Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold Launches Amidst Competitive Foldable Market

Samsung has officially launched its Galaxy Z TriFold on December 1, 2025, introducing a trifolding design that sets the stage for intense competition in the foldable smartphone market, especially against Huawei's offerings.

The Galaxy Z TriFold features dual hinges, unfolding to a significant 10-inch main screen and a 6.5-inch cover display. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and boasts a 5600mAh battery with 45W charging.

The device is rated IP48 for dust and water resistance, showcasing durability with titanium hinges and Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2. Comparatively, Huawei's Mate XTs, with its 10.2-inch OLED display, offers a slightly larger screen and faster 66W charging, but lacks Google services and 5G compatibility.

The Galaxy Z TriFold will launch in South Korea on December 12, 2025, priced at approximately $2,440, with plans for a broader rollout including markets like China, Taiwan, and the U.S. in early 2026. Meanwhile, Huawei's Mate XTs, currently available only in China, starts at around $2,550, with global availability anticipated in 2026.

Both devices carry unique features and specifications, making them competitors worth considering in the evolving foldable phone landscape.
