Critics' Take

Critics see the TriFold as an impressive piece of engineering that turns a 6.5-inch phone into a roughly 10-inch tablet, with strong multitasking and Fold 7 level performance. The $2,899 price, the thick and heavy folded body and a niche audience hold back recommendations. PCMag also notes Samsung has stopped selling it, which limits who can buy one.

“In comparison, the Galaxy Z TriFold has a relatively impressive debut, polished enough to flex its value proposition.”

“To be sure, it’s too expensive and likely only for a niche group of users with money to spare but Samsung has made quite a remarkable phone in the Galaxy Z TriFold.”

“The Galaxy Z TriFold feels unapologetically futuristic, and after a few days it genuinely starts to feel like the future in your pocket (even if it’s a chunky one).”

“The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold shows promise and is enjoyable to use, but its niche status and extremely hefty price tag make for a killer combo.”
