Samsung Sets Galaxy Z TriFold Korea Launch for Dec. 12 at ₩3.59 Million

The ultra‑premium tri‑fold now faces sharper questions on performance and value following leaks and rival launches.

Overview

  • Samsung confirmed one 512GB/16GB model in Crafted Black for 3,594,000 won (about $2,450) with a bundled Carbon Shield case, 45W charger and USB‑C cable.
  • The device features a 10‑inch main display, a 6.5‑inch cover screen, a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and a three‑cell 5,600mAh battery in a body measuring as thin as 3.9mm when open.
  • Sales begin in South Korea on December 12 with sequential rollouts planned for China, Taiwan, Singapore, the UAE and the United States, with U.S. availability expected in Q1 2026 and reports indicating limited early volume.
  • An official unboxing video detailed the packaging and accessories, while a leaked 174‑page manual outlined UI layouts, hardware placements and fold‑direction warnings with vibration prompts.
  • Leaked Geekbench 6 results suggest lower‑than‑expected performance for the Snapdragon 8 Elite in this device (single‑core ~2853, multi‑core ~8501), as lower‑priced competition like the Nubia Fold debuts in Japan for about $1,145 with a larger 6,560mAh battery.
