Samsung Launches Galaxy Z TriFold in Limited Test Run Amid Foldable Market Competition
Samsung unveiled its Galaxy Z TriFold with a 10-inch display, positioning it as a premium device priced at 3.59 million won (~$2,449). The limited-release strategy focuses on testing durability and hinge mechanics rather than mass-market adoption. Initial rollout targets South Korea (December 12), China, Taiwan, Singapore, and UAE, with US availability delayed until Q1 2026.
The tri-fold design measures 12.9mm thick when closed—substantially bulkier than Samsung's existing foldables. Counterpoint Research notes this launch serves as a technical proving ground, with production volumes intentionally constrained. No cryptocurrency partnerships or blockchain integrations were announced.
