"Samsung is officially announcing the Z TriFold, its much-anticipated foldable with not one, but two hinges. It'll launch first in Korea on December 12th, with a US launch planned for the first quarter of 2026. There's no price just yet, but if a phone with one hinge costs $2,000, you should probably start saving your pennies nickels for this one."
"The TriFold's inner screen measures 10 inches on the diagonal, with a 2160 x 1584 resolution and a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate that goes all the way down to 1Hz. That's a lot of screen. You can run three apps vertically side by side on it, and even use Samsung's DeX desktop environment in a standalone mode without a separate display. On paper, the TriFold's outer screen looks a lot like the one on the Z Fold 7. It's a 6.5-inch 1080p display with a 21:9 aspect ratio."
"Each of the TriFold's three panels has a slightly different thickness. The center panel is the thickest at 4.2mm, and it houses a USB-C port on the bottom edge. The thinnest panel measures just 3.9mm thick, including a physical SIM tray, and the other panel is 4.0mm thick. Those two sides fold inward over the center panel, unlike Huawei's Mate XT, which folds in a Z shape and uses part of the inner screen when folded."
Samsung will launch the Z TriFold, a three-panel foldable smartphone with two hinges, first in Korea on December 12 and in the US in Q1 2026. The inner display is 10 inches diagonally with a 2160×1584 resolution and a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate that scales down to 1Hz, supporting three vertically stacked apps and standalone Samsung DeX without an external monitor. The external cover display measures 6.5 inches at 1080p with a 21:9 aspect ratio. Panel thickness varies: center 4.2mm with a USB‑C port, one side 3.9mm with a physical SIM tray, and the other 4.0mm; the two outer panels fold inward over the center.
