Samsung is gearing up to launch the Galaxy Z TriFold, a revolutionary tri-fold smartphone that’s shaking up the foldable phone market. While earlier reports suggested a staggering price of $3,000, more recent information points to a more approachable price tag — though it still carries a premium. Let’s explore what this device offers, how much you might pay, and whether its price is justified compared to the upcoming iPhone Fold.
Price: Under $2,500, But Still Premium

Although the tri-fold form factor suggests an ultra-luxury product, latest rumors indicate the Galaxy Z TriFold will be available for around $2,499—significantly less than the prior $3,000 estimate. That $500 reduction is substantial, but the device remains costly compared to most smartphones. By comparison, Huawei’s Mate XT tri-fold started at $2,800, so Samsung is pushing towards a slightly more accessible price point for tri-fold tech. Meanwhile, the anticipated price for Apple’s iPhone Fold is around $2,399, offering a double-fold mechanism rather than a single-fold.
