Third-party reviews

What customers like about Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold (16GB + 1TB)

  • Massive 10-inch AMOLED main display offers a tablet-like experience that fits in a pocket.
  • Exceptional multitasking capabilities with support for up to five simultaneous apps and Samsung DeX mode.
  • High-end 200MP main camera sensor provides vibrant colors and good dynamic range.
  • Innovative dual-hinge design that feels premium and includes haptic warnings to prevent incorrect folding.
  • Impressive peak brightness of up to 2600 nits on the cover screen, ensuring visibility in direct sunlight.
  • Durable build with IP48 water resistance and reinforced carbon panels for added strength.

What customers don't like about Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold (16GB + 1TB)

  • Extremely high price point, starting at approximately $2,899, making it a niche luxury product.
  • Noticeable double creases on the inner display that are visible from most viewing angles.
  • Bulky and heavy form factor, weighing 309g and measuring nearly 13mm thick when folded.
  • Lack of S Pen stylus support, which many users find limiting for a screen of this size.
  • The 5,600mAh battery can struggle to power the large 10-inch display for a full day of heavy use.
  • Inner screen's soft polymer top layer is highly prone to fingerprint smudges and requires careful handling.

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold (16GB + 1TB variant) is a cutting-edge, first-generation tri-folding smartphone that transforms into an expansive 10-inch QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X tablet display (120Hz refresh rate, 1600 nits peak brightness) from a pocketable 6.5-inch FHD+ cover screen (120Hz, 2600 nits) when folded. It offers flagship performance with the customized Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy, 16GB of RAM, and a versatile pro-grade camera system featuring a 200MP main sensor, 12MP ultra-wide, and 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. Major pros include its stunning engineering, remarkably thin unfolded profile (as low as 3.9 mm), massive screen real estate ideal for seamless multitasking with Galaxy AI, and the largest battery yet in a Samsung foldable at 5,600mAh with 45W super-fast charging. However, some notable cons are its substantial folded thickness (12.9 mm), very high price (around $2,500-$3,000 for other variants), a less-than-stellar telephoto camera compared to non-folding flagships, and a battery life that can be strained by heavy use of the large display, potentially requiring midday top-ups.
