- Samsung’s Galaxy Z TriFold will cost $2,899 in the US
- It goes up for order on January 30, 2026
- The Z TriFold comes in one SKU: 512GB storage and in Crafted Black
We knew Samsung’s tri-fold wouldn’t come cheap, and the tech giant has finally shared the all-important pairing: the price and a US launch date. Samsung’s Galaxy Z TriFold will officially launch later this week, on January 30, 2026, for $2,899.
That’s not a small amount of cash by any means, but it’s less than $3,000, which is good news if you’ve seen this impressive foldable that opens not once, but twice to reveal a 10-inch screen. Samsung will only offer the TriFold — for now — in Crafted Black, the same shade TechRadar went hands-on with, and it costs $2,899. It also comes with 512GB of internal storage.
You’ll need to head to a Samsung Experience Store to pick one up in person, but given the freezing temperatures in much of the country — including New York City — you’ll probably be better off ordering from Samsung’s online store. No waiting in line, and possibly a better route for quick delivery. The latter, however, depends on demand.
If you’re hoping to try just one, Samsung’s Experience Store is the place to do it. So far, Samsung hasn’t said which, if any, carriers — ie. Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile — that will offer the Galaxy Z TriFold, but if it does, a monthly payment plan could make the triple phone a bit more pocket-friendly.
At $2,899, the Galaxy Z TriFold is $900 more than the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which has an MSRP of $1,999.99, though you can easily shave off a few hundred dollars by trading in a device or buying it during a sale. It places the Galaxy Z TriFold in an even higher tier of premium flagship smartphones.
It really impressed us, though, in our hands-on, with TechRadar’s Editor-at-Large Lance Ulanoff writing that the Z TriFold is “an uncompromising and remarkable piece of engineering that offers the potential for truly pocket-friendly big-screen tablet productivity.” It really addresses the question, at least on paper and in its premise, of whether you should carry both a phone and a tablet, as it combines the appeal of both into one device.

The Z TriFold opens up to a 10-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, which really impressed us, and similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, the front cover is a 6.5-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X. It doesn’t skimp on performance either, with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy under the hood and 12GB of RAM.
Of course, we’ll have to spend more time with it and test it outside of Samsung’s hands-on space to deliver our full review of the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold. Still, if the $2,899 price tag seems worth it to you, the Galaxy Z TriFold will go up for order directly from Samsung on January 30, 2026.
