Samsung's Galaxy Z TriFold Is the ‘Phablet’ You're Looking For

[Narrator] Now, this isn't a tablet, it's a phone.

It's our first look at Samsung's new Galaxy Z TriFold,

a new style of folding phone from the company

and it accompanies the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip

that are now standard.

But it technically is a tablet.

When you expand it with the two titanium hinges,

you get a sprawling 10 inch screen,

which feels much more like an Android tablet

compared to Samsung's other Folds.

Huawei showed off a similar device last year,

but it has a slightly different design.

The TriFold is very thin when unfolded,

but still fairly thick when it's closed up

at 12.9 millimeters.

Still, it's pretty shocking

how much screen time you're getting in this package,

and anyone who knows they'll utilize that real estate

likely won't mind the chunkiness.

It's kind of on par with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 from 2024.

You can put three full size apps on each of the three panels

for multitasking dream scenarios,

or just use split screen,

or expand a single app across the full display.

Since it's still a phone,

you'll likely use the main 6.5 inch front screen most often,

and it doesn't feel too different from a normal handset

if you don't mind a 309 gram weight.

This feels like the Fold we've been waiting for,

one that truly transitions a compact smartphone

into a proper big screen tablet.

Unfortunately, despite close to a decade of folding phones,

the prices for these handsets are still a premium

and serve a niche market.

This phone is only available

in a handful of countries right now

for approximately $2,500,

so expect a similarly distressing price

when it eventually releases in the US this year.
