Gizmodo••technology
Key Points:
- Samsung’s Galaxy Z Trifold is a large dual-hinge foldable phone that unfolds into a 10-inch tablet-sized display, offering a significantly larger screen than traditional foldables like the Z Fold 7.
- At CES 2026, hands-on experience revealed the device feels sturdy and durable, with less visible hinge creases and a grippy carbon fiber-like finish, despite its bulky closed form.
- The Z Trifold supports Samsung DeX mode, allowing multiple apps to run simultaneously with resizable windows, potentially replacing the need for a laptop or tablet accessories.
- Battery life may be a concern with its 5,600mAh battery, which is smaller than some competitors, and the external screen is prone to fingerprint
