Newsroom, December 04, 2025: Samsung Electronics unveiled the Galaxy Z TriFold, its pioneering triple-folding smartphone that expands to a 10-inch (25.4 cm) display for multitasking and creative work, weighing just 309 grams and measuring under 0.2 inches at its thinnest point.
The device, available exclusively in black, integrates generative AI for real-time assistance via screen or camera sharing, positioning it as a tech showcase rather than a mainstream offering. It hits shelves on December 12, 2025, at a steep $2,443—more than double the price of Apple's latest iPhone targeting affluent users seeking innovation over ubiquity.
Samsung's executive vice president Alex Lim described it as a "special edition" product, explicitly stating it is "not intended for mass sales," signaling a strategy to test high-end foldable boundaries without flooding the market. This follows the Galaxy Z Fold series' evolution, but the TriFold's ambitious hinge and ultra-thin profile push engineering limits, drawing praise for seamless unfolding yet criticism for its premium tag amid India's 30% smartphone penetration gap.
