Galaxy Z TriFold features inward-folding hinges for a tri-folding design
The handset may sport a 9.96-inch inner screen and 6.54-inch cover screen
Samsung reportedly plans to produce only 50,000 units for select markets

Samsung provided a first glimpse of its upcoming tri-fold smartphone on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit on Tuesday. The handset, dubbed the Galaxy Z TriFold, is expected to be launched in select global markets soon. So far, the South Korean tech conglomerate has remained tight-lipped on its capabilities. However, it is expected to enter mass production ahead of its launch later this year, but its availability will be limited to select markets.

South Korean publication The Chosun Daily shared images of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold that was showcased at the APEC summit in Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province. The handset appears to have dual inward-folding hinges to facilitate folding it in two sections. When folded, it takes up the shape of a normal bar-style smartphone and resembles the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

It has three side-by-side screens which can be folded in a Z-style, similar to the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design. The rightmost screen appears to feature an in-display hole-punch front camera for selfies.

According to previous reports, the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold will have three distinct rear panels. It is expected to have a triple rear camera setup on the left-most rear panel. If the renders are to be believed, its camera island could resemble the unit on the current Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Leaks suggest that the upcoming triple foldable could feature a titanium frame. It is rumoured to come with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, coupled with 16GB of RAM. The phone is expected to have a 6.54-inch cover screen and a large 9.96-inch triple-folding inner display. The handset may feature a silicon-carbon battery and a 200-megapixel primary camera with 100x zoom support.

However, there are questions about its wider availability. As per reports, the Galaxy Z TriFold may only be sold in select markets, including China, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and the UAE. Samsung reportedly has plans to have a production run of only 50,000 units of the handset. Upon launch, it is expected to become only the second commercially available tri-fold smartphone in the world, following the introduction of the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design in September 2024.
