Shaping the future with decades of mobile experience

Samsung has long led the mobile industry, pioneering new categories and experiences such as large-screen devices, foldable form factors and the use of AI in a mobile device, with each of these innovations created with the user in mind. Backed by cutting-edge R&D, end-to-end manufacturing and rigorous quality control, Galaxy Z TriFold demonstrates how Samsung continues to set new benchmarks for a phone that maximizes performance while remaining portable.

In Samsung's research and design process, innovation is driven by understanding how people use devices. The company's decade-long experience in innovation within the foldable category inspired the Galaxy Z TriFold's unique multi-folding form factor, which uses an inward-folding design to protect the main screen. The folding mechanism has been precisely designed for easy opening and closing, with an automatic alarm that alerts the user to incorrect folding through a series of on-screen notifications and vibrations. Every detail is conceived with precision and purpose to offer an intuitive and easy-to-use experience.

At just 3.9mm at its thinnest point, Galaxy Z TriFold delivers flagship-level performance powered by the custom Snapdragon® 8 Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy, a 200MP camera, and the largest battery Samsung has ever packed into a foldable phone. The 5,600 mAh three-cell battery system has been distributed across each of the device's three panels for balanced power delivery and all-day battery life. Combined with 45W super fast charging, Galaxy Z TriFold allows users to stream, create and work without limits.

To balance the power of an ultra-quality device in a slim and portable frame, a re-optimization of the core foldable technology was applied. Each part of the device was crafted with deep attention to structural innovation and product assurance:

• Samsung's most advanced hinges to date: Building on its track record in foldable phone innovation, Samsung refined the Armor FlexHinge to meet the unique demands of the Galaxy Z TriFold. Two differently sized hinges with a dual-rail structure work in harmony, creating a smoother, more stable fold despite the device's weight and variable components. The hinge structure also allows the display panels to meet securely with a minimal gap, enabling a slimmer, more portable device.
• Restructured folding screen: Galaxy Z TriFold introduces new display technology designed for the 10-inch screen that folds twice into a phone that fits in your pocket. A reinforced dust jacket was added to a layer of shock-absorbing screen for better resistance in the double-folding device.
• Advanced materials on the outside: The titanium hinge housing incorporates a thin piece of metal that protects the folding mechanism and resists wear over time. The device's frame is supported by Advanced Armor Aluminum, a high-strength alloy that provides rigidity without increasing bulk. The frame helps ensure the screens don't come into contact with each other, and a ceramic and fiberglass-reinforced polymer back panel keeps the design slim but crack-resistant.
• High quality inspection, on every device: Each unit goes through a series of strict quality tests to meet every small requirement. For example, computed tomography (CT) of the flexible printed circuit board verifies that it has been manufactured correctly as designed, ensuring accuracy and reliability before joining it with the other internal display components. Laser scanning verifies that all internal components are accurately mounted at the intended height, ensuring surface quality.

Through design innovation, engineering excellence and high quality standards, each device has been built to offer the best possible user experience.

Samsung's most versatile AI phone, powered by the largest screen

Productivity on Galaxy Z TriFold is boosted with powerful experiences, customized for the 10-inch display—the largest screen ever on a Galaxy phone. Like the users who inspired its dynamic design, Galaxy Z TriFold is powerful, versatile and ready for the modern age of AI.

When the Galaxy Z TriFold opens, the display behaves similarly to three 6.5-inch smartphones spread across the 10-inch screen, giving users more room to multitask throughout their day. Users can use the display with infinite versatility: they can create three apps in portrait orientation side by side without interruptions, resize apps in multi-window to see the most important information clearly, or hold it in portrait orientation when reviewing documents to improve concentration. For example, an architect designing plans for a new home can use the large screen to operate three applications at the same time: review plans, write a proposal and calculate measurements in a single multi-window workspace. If a call rings unexpectedly, you can answer it without interrupting your disposition or missing a beat. When it's time to get back to work, the Taskbar at the bottom right of the screen returns to displaying recently used apps, recalling all your settings with a single tap. Familiar apps and features, such as My Files and Samsung Health, have also been optimized for a large screen, allowing users to organize and understand information at a glance.

To live up to the powerful capabilities that a display of this size can offer, Galaxy Z TriFold is the first mobile phone to offer standalone Samsung DeX available, meaning users can set up a complete work environment from virtually anywhere. By accessing the Quick Settings panel and selecting DeX for Galaxy's most advanced work settings, users can access up to four workspaces that can each run up to five applications simultaneously. From there, they can review and edit a meeting presentation in one workspace, then quickly move to another to chat with friends or shop online. For even greater productivity, users can add a secondary display in Expanded Mode, allowing for a seamless dual-screen experience with an external monitor. Users can drag and drop apps between screens and work on both with desktop efficiency. They can also add a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, instantly creating the ultimate portable workstation for complex projects or creative designs.

Every detail of the Galaxy Z TriFold is designed for excellence — and with Galaxy AI, those capabilities elevate the device by making every function more intuitive on a big screen. Features like Photo Assist, including Generative Edit and Sketch to Image, fit Galaxy AI with great flexibility and scale, allowing users to capture and create on Samsung's most versatile creative platform. Users can also easily compare before and after edits side by side. Browsing Assist can simplify the use of Samsung Internet by offering instant summaries or translations when necessary.

Gemini Live on Galaxy Z TriFold is powered by multimodal AI that understands what users see, say and do. Users can ask contextual questions via voice and get answers without having to switch between apps for high-level multitasking. The larger screen offers design tips: When a user shows you a room, a shopping site, and paint samples, it will provide a personalized recommendation. With screen or camera sharing in Gemini Live, users can simply ask about what they're viewing for real-time assistance and information—all on one device.

A pocket-sized cinematic viewing experience

The unique shape of the Galaxy Z TriFold unlocks not only greater possibilities for creating and working, but also offers a perfect canvas for viewing high-quality photo and video content.

Designed for maximum viewing with greater portability, the Galaxy Z TriFold's large 10-inch main screen is perfect for getting lost in movies or series. For an expanded YouTube experience, users can now watch a video and read comments side by side. Minimized crease reduction keeps contents flowing and uninterrupted, and once closed, its slim profile allows it to easily slide back into any pocket.
