Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold Design

Samsung showcased a prototype of the Galaxy Z TriFold at the APEC summit, giving a quick look at how the phone folds using two inward hinges. When the device is shut, it looks and feels like a regular bar-style smartphone. Once unfolded, it opens into a larger screen that works more like a small tablet.

The Galaxy Z TriFold is expected to roll out only in a few markets, including South Korea, China, Singapore, Taiwan, and the UAE. Samsung is reportedly planning a limited production run, with around 20,000 to 30,000 units planned for the first batch.

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold Specifications

The Galaxy Z TriFold is said to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and come with 16GB of RAM. The outer screen may measure 6.54-inch with up to 2,600 nits of peak brightness, while the inner display could extend to 9.96-inch with 1,600 nits brightness.

The phone is also rumoured to pack a 5,437mAh silicon-carbon battery, which is expected to offer better efficiency compared to traditional lithium-ion cells. For photography, Samsung may include a 200MP primary camera on the back.

In the premium foldable category, the Galaxy Z TriFold is likely to compete with models like the Huawei Mate XT, Mate XTs, and concept devices such as the Tecno Phantom Ultimate G Fold.
