Those shindigs almost always take place on a Wednesday… and never in December. Of course, we’re not dealing with a glamorous Unpacked ceremony here (either in name or spirit), but a much smaller affair where the handset’s full specs, features, capabilities, and availability information are likely to be unveiled.
Multiple (credible) sources currently point to sales being restricted to “major” markets like China, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and of course, South Korea, with the chances of anyone being able to order the Galaxy Z TriFold in the US or Europe anytime soon looking slim… at best.
A lot of screen, lots of battery juice, and a remarkably thin profile
- 10-inch primary display;
- 6.5-inch external panel;
- 5,600mAh battery;
- 4.2mm thickness (unfolded);
- 14mm thickness (folded).
Those are apparently the only specifications etched in stone for the Galaxy Z TriFold at this moment, and by the way, not even that marketing name is fully confirmed just yet.

Huawei’s second-gen triple-folding powerhouse just so happens to pack a 5,600mAh battery as well, so that’s another department where Samsung looks ready to compete for market (sub) segment supremacy. Of course, the Galaxy Z TriFold could hold a major durability advantage over its main nemesis thanks to a primary screen that folds inward twice rather than once inward and once outward. On the other hand, that’s probably the number one reason the price is expected to be so darn high.
Will Samsung shake up the foldable market with this groundbreaking product?
The make-or-break aspect in that case will become the aforementioned durability, as well as the real-life utility and functionality of the Galaxy Z TriFold, which will all need to be off the charts to prove that this device has… a point and a future of some kind.
