Samsung Galaxy Z Tri Fold Impressions: NOW It Makes Sense!

MKBHD argues the Samsung Galaxy Z Tri Fold’s widescreen 10-inch tablet form factor finally makes foldables worthwhile.

• Trifold unfolds to a 10-inch 16:9 display vs. the square 8-inch of regular folds — the rectangular aspect ratio is the key differentiator.
• Priced ~$2,500 imported from Samsung Korea; MKBHD expects US retail $2,500–$3,000.
• At 309g and 12.9mm closed, it’s thinner than Galaxy Z Fold 1–5 despite holding three screens.
• Battery is only 5,600 mAh split across three columns — undersized for a 10-inch screen; silicon-carbon upgrade not yet included.
• Interior display brightness capped at 1,600 nits vs. 2,600 nits on the cover screen — outdoor use is limited.
• Samsung DeX runs natively on-device without a monitor — unique among Samsung phones.
• Folds in U-shape (interior screen protected) unlike Huawei Mate XT’s Z-fold (exterior screen always exposed).
• MKBHD flags durability as the primary asterisk: screen folds in two directions with two different radii, no long-term data yet.
