Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold Tipped for December 5 Debut as Reports Flag Limited U.S. Launch

The ultra‑premium tri‑fold is expected to ship in very small numbers at around KRW 4.4 million, positioning it as a technology showcase rather than a mass‑market phone.

Overview

  • Evan Blass’ leak names the device Galaxy Z TriFold and details a 6.5‑inch cover screen, a 10‑inch inner display, peak brightness of 2,600/1,600 nits, a 200MP main camera and a Snapdragon chipset.
  • Battery figures vary by source, with a 5,437mAh rated capacity likely to be marketed around 5,600mAh, highlighting a common rated versus typical discrepancy.
  • SamMobile reports firmware testing has begun for both carrier‑locked and unlocked U.S. models, with the U.S. currently cited as the only Western market planned for the limited launch.
  • Korean outlet The Chosun Daily reports a December 5 unveiling, an initial run of roughly 20,000–30,000 units and pricing near KRW 4.4 million (about $3,000).
  • The tri‑fold was previously shown behind glass at APEC; leaked dimensions cite panel thicknesses of 3.9/4.0/4.2mm and about 14mm when folded, with the exact Snapdragon variant and wider availability still unconfirmed.
