Move over, tablets: Samsung launches its triple-screen Galaxy Z TriFold

For months, Samsung has been teasing the next member of the Galaxy family. The tech giant even showcased the Galaxy Z TriFold in full detail last month at the APEC Summit. But the time for teasers is officially over, as Samsung has finally launched its first triple-screen foldable.

The Galaxy Z TriFold further blurs the lines between phone and tablet. With its two-hinge design, the device manages to fit three screens in one, outdoing the Galaxy Z Fold line. When unfolded, the main screen reaches out to an impressive 10 inches. And at its thinnest point, the phone only measures 3.9mm thick. For comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 measures 4.2mm in thickness when unfolded.

To ensure this multifolding device is sturdy enough to withstand everyday wear and tear, Samsung has created a new display technology. This technology introduces a reinforced overcoat to the shock-absorbing display layer to provide better resistance. The display isn’t the only aspect Samsung has tinkered with; the company also refined the hinge design with a dual-rail structure. Samsung claims this creates a smoother and more stable fold despite the varying weight and components across the device.

Along with that, you’re getting a handset with a customized Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy chip, a 200MP camera, and the largest battery Samsung has put in a foldable yet at 5,600mAh. The Galaxy Z TriFold offers a wired charging speed of 45W and a wireless charging speed of 15W.

Given the new form factor, the TriFold will have a few unique experiences. First and foremost is the auto-alarm that will warn you if you’re folding the device incorrectly. This will be a visual and tactile warning, meaning there will be on-screen alerts and vibrations to ensure you get the message before you make a mistake.

A feature that should prove handy for multitaskers is the multi-window view. The 10-inch main screen can act as three separate 6.5-inch smartphone screens, allowing you to run three portrait-sized apps side-by-side. If you need to close the main screen for something like a phone call, you’ll be able to bring your previous setup back with the taskbar. This taskbar will appear at the bottom right of the display and can be used to resurface any recently used apps.

On top of the multi-window view, the Galaxy Z TriFold will have a standalone Samsung Dex experience. This will allow you to access up to four workstations that can each run five apps simultaneously. You’ll even be able to add a secondary screen with Extended Mode and connect a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

The Galaxy Z TriFold will be making its debut in Korea first on December 12, 2025. It will be available in the US as well, but we’ll have to wait until next year. No exact date has been revealed yet, but the Galaxy Z TriFold is expected to hit US shores sometime in Q1 2026. Once it launches, the handset will be available in Crafted Black.
