Price Leak: Samsung’s TriFold May Cost (Just A BIT) More Than the Top Galaxy Z Fold 7

Samsung is ready to launch its first tri-fold phone. A new rumor suggests the price of the Galaxy Z TriFold will not be too shocking. It will be slightly more expensive than the current top-tier foldable phone. We should get the official price details early next month.

The rumor points to the Galaxy Z TriFold costing $2,499. This is just a little more than the priciest version of the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The Z Fold 7 base model starts at $2,000. But the top variant, with 1TB of storage, sells for $2,420. If this leak is correct, the difference is only $80. That is a tiny gap for a completely new device format.

The new TriFold phone is more than just a regular foldable. It uses a triple-folding design with two hinges. This lets it open into a massive 10-inch inner display, much bigger than the 8-inch screen on the Fold 7.

Samsung plans to drop this device soon. The launch is set for December 5 in South Korea. Experts believe the TriFold will have a limited launch at first. Samsung will build limited quantities. It wants to check sales and user feedback from early buyers. A wider launch will follow only after they are sure of its success. This confirms the TriFold is an expensive experiment for now.

It is important to look at the current price difference. Right now, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is on sale.

Thanks to Black Friday deals, the Fold 7 has a huge $400 price cut. This lowers the starting price to $1,399. The 1TB Fold 7, which usually sells for $2,419, is now down to $1,819 in the US. This deal makes the current foldable feel much cheaper than the TriFold. However, the price difference at launch is very small. Samsung seems to be deliberately pricing the new TriFold close to its existing flagship. This helps position the innovative new model better.

The Galaxy Z TriFold is a game-changing device with a massive 10-inch screen. Its launch price shows Samsung is ready to charge a premium, but only a small one, for this completely new form factor.
