FULL STORY ======================================================================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 of storage and in Crafted
Black

We knew Samsungs tri-fold wouldnt be cheap, and the technology giant has finally shared the all-important pairing: the price and a US launch date. Samsungs Galaxy Z TriFold is officially launching later this week, on January 30, 2026, for $2,899.

Thats not a small sum of cash by any measure, but it is less than $3,000, which is good news if youve been eyeing 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 comes with 512GB of internal storage as well.

Youll need to head to a Samsung Experience Store to pick one up in person,
but considering the freezing temperatures across much of the country including New York City youll likely be better off ordering from Samsungs online store. No waiting in line, and quite possibly a better route for quick delivery. The latter all depends on demand, though. (Image credit: Lance Ulanoff / Future)

If youre hoping to try just one, Samsungs Experience Store is the place to do so. As of yet, Samsung hasnt said which, if any, carriers i.e., Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile will offer the Galaxy Z TriFold, though if that does happen, a monthly payment plan might make the triple-folding phone a bit more pocketable.

At $2,899, the Galaxy Z TriFold is $900 more than the Galaxy Z Fold 7 , which has a $1,999.99 MSRP, though you can easily shave a few hundred dollars off
by trading in a device or purchasing it during a sale. That puts the Galaxy Z TriFold in an even higher tier of premium flagship smartphones.

It did really wow us, though, in our hands-on, with TechRadars
Editor-at-Large Lance Ulanoff writing that the Z TriFold is an uncompromising and remarkable feat of engineering that offers the potential of truly pocketable big-screen tablet productivity. It really addresses the question, at least on paper and in its premise, of whether you need to bring both a phone and a tablet with you, 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 display is a 6.5-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X. It also doesnt skimp on performance, with
a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy under the hood and 12GB of RAM.

Well, of course, need to spend more time with it and put it through its paces outside of Samsungs hands-on space to deliver our full review of the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold. Even so, if the $2,899 price seems worth it to you, the Galaxy Z TriFold will go up for order directly from Samsung on January 30, 2026.
