Samsung's latest offering, the Galaxy Z TriFold, is a smartphone that folds up to become a 10-inch tablet. The phone's design is similar to other folding phones on the market but with one major innovation - it can fold into three panels.
The first panel is like a normal smartphone screen, with thicker-than-usual bezels and a weight of almost 300 grams. When flipped open, the inner layer flips out to reveal an even larger 10-inch display that feels more like an Android tablet than any other Samsung folding phone before it.
This bigger screen gives users three app options at once: running one big app across the whole screen, or two apps side-by-side and a third on the remaining panel. The design of the phone is such that only the outer panel has to be held in hand, making it easier to use than other folding phones with similar display sizes.
The hardware behind the TriFold is excellent, with specs comparable to the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, including a 200-megapixel main camera and IP48 dust- and water-resistance. The price of the phone is around $2,500 in the US, but it's still considered too expensive for many users.
While it may be exciting technology, the TriFold is also quite pricey and feels frivolous at a time when economic conditions are tough. Only a handful of people will likely be able to take advantage of its unique capabilities, which come with a hefty price tag.

, but $2,500 is just crazy rich 
. Like, I know it's Samsung and all that, but for most people, that's just out of reach. And you're right, when times are tough, do we really need a phone that costs as much as a laptop? 
Plus, think about how often you'd even be using the 3-panel thing... not as often as I thought 
. But hey, for those who can afford it and want the latest and greatest, go for it! 
! The idea of having a 10-inch screen on a phone is kinda mind-blowing, but $2,500 is, like, whoa 
. I mean, I know some ppl might be all about the tech and will splurge for it, but personally, I'd wanna save that cash for more practical things 
. Still, Samsung's always pushing the boundaries of innovation, so props to them for trying out something new 
! The three-panel design is pretty cool, tho 
. Can't wait to see what other features it comes with 
and the fact that you can use it 3 ways at once 
is genius 
I feel bad for people who can't afford it, though 
. I guess if you're one of those people who thinks they need to upgrade their phone every 5 minutes, then go for it 
. But hey, if you're into that sorta thing and can afford it, go for it! 
! I'm obsessed with the idea of having a huge 10-inch screen in my pocket 
. But, let's get real... $2,500 is just crazy expensive 
. Still, as a tech enthusiast, I'm intrigued by its capabilities and would love to see how it plays out in real life 
and then there's the eco thing too, all those panels are just gonna end up in landfills eventually 
Maybe Samsung should focus on making it more accessible for people who actually need a phone like this. That'd be my two cents 
. $2,500 for it is steep, though... it's like they're trying to make a luxury item out of a smartphone 
.
I mean, who needs a $2,500 phone when there are so many other options out there? It's like they're trying to make a statement or something... "Hey, look at me, I can fold my phone into three panels and make it extra big!" 
And don't even get me started on the price tag. If you're just gonna drop that kind of cash on a phone, might as well go for the latest S25 Ultra with all its bells and whistles... just saying 
. But, I gotta agree with you, $2,500 is a lot to ask for a phone 
. I mean, don't get me wrong, the tech behind it sounds amazing, but $2,500 is just too steep 
. still, it's an awesome innovation and i'm hyped to see how ppl use this phone in the future!
