Samsung Sets Galaxy Z TriFold Launch With Bundled Charger as Leaks Raise Performance Questions

A Korea-first release at roughly $2,450 underscores a selective, premium push for Samsung’s three‑panel foldable.

Overview

  • Samsung confirms a December 12 on‑sale date in South Korea for the Galaxy Z TriFold, priced at 3,594,000 won, with staggered rollouts to China, Taiwan, Singapore, the UAE and a U.S. window targeted for Q1 2026.
  • Official materials list a 10‑inch main display, 6.5‑inch cover screen, Snapdragon 8 Elite, 16GB/512GB, IP48, a 200MP main camera and a 5,600mAh three‑cell battery with 45W charging.
  • An official unboxing and leaked manual show Samsung including a 45W charger, a Carbon Shield case and a data cable in the box, plus haptic warnings to prevent incorrect folding.
  • Leaked Geekbench 6 results attributed to the TriFold cite scores around 2,853 single‑core and 8,501 multi‑core, trailing the chipset’s reference figures, though these remain unofficial.
  • Nubia’s newly launched Fold offers an 8‑inch display, Snapdragon 8 Elite and a 6,560mAh battery at about $1,145, as reports also point to a GSMA listing that suggests Xiaomi may field a tri‑fold in 2026.
