Samsung’s Galaxy Z TriFold Sets Dec. 12 Korea Launch as Unboxing and Early Benchmarks Surface

Samsung is positioning the tri‑fold as an ultra‑premium showcase at KRW 3,594,000 with a U.S. window in Q1 2026.

Overview

  • Sales begin in South Korea on December 12 for the single 16GB/512GB model priced at KRW 3,594,000, with sequential rollouts planned for China, Taiwan, Singapore, the UAE and the U.S.
  • An official two‑minute unboxing video shows the retail package includes a 45W charger and a Carbon Shield case, alongside the device.
  • Core specs include a 10‑inch main display, a 6.5‑inch cover screen, Snapdragon 8 Elite, a three‑cell 5,600mAh battery with 45W charging, IP48 rating, and a 200MP main camera.
  • Leaked Geekbench 6 results attributed to the TriFold (single‑core 2853, multi‑core 8501) suggest lower‑than‑expected performance, though the scores are unofficial.
  • Competitive pressure is building from the Nubia Fold, which offers a larger 6,560mAh battery and a roughly $1,145 price in Japan, highlighting stark trade‑offs versus Samsung’s higher‑priced tri‑fold.
