On October 28, 2025, at the K - Tech exhibition during the Asia - Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders' Meeting Week, Samsung took the wraps off the prototype of its inaugural tri - folding screen smartphone, the Galaxy Z TriFold, presenting it to the public for the very first time.

This device boasts a unique bidirectional inward - folding design, with two hinges positioned at the folding sections. When in the folded state, it showcases three external screens placed side by side. Once fully unfolded, the screen size expands to roughly 10 inches, which is on par with that of a tablet. The external screens each measure around 6.5 inches, making them highly convenient for daily use.

In terms of hardware specifications, the Galaxy Z TriFold is powered by Qualcomm's fifth - generation Snapdragon 8 Supreme Edition chip. It comes with three separate batteries, with the combined capacity surpassing 5000mAh. Moreover, it supports reverse charging and NFC mobile payments, adding to its versatility.

As for the imaging system, it is outfitted with a 200 - megapixel main camera and offers an impressive 100x zoom capability. Regarding the price, the expected starting price is set to exceed 3 million won (equivalent to approximately RMB 15,000). Initial production volumes are estimated to fall between 50,000 and 100,000 units. The launch markets are likely to be restricted to countries where there is a high level of interest in folding - screen smartphones, such as South Korea and China.
