Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold Hands On: This Is the Phone-Tablet Hybrid You’re Looking For

You can run three apps side by side, two apps at once, or a single large app across the entire screen.

There are two titanium hinges and they open three panels. You can place a full-size app on each of the three panes, use a larger version of split-screen, or expand an app on the vast screen. It was easy to set up these configurations and I can definitely see myself enjoying having three apps open at once. It’s still a bit heavy to hold, but that’s not unusual for a 10-inch tablet. The TriFold is very thin when unfolded, which helps.

Fold it and you get a thickness of 12.9 millimeters, which is just a bit bigger than the Galaxy Z Fold6 (12.1mm). The fact that it’s about the same thickness as a previous generation fold, but with a considerably larger screen, is impressive. This makes the volume a little more palatable.

The hardware is exquisite and the specs are top-notch, closer to the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra; there is a 200-megapixel primary camera on the back and the phone is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite. The displays are protected by ceramic glass and there’s even an IP48 dust and water resistance rating.
