When is the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold release date?
Best answer: Samsung's Galaxy Z TriFold will release in South Korea on Dec. 12, 2025. The foldable phone will eventually launch in other markets, including China, Taiwan, Singapore, the UAE, and the U.S., but a more specific release date beyond "Q1 2026" has not been set.
Everything we know about the Galaxy Z TriFold's price, release date, and specs
Following years of rumors and months of leaks, Samsung made the Galaxy Z TriFold official on Dec. 1, 2025. Despite the phone's name, the Galaxy Z TriFold only folds twice, but it packs a massive 10-inch AMOLED display inside with three sections. Although the company revealed the phone's full specs, including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and the Android 16-based One UI 8, pricing and availability details are a bit more secretive.
Samsung confirmed the Galaxy Z TriFold will launch in South Korea first on Dec. 12 at 10 a.m. local time, and it will cost roughly 3.59 million won (via Reuters), which converts to roughly $2,440.17. However, regional pricing isn't that simple, and the Galaxy Z TriFold will likely cost closer to $3,000 in the U.S. — if the difference between Korean and U.S. pricing for phones like the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is any indication.
It's possible that the Galaxy Z TriFold could debut in China, Taiwan, Singapore, and the UAE before the end of 2025. However, U.S. customers will have to wait longer to get their hands on the new foldable phone. "Galaxy Z TriFold will be available in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2026 with more details to be shared later," Samsung said in a newsroom post.
The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold may be released in limited quantities in the U.S. The phone will initially be offered "at select retail stores in respective launch countries for hands-on discovery of this exciting new device and in-store assistance," according to the company. Samsung hasn't confirmed whether the phone will be available through U.S. carriers yet.
Samsung did pull the curtain on one launch discount — U.S. customers who buy the Galaxy Z TriFold will get six months of Google AI Pro for free. This perk includes 2TB of cloud storage, access to Google's premier AI models, and the Google Home Premium subscription.
Stay tuned, as Samsung is likely to share more info about the Galaxy Z TriFold's release date as the Q1 2026 launch window inches closer.
