Years of expertise leading the innovation of the future of mobile devices
Samsung has always led the mobile phone sector, innovating new categories and experiences including devices with large screens, foldable designs, and applications of artificial intelligence on phones, all developed with a focus on user needs. Thanks to advanced research and development capabilities, integrated manufacturing processes, and stringent quality control standards, the ‘Galaxy Z TriFold’ embodies Samsung's continued commitment to setting new standards for a phone that combines maximum productivity and ease of portability simultaneously.
Samsung's efforts in research and design are based on a deep understanding of how people use their devices, which drives its innovation process. Through a decade of experience in developing the foldable device category, the company has inspired the multi-fold ‘Galaxy Z TriFold’ design, which adopts an internal folding mechanism to protect the main screen. The folding mechanism has been precisely engineered to facilitate opening and closing the device, with an automatic alert feature that notifies the user if the folding is incorrect, through a series of alerts on the screen and vibrations. Each detail has been developed meticulously and clearly to provide a smooth user experience.
The ‘Galaxy Z TriFold’ offers leading performance thanks to the dedicated Snapdragon® 8 Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy, a 200-megapixel camera, and the largest battery Samsung has introduced in a foldable phone to date. The device thickness is only 3.9 mm at its thinnest part, while it relies on a triple-cell battery system with a capacity of 5,600 milliamp hours distributed across the three panels to ensure balanced power distribution and all-day durability. In conjunction with the 45W super-fast charging technology, the ‘Galaxy Z TriFold’ allows users to stream, create, and work without limits.
To achieve a balance between powerful performance in a high-quality device and a slim design that is easy to carry, Samsung has refined the core technologies for foldable devices. Each part of the device is carefully developed focusing on structural innovation and quality assurance:
• The most advanced hinges from Samsung to date: Based on its long experience in innovating foldable phones, Samsung has developed the ‘Armor FlexHinge’ hinge to suit the unique requirements of the ‘Galaxy Z TriFold’. Two differently sized hinges with a dual-track structure operate in perfect harmony, providing smoother and more stable folding despite the differences in weight and components across the device. This structure enables the screen panels to meet tightly with minimal gap, providing a slimmer appearance and enhancing ease of carriage.
• A redesigned screen for foldable devices: The ‘Galaxy Z TriFold’ introduces new screen technology specifically developed for the 10-inch foldable size, transitioning into a pocket-sized phone when folded. An enhanced protective layer has been added over a shock-absorbent display layer, providing higher resistance through the dual fold design.
• Advanced materials for the external structure: The hinge case comes in titanium, with a slim metal piece that protects the folding mechanism and resists corrosion over time. Additionally, the device structure supports the ‘Advanced Armor’ aluminum, a high-strength alloy that adds rigidity without increasing thickness. This structure helps ensure that the screens do not touch each other, while the back side made of reinforced polymer with ceramic and glass fibers maintains a slim design with high resistance to cracks.
• Rigorous quality tests for each device: Each device undergoes a series of strict quality tests to achieve the highest standards of precision. For instance, ‘CT’ technology is used to inspect the flexible electronic panel to ensure it is manufactured according to the approved design before integrating it with other internal screen components. Additionally, laser scanning technology verifies the precise installation of all internal components at their specified heights, ensuring surface quality and performance stability.
Through innovation in design, advanced engineering, and high-quality standards, each device is developed to offer the best user experience possible.
Samsung's smartest phones thanks to artificial intelligence… and with the largest screen ever
Productivity levels on the ‘Galaxy Z TriFold’ are doubled with powerful experiences designed specifically for the 10-inch screen, which is the largest screen Samsung offers in any ‘Galaxy’ phone. Thanks to a design that meets the needs of users in the era of artificial intelligence, the ‘Galaxy Z TriFold’ combines power, versatility, and full readiness for the modern artificial intelligence era. When the phone is open, the screen functions in a way that simulates three 6.5-inch phone screens in a single 10-inch device, providing users with a larger space to perform multitasking throughout the day. The screen can be used flexibly, whether by working on three vertical apps side by side seamlessly, resizing apps in multi-window mode to view the most important information clearly, or using the vertical mode when reviewing documents to focus more. For example, an architect working on a new house plan can benefit from the large screen to operate three apps simultaneously to review the plans, write proposals, and perform calculations within a single workspace. If an unexpected call comes in, they can answer without affecting the screen layout or losing the sequence of work, while the taskbar at the bottom right of the screen provides immediate access to recently used apps and restores the work layout with a single touch. Additionally, several apps and features such as "My Files" and ‘Samsung Health’ have been optimized to fit the large screen, allowing users to organize content and see key information more clearly at first glance.
The ‘Galaxy Z TriFold’ is the first mobile phone to independently support ‘Samsung DeX’, allowing users to set up a comprehensive work environment from almost anywhere. By going to the quick settings panel and choosing ‘DeX’ for the most advanced work experience on ‘Galaxy’, users can access up to four workspaces operating five apps at the same time. They can, for example, review and edit a meeting presentation in one workspace, then quickly move to another to chat with friends and shop online. To further enhance productivity, a second screen can be added via the ‘Extended Mode’, which offers a seamless dual-screen experience with an external display, with the ability to drag and drop apps between the two screens and operate them efficiently akin to a desktop. Additionally, users can add a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard to instantly set up an integrated portable workstation for complex tasks or creative designs.
The experience on the ‘Galaxy Z TriFold’ is elevated with ‘Galaxy AI’, where every detail in the device is designed for excellence and making every feature smarter and more seamless on the large screen. Features like ‘Photo Assist’, including ‘Generative Edit’ and 'Sketch to Image', seamlessly adapt to the extensive capabilities of ‘Galaxy AI’, enabling users to capture and create across the most versatile creative platform from Samsung. They can easily compare images side by side before and after editing. ‘Browsing Assist’ provides a simpler browsing experience via ‘Samsung Internet’, offering instant summaries or translations when needed.
‘Gemini Live’ on the ‘Galaxy Z TriFold’ operates with multi-media artificial intelligence capabilities, capable of understanding what the user sees, says, and does. Users can ask questions vocally and receive answers smoothly, without the need to navigate between apps to perform multi-tasks at an advanced level. The large screen allows presenting immediate design tips; for instance, when a user displays a room picture, a shopping site, and color samples, ‘Gemini Live’ provides a customized recommendation. Through screen or camera sharing via ‘Gemini Live’, users can simply ask questions about what they are displaying to get immediate help, all through a single device.
Cinematic viewing experience in pocket size
The unique design of the ‘Galaxy Z TriFold’ opens broader horizons for creativity and work, while simultaneously providing an ideal space for viewing images and high-quality videos. Thanks to a design that provides extensive viewing space with greater portability, the wide main screen of 10 inches offers an immersive experience that allows the user to enjoy movies and series with full detail. For a more interactive experience on YouTube, users can now watch videos and read comments side by side. Additionally, minimizing the fold line ensures smooth content display without any interruptions, while the slim design when closed allows easy sliding into any pocket.
The device offers ultra-smooth images on the main 'Dynamic AMOLED 2X' screen with a refresh rate reaching up to 120 Hertz, thanks to Samsung's long experience in visual display technologies. The ‘Galaxy Z TriFold’ features a high brightness level whether it is open or folded, reaching 2600 lumens on the main screen and 1600 lumens on the main screen.
