobile chief, said in a statement: “Galaxy Z TriFold solves one of the mobile industry’s longest-standing challenges.”
Roh called the device “the shape of what’s next”.
The Z TriFold unfolds into a 10-inch display, effectively the real estate of three 6.5-inch phones stitched together, and is powered by a customised Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset,and a 200MP camera.
The phone also boasts Samsung’s largest foldable battery to date with a 5,600 mAh three-cell system distributed across the device’s panels.
At its thinnest point, the phone measures just 3.9 mm, thanks to a re-engineered Armor FlexHinge and structural redesigns across the device.
Samsung is positioning the TriFold as both a productivity tool and an AI canvas.
Standalone Samsung DeX turns the phone into a multi-workspace desktop environment capable of running up to 20 apps simultaneously, while Galaxy AI features, from Photo Assist to multimodal Gemini Live support, scale across the expanded screen for more complex editing, browsing, and real-time assistance.
Visually, the TriFold aims to double as a pocketable cinema: a Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with up to 120Hz refresh rate and brightness peaks of 2,600 nits outside and 1,600 nits on the main display.
The Galaxy Z TriFold launches December 12 in Korea before expanding to China, Taiwan, Singapore, the UAE, and the U.S.
