Samsung’s most ambitious foldable yet launches December 12 in Korea, with a global rollout coming soon—starting at a surprisingly reasonable $2,500.
Galaxy Z TriFold Is Official—And Cheaper Than Expected
After months of rumors and speculation, Samsung has officially taken the wraps off the Galaxy Z TriFold, the company’s first triple-folding smartphone. The announcement ends widespread curiosity around its pricing and availability, and to many users’ relief, the final price is lower than expected.
Price: Lower Than Rumored, But Still Premium
The Galaxy Z TriFold will start at KRW 3,590,400 in South Korea, which is roughly $2,500 USD. That puts it:
- $500 below early rumors that predicted a $3,000 price tag
- Roughly $700 more than the Galaxy Z Fold 7, making it a stretch purchase—but not unthinkable for early adopters
Given the complexity of its multi-hinge design and likely high-end specs, the price positions it firmly in the luxury foldable category, without being prohibitively expensive.
Launch Begins December 12 in South Korea
Samsung will release the Z TriFold in phases, starting with its home market:
- South Korea launch date: December 12, 2025
- Other early markets: China, Taiwan, Singapore, and the UAE will receive it before the end of December
- United States: Samsung confirms a Q1 2026 launch window (between January and March)
Samsung hasn’t provided detailed rollout dates for Europe or other major markets, but a gradual global expansion is likely.
