Samsung Debuts $2,450 Galaxy Z TriFold Months Ahead of Foldable iPhone
Samsung Electronics Co. unveiled its first so-called trifold smartphone, flaunting its engineering prowess in foldable devices even as the broader category has yet to catch on with mainstream consumers.
The handset, called the Galaxy Z TriFold, is part of a small subset of folding phones that have two hinges, allowing them to transform into larger, tablet-sized devices. Samsung is initially launching it in South Korea on Dec. 12 with a price of 3.59 million won (about $2,450). It plans to sell the phone in the US, but hasn’t yet shared pricing. The TriFold will also be available in other markets, including China, Taiwan, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates.
