Samsung has launched the Galaxy Z TriFold for pre-order in China, priced at 19,999 Yuan (~$2,830), putting it in direct competition with Huawei’s Mate XTs in the growing tri-fold smartphone market.
The Galaxy Z TriFold comes in two memory options: 16GB+512GB for 19,999 Yuan and 16GB+1TB for 21,999 Yuan (~$3,110). It is available in a black finish, and pre-orders are open through Samsung’s online store. Huawei’s Mate XTs, which launched earlier in September, carries similar pricing for its higher storage models, placing both devices head-to-head in the ultra-premium foldable category.
Samsung uses an inward-folding system that protects the main screen and allows smooth hinge movement. When unfolded, the phone becomes a 10-inch Dynamic AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, QXGA resolution, and up to 1600 nits brightness. The outer screen measures 6.5 inches and reaches up to 2600 nits for outdoor visibility.
The Galaxy Z TriFold runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor and uses a 5,600mAh battery split across the three foldable parts. It supports 45W fast charging. For cameras, it offers a 200MP main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 10MP telephoto lens, with 10MP selfie cameras on both displays.
