Galaxy Z TriFold may end up a bit cheaper than expected, even though Samsung is still preparing one of the most expensive phones in its history. Earlier reports suggested the company’s first tri-fold could reach $3,000, but new information points to a more restrained price.
According to the latest leak, the Galaxy Z TriFold could launch at around $2,499. It remains firmly in the premium bracket, yet that figure makes it noticeably more attainable than early estimates. At that price, it would also come in roughly $300 below Huawei’s Mate XTs—an edge that could matter when sales begin.
Samsung has not revealed specifications or pricing, but preparations for the debut seem well underway. Previous coverage indicated a potential unveiling on December 5, with a limited release expected in 2026. With the year drawing to a close, any official announcement, if planned, would likely surface soon.
The Galaxy Z TriFold is expected to arrive in limited quantities and only in key high-spending markets, potentially including the United States, South Korea, China, and the UAE. The price is steep, but the intent is clear: it targets buyers willing to pay for cutting-edge, experimental form factors Samsung is using to push mobile design forward. The strategy reads like a careful, low-volume rollout to gauge demand without overcommitting.
