Samsung’s launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 has been a massive success. The company has decided to try something bolder, releasing a trifold, not just a regular foldable. Although it won’t be the world’s first trifold, as Huawei tops the list with the Mate XT, it is a foldable that promises a flagship experience.
The tech giant has revealed the Galaxy Z TriFold at the APEC summit in South Korea. The summit only spared us brief glances at the trifold, but a new video gives us a better look at this foldable. In the video from Omokgyo Electronics Mall, the Galaxy Z TriFold is seen up close.
The trifold is quite a thin device when unfolded. Samsung is using a similar design to the Galaxy Z Fold 7 here. The Trifold uses a dual-hinge mechanism, and when folded, it is as thick as a finger or slightly wider. It’s clear Samsung made a thorough effort to minimise the thickness despite the dual-folding.
When folded, the Galaxy Z TriFold resembles the Fold 7 from the rear. It comes with a triple rear camera setup, LED flash placement and a fingerprint scanner on the side, similar to the Fold 7’s setup.
There haven’t been any official announcements from Samsung regarding the TriFold’s specs or release details only that it will be available this year. There are rumours that it will only launch in selected countries , but nothing is certain yet.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 was a hit. Many consumers loved the idea and Samsung had to keep up with the demands, producing hundreds of thousands. The Galaxy Z TriFold is similar to the Z Fold 7 , only larger. Still, there’s a stark difference in how the company is handling the production. According to a report, Samsung will make fewer units of its Galaxy Z Trifold, and it might not even reach some markets.
A new report from The Elec reveals that Samsung won’t produce huge quantities of the TriFold, and is only settling for 50,000 units. The components the company received from its supplier are just enough to produce 20,000 to 30,000 Galaxy Z Trifold units . The report also mentions that Samsung will likely continue the Trifold development in December, while the suppliers expect an update from the company.
Due to Samsung’s delay in updating them, the suppliers think Samsung might not order more components to continue the Trifold production. As it stands, Samsung is only looking to create an extremely limited number of Galaxy Z Trifolds, not too many. This could be due to the market.
Samsung may start with a small number of units to evaluate the phone’s performance before scaling up to more units. Other than studying the market, there could be another reason.
A leaked video of the Galaxy Z TriFold showcased its 6.5-inch folded display expandable to 10 inches when fully unfolded. It could be seen that the TriFold has thick borders and resembles the Galaxy Z Fold 7 design.
The rumour mill is churning that the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold won’t get to the US , and the reason is likely pricing. The TriFold is expected to reach a $2,500 price in the US. Many consumers will raise their brows at this staggering price. The company might limit the launch to Asian markets as a test, before considering other regions.
Regarding the launch date, Samsung is expected to release the Galaxy Z TriFold later this year or early 2026.
