Samsung’s tri-fold phone is more closer as the days go by. It’s expected to launch as early as December first week. Ahead of the launch, a new leak from South Korea suggests that the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold could arrive with a lower-than-expected price tag.
According to information shared by the Korean blogger yeux1122, Samsung is considering a starting price of around 3.6 million won, roughly $2,447, in its home market. That’s notably lower than earlier estimates that suggest a starting price of around $3000.
It also puts Samsung in direct pricing competition with Huawei’s Mate XTs, currently the only commercially available trifold device. Huawei sells the XTs for roughly $2,520 after dropping the price from the first-gen model.
Expected specifications
As a tri-fold, it’s obvious that the device uses two hinges. One of the hinges is expected to have a tighter bend so the displays can stack neatly when folded in.
The Galaxy Z Trifold is also expected to feature a G-shaped inward-folding design to protect the sensitive inner OLED panel. This method doesn’t expose the main screen, while Huawei uses a Z-format mechanism, revealing the bending edge of the panel outside.
Once opened, the TriFold spreads into a 10-inch OLED workspace with a 6.5-inch outer screen for normal phone use. The bezels reportedly remain thicker than most recent flagships, but the rest of the hardware is a 2025 flagship.
It will have a 200-megapixel main camera with up to 100x zoom, a 12-megapixel ultrawide, a 10-megapixel 3x telephoto, and a titanium frame.
Inside, Samsung is said to be using three batteries, possibly silicon-carbon cells. And this will power the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite series chipset for top-tier performance.
