Samsung is the first in the industry to create the world’s first tri-fold smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold, which was unveiled last month, and is to be released on December 12, 2025, in South Korea. Samsung is now the leader in tri-fold technology in the mobile industry. Samsung is set to redefine consumer expectations of smartphone and tablet hybrids, offering astounding capabilities and technology. Samsung’s unique design and technology have set the industry to new heights.
Samsung becomes the first to create a multi-folding smartphone
Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold is the first to create an innovative multi-folding smartphone, transforming from a smartphone to a large-screen tablet with a user-friendly 10-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display. The device is very portable and user-friendly – ideal for anyone on the go. When the phone is folded, the user can access and operate all functions and features from the 6.5-inch display.
When the user is ready to make multitasking easy or engage in entertainment, the phone can be unfolded to provide an ideal tablet and work with the large audience screen.
To achieve this design, Samsung’s engineering team has spent years perfecting the design, incorporating two inward folding hinges to protect the main display and ensure durability.
The device has an auto alarm system that alerts users when the device is being folded incorrectly, which is meant to protect the device’s complex hinge system from being damaged.
The journey to the first tri-fold smartphone: Samsung’s pursuit towards perfection
According to Samsung, the TriFold went through a large amount of testing, including a folding test that simulates 200,000 cycles of use, which is the equivalent of five years of normal use.
In addition to the design, the performance of the Galaxy Z TriFold is unprecedented, featuring a Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile platform alongside 16GB of RAM and 512GB to 1TB of storage. The device has a 5600mAh battery, which allows the device to last all day, even with heavy use.
Also worth noting is the Samsung DeX support, which allows users to turn the TriFold into a desktop-like interface. On top of this, users can also use three apps at once. This device is meant for use by people who need to get a lot of work done and people who are constantly on the go. For people who love taking pictures, the TriFold also has a 200MP wide camera, a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultra-wide camera. This is a great setup for photography lovers.

Given the range of activities the device can perform, from capturing expansive visuals to intricate details, the quality of the images will be impressive. In addition, the main screen has a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate running at a resolution of 2160 x 1584. The Galaxy Z TriFold is capable of displaying exceptionally vibrant colors, creating smooth visual transitions. Sporting the 2520 x 1080 resolution, the folding screen is also impressive. As such, completing screen-dependent routines will not be a hassle.
