Samsung Shows Galaxy Z TriFold at CES 2026 Ahead of U.S. Launch This Month

Samsung targets top-tier productivity users with DeX-centric software on a reinforced tri-fold device.

Overview

  • The handset folds twice into a pocketable phone and opens to a roughly 10-inch workspace, with hands-on reports noting a display that blends its three panels seamlessly.
  • Desktop-style workflows lead the pitch, as DeX enables resizable multi-window layouts, persistent desktops, and easy external display use, with a new Adobe Lightroom app tailored for the device.
  • Durability engineering features a dual-hinge design and reinforcements using ceramic glass fiber, a titanium lattice, and carbon fiber, plus a vibration alert if the user starts closing it the wrong way.
  • Disclosed hardware includes a customized Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, a 200-megapixel primary camera, and a 5,600 mAh battery distributed across the panels.
  • Samsung says the TriFold is aimed at the “top 1%” heavy users, as the broader foldable market watches for the next Galaxy Z Fold and a rumored foldable iPhone later in 2026.
