We\u2019re yet to go hands-on with Samsung\u2019s TriFold, but we\u2019ve spent plenty of time with the Galaxy Z Fold 7<\/a>. Here\u2019s how the two compare on paper.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pricing and availability<\/p>\n The Galaxy TriFold isn\u2019t getting a wide rollout, with no plans for a UK release at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n Instead, it\u2019s set to come to Korea first on 12 December, followed by release in China, Taiwan, Singapore, the USA and the UAE will follow in early 2026. There\u2019s no word on potential US pricing yet, but it could be north of $2600.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n Advertisement <\/p>\n The Galaxy Z Fold 7, on the other hand, is widely available around the world following its July launch, and starts at a (still pricey, but cheaper) \u00a31,799\/$1,999.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Galaxy TriFold can be used in three ways<\/p>\n There\u2019s a big difference between the two foldables, and the clue is in the name. The new Galaxy TriFold can fold not two but three times, delivering not only the smartphone and foldable layouts we\u2019ve seen so far, but also an additional tablet mode that turns the foldable into a 10-inch tablet.\u00a0<\/p>\n Much like Huawei\u2019s top-end Mate XT<\/a>, it\u2019s comprised of three panels, though it\u2019s in a different configuration here. Unlike the competition and even the Z Fold 7, the TriFold\u2019s cover is on the rear of the device, with the two sides of the folding screen folding into the centre.\u00a0<\/p>\n Speaking of the foldable screen, it\u2019s an impressive 10 inches with a 2160 x 1584 resolution, the same LTPO-enabled 120Hz refresh rate as the Fold 7 and 1600nits peak brightness. That may not sound that much bigger than the Fold\u2019s 8-inch foldable panel on paper, but with a much shorter and wider aspect ratio, there\u2019s quite a difference in reality.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n Advertisement <\/p>\n Interestingly, despite such a big difference in terms of foldable screen tech, the 6.5-inch AMOLED, 120Hz LTPO cover screen remains the same regardless of the foldable you opt for.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Galaxy TriFold is thinner, but the Fold 7 is lighter<\/p>\n The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 already impressed us with its new ultra-thin chassis, measuring in at just 4.2mm thick unfolded and 8.9mm when folded, but the TriFold takes things to the next level.\u00a0<\/p>\n The new foldable measures in at just 3.9mm at its thinnest point \u2013 discounting the rather obvious camera bump, of course \u2013 when unfolded into its tablet form. The catch is that Samsung hasn\u2019t shared just how thick the phone will be in its smartphone form \u2013 and with an additional panel to incorporate, it\u2019s safe to assume it\u2019ll be thicker than the Fold 7.\u00a0<\/p>\n Where the Fold 7 wins, however, is in the weight department. At 215g, it\u2019s not just 94g lighter than the 308g TriFold, but it\u2019s one of the lightest book-style foldables around right now. It\u2019s also lighter than the regular Galaxy S25 Ultra<\/a> \u2013 and that\u2019s saying something.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Galaxy TriFold has a bigger battery \u2013 but not by much<\/p>\n With a bigger 10-inch foldable panel to power, it\u2019s clear that Samsung had to pack a bigger cell than the 4400mAh alternative found in the Z Fold 7 \u2013 and it did. But not by as much as some were likely expecting.<\/p>\n \n Advertisement <\/p>\n Despite splitting the battery into three cells \u2013 in each of the panels of the device \u2013 the TriFold only offers a total capacity of 5,600mAh. It\u2019s clear that Samsung, yet again, has decided against the superior silicon-carbon battery tech that enables much higher capacities without the associated thickness.\u00a0<\/p>\n Whether this will be enough to power the big-screen foldable all day is yet to be seen. And, just like the Z Fold 7, the TriFold caps out at the same 45W wired charging. That\u2019s fine, but not exactly the fastest out there.\u00a0<\/p>\n Both offer the same camera setup<\/p>\n Despite the big difference in pricing between the two foldables, both offer the exact same combination of cameras.<\/p>\n \n Advertisement <\/p>\n![\"Samsung](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Samsung-Galaxy-TriFold-820x461.jpg\")
