Testing the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold on Android Central.

I used the Galaxy Z TriFold at the Dubai Mall, and while that was a limited interaction, I was able to go hands-on with it to a greater extent at CES 2026.

The Galaxy Z TriFold is on sale in South Korea and the UAE, where is costs anywhere between the equivalent of $2,500 to $3,200. Samsung is set to bring the Galaxy Z TriFold to the U.S. sometime later in Q1, and estimates suggest the foldable will cost over $2,600 in the country, inching closer to $3,000.
