Samsung Unveils Galaxy Z TriFold: First Triple-Screen Foldable Coming to US in Early 2026

Samsung Breaks New Ground with Triple-Screen Foldable

Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy Z TriFold, marking the company's ambitious entry into triple-screen foldable technology. Unlike traditional foldables with a single hinge, this innovative device features two folds and three total screens, representing a significant evolution in smartphone design.

Display and Design

The Galaxy Z TriFold features a 10-inch display when fully opened, transforming it into a tablet-sized device that could potentially replace dedicated tablets for many users. When closed, the device offers a 6.5-inch cover screen for standard smartphone use. Samsung has emphasized "minimized creasing" in the display, addressing one of the most common complaints about existing foldable phones.

The device utilizes an inward-folding design, though Samsung has shared details about the phone's durability and fold rating to reassure potential buyers about its long-term reliability.

Why This Matters to Consumers

The Galaxy Z TriFold represents Samsung's vision of a device that can truly replace both a smartphone and tablet in a single package. The massive 10-inch screen when unfolded provides ample space for productivity tasks, media consumption, and multitasking, while the 6.5-inch cover screen ensures the device remains functional as a traditional phone.

However, early hands-on videos have revealed both major strengths and weaknesses of the design, and the device notably misses a key feature found in Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip and Z Fold lines, though specific details weren't provided in available information.

Availability and Launch

Samsung expects the Galaxy Z TriFold to be available in Korea in a few days (later this month), with a US launch confirmed for early 2026. The company has already announced promotional offers for the US market, suggesting an aggressive push to establish this new form factor.

While full specifications and pricing details are still emerging, Samsung's entry into the tri-fold market positions it as a major player in the next generation of foldable devices.
