Reliable leaker Evan Blass just dropped what he calls "confirmed details" on Samsung's first trifold phone, revealing the Galaxy Z TriFold name, a 10-inch internal display, and a December 5th Korea launch at $3,000. The specs put Samsung in direct competition with Huawei's Mate XT, potentially marking the company's boldest foldable move yet.
The trifold phone wars just got real. Samsung's long-rumored Galaxy Z TriFold finally has a name and detailed specs, thanks to veteran leaker Evan Blass dropping what he calls "confirmed details" on X this morning. The timing couldn't be more strategic - Huawei has been dominating headlines with its Mate XT trifold since September, and Samsung clearly isn't sitting this one out.
The Galaxy Z TriFold will pack a 6.5-inch cover display that cranks up to 2,600 nits of brightness - that's brighter than most flagship phones in direct sunlight. But the real showstopper is what happens when you unfold it: a massive 10-inch internal display that reaches 1,600 nits peak brightness. We're talking tablet territory here, transforming from pocket-sized to productivity powerhouse in one smooth motion.
Blass's leak reveals Samsung is going all-in on the camera front with a 200-megapixel main sensor - the same resolution found in the Galaxy S24 Ultra. That's paired with a hefty 5,437mAh battery and what's likely a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, though Samsung hasn't confirmed the exact chip yet. The engineering feat becomes clear when you look at the construction: three panels ranging from 3.9mm to 4.2mm thick, creating a folded profile of just 12.1mm.
That thickness matters because it puts Samsung ahead of Huawei's Mate XT, which measures 12.8mm when folded. It might seem like a small difference, but in the ultra-premium phone market, every fraction of a millimeter counts for pocketability. Samsung's also betting big on durability - the company's been perfecting hinge technology for years with the Galaxy Z Fold series, and that expertise shows in these leaked dimensions.
The December 5th launch timeline puts Samsung right in the holiday shopping window, though initially only for Korean consumers according to reports from Chosun Ilbo. The $3,000 price tag positions it as a direct Mate XT competitor, though that's still cheaper than Huawei's $2,800 starting price when converted from yuan.
What's fascinating is how this leak comes just weeks after Samsung showed the device at Korea's K-Tech Showcase. The company has been teasing trifold technology for months, but these specs suggest they're ready to make a real market push. Previous , but Blass has a solid track record - when he says "confirmed," the industry listens.
