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

The double‑hinged device positions Samsung’s foldables as a productivity tool with desktop‑style DeX plus a timed Google AI Pro trial.

Overview

  • Sales begin in South Korea with a single 16GB/512GB model in Crafted Black, with a Carbon Shield case, a 45W charger and a USB‑C cable included.
  • The inward U‑shaped tri‑fold design reveals a roughly 10‑inch inner display and a 6.5‑inch cover screen, weighs about 309g, and measures 12.9mm when closed at a minimum 3.9mm panel thickness.
  • Core specs include a 5,600mAh battery, Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, and a 200MP main camera, targeting tablet‑like use in a phone form factor.
  • Samsung says the TriFold is the first Galaxy phone with standalone DeX, offering multi‑window workflows and Extended Mode, plus a six‑month Google AI Pro trial that renews at $19.99 per month in the U.S.
  • After Korea, Samsung plans sequential rollouts to China, Taiwan, Singapore, the UAE and the U.S. in early 2026, as it extends a foldables lead that reached 64% global share in Q3; early hands‑ons praise productivity but note heft and price.
