Samsung Shows Galaxy Z TriFold Prototype in First Public Preview

Samsung signals a limited, ultra‑premium rollout later this year to underscore its foldable leadership.

Overview

  • The tri‑fold device was displayed under glass at the K‑Tech Showcase during APEC in Gyeongju with no hands‑on access.
  • Samsung said it plans to bring the next‑generation device to users within this year, without confirming specs, price, or exact launch dates.
  • Images and demos show a dual‑hinge inward design that shifts from a phone‑like 6.5‑inch cover display to an inner screen of roughly 10 inches.
  • Reports point to an initial production run of about 50,000–200,000 units and a selective launch in markets such as South Korea, China, Taiwan, Singapore, and the UAE, with U.S. availability uncertain.
  • Pricing is expected to sit near $2,800–$3,000, and leaks suggest flagship hardware including a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, up to 16GB of RAM, and a 200MP main camera.
