Samsung has officially locked in US pricing for its first tri-folding smartphone, the Galaxy Z TriFold, and it’s arriving sooner than many expected. The company has now confirmed a launch price of $2,899, putting an end to weeks of speculation about what this new foldable would cost stateside.
Interestingly, that final figure is higher than an earlier rumored price of $2,759, yet still slightly under previous expectations that the Galaxy Z TriFold could debut at around $3,000. Even so, $2,899 makes the Galaxy Z TriFold more expensive in the United States than in other key markets, including China and South Korea, which could be a deciding factor for shoppers comparing global pricing.
At this premium price point, Samsung is positioning the Galaxy Z TriFold as a true ultra-flagship foldable with high-end specs out of the box. The US model is set to include 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, along with a 5,600 mAh battery that supports 45 W wired charging—useful for powering a larger display setup and heavier multitasking.
In terms of design and display, the Galaxy Z TriFold uses the same camera hardware and a 6.5-inch cover screen found on the Galaxy Z Fold7, making it familiar in daily “closed” use. The big difference comes when it opens: the tri-fold design expands into a much larger 10-inch internal display, offering a tablet-like workspace that’s better suited for productivity, split-screen multitasking, and immersive media viewing than a traditional foldable.
With confirmed US pricing and an imminent rollout, the Galaxy Z TriFold is shaping up to be Samsung’s boldest foldable yet—aimed at early adopters and power users who want maximum screen space without carrying a separate tablet.
