The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold is a remarkable feat of engineering with serious productivity potential.

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold: One-minute preview

If you leave aside the why, the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold is unquestionably a remarkable design achievement, even more so when you consider the state of folding phone art just seven short years ago.

The Galaxy Z TriFold is, after all, the great-grandchild of Samsung's original Fold, a woe-begotten device that almost single-handedly ended the category. Samsung, however, swiftly iterated, rapidly making its folding devices thinner, lighter, sturdier, and infinitely more attractive.

Virtually everything Samsung learned from that journey is on display in the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold, a powerful, thin, relatively light, and somewhat amazing device that forces you to ask yourself why you might want to keep a 10-inch tablet in your pocket.

I finally got to hold and briefly play with the TriFold at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, where the phone made its US debut, and I came away impressed at its thinness when unfolded, its compactness when folded twice, its relatively lightweight nature, and the hints of power and even camera performance.

There's much we still need to learn, such as when it will start shipping outside Korea, and what it will cost (most estimate that $2,400 is a good starting point), and how well it will hold up to real-world use.

Even so, my overall impression is of a well-built, high-quality device that effectively answers the question of whether it's possible to have both a 6.5-inch phone and a 10-inch tablet in one compact device.

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold: price and specs

In Korea the Galaxy Z TriFold starts at 3.59 million KRW, which equates to roughly $2,500 but it's hard to know if that will have any bearing on the final price, which could be significantly higher than that conversion or a bit lower. We'll have to wait until Samsung starts shipping the device outside its home market to find out.

The base model comes with 512GB of storage and 16GB of RAM, and there's no option for more storage, which is a bit of a shame. It's possible Samsung may revisit storage options at a later date, once it sees how the Korean market responds to the singular option (early reports are that the small initial run of Z Trifold stock quickly sold out).

Ultimately, while the Galaxy Z TriFold might cost as much as a well-appointed laptop, it's difficult to compare it to other foldables since this is a tri-folding device, unlike the Pixel 10 Pro Fold or even its own cousin, the Galaxy Z Fold 7. You get a lot more screen, and arguably a lot more engineering, for your money.

The Galaxy Z TriFold is another design triumph for Samsung in the foldable phone space. Yes, there are two hinges in this tightly wound product rather than one, but nothing about the execution feels incomplete or half-realized.

First of all, Samsung made the smart choice of designing the TriFold so that you fold in one side, then the other to fully protect the flexible 10-inch main screen when it's not in use. This is in contrast to Honor's Magic Triple foldable, which is designed so that one portion of its flexible display wraps over one of the hinges.

Samsung knows better. It's put so much thought and effort into how this device folds that the TriFold throws up a full-screen warning (and vibrates the device) if you're in danger of folding it incorrectly,

Yes, you heard that right: there is a right way and a very wrong way to fold the Z TriFold. It's always the left side first and then the right side on top of that. The three-segment stack then holds together tightly, so much so that it feels like one solid 12.9mm-thick unit.

Unfolded, each of the TriFold's three segments has a slightly different thickness, with the center section, at 3.9mm, being the thinnest. The other two are closer in thickness to the unfolded Z Fold 7: roughly 4.2mm.

In tablet mode, the TriFold lies almost perfectly flat, save for the camera bump. In general, the TriFold resists any attempt to keep it partially folded or unfolded; you either use it fully folded and focus on the cover screen, or unfold it as a tablet.

Folded, the TriFold resembles its cousin, the Z Fold 7, though at 309g it's substantially heavier. Unfolded, it's like the world's thinnest 10-inch tablet. Samsung, by the way, has done a remarkable job of hiding the flexible screen creases. Not only are they barely visible, but I could scarcely feel them.

The Galaxy Z TriFold is only available in one color for now: Crafted Black, which I liked, even if every surface of the TriFold appeared to be a fingerprint magnet.

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold: displays

• Relatively roomy and bright cover display
• Expansive 10-inch tablet main display
• Both screens offer high resolutions and snappy, variable refresh rates

While I didn't get a lot of time with the Galaxy Z TriFold, I can tell you that both screens are beautiful and responsive. I like that the 6.5-inch cover display doesn't feel cramped, and I don't mind the 10MP selfie camera cutout.

The flexible main display is huge, and qualifies as the first truly foldable, pocketable 10-inch tablet (it also has a small punch-out for a 10MP selfie camera, but that all but disappears on the huge screen). The display is not only fast, it's the perfect place to try out all sorts of multi-tasking and multi-desktop tricks. It's also a capable second screen for a Windows desktop, much more exciting to use than a mere Android smartphone.

Galaxy AI works especially well on the larger screen, where we used it to remove some people from a complex image during our demo session. What's notable is that the big screen can show you both the original and the AI-edited images at once in a perfectly-synced side-by-side view.

I'm sure people will be blown away when you pull this phone out, unfold it, and get to work. As for me, I did a little drawing on it with my finger, but I did long for S Pen support. However, like the Z Fold 7, the Z TriFold lacks a digitizing layer (there's no room for it at this thickness), so I'll have to be satisfied with finger or analog stylus input, at least on this first model.

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold: cameras

• 200MP sensor is now the benchmark for Samsung foldables
• Zoom is a little underpowered
• Decent selfie cameras

(Image credit: Lance Ulanoff / Future)

With the Z Trifiold, Samsung has essentially matched the camera system found on its other big-screen foldable, the Z Fold 7. Here's what you get:

• 200MP wide
• 12MP ultra-wide
• 10MP 3x telephoto
• 10MP cover-screen
• 10MP main-screen

It's a good system. The 200MP camera takes great photos, and I doubt anyone will be disappointed with the 12MP ultrawide and pair of 10MP selfie cameras. I do wish the 10x telephoto offered more than 3x optical zoom, but it's still, even in my limited experience with the device, a decent shooter.

I can't say much more about the cameras because I only shot with them in a small, controlled space, but I would not be surprised if they all perform similarly to their equivalents on on the Z Fold 7.

• The phone will ship with Android 16
• All the expected Google Gemini integration is here

This is another Android 16 system running One UI 8 or above. It's a really good platform with useful widgets and daily digests.

The two AI platforms – Samsung Galaxy AI and Google Gemini – are as deeply integrated here as they are in all other recent Galaxy-grade smartphones.

However, other than trying the Galaxy AI image editing, I didn't get to try any other AI features. I don't expect any surprises here, though, and I'm pretty certain that virtually all the AI features will look better, and in some cases work better, on the 10-inch display.

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold: Performance and battery

• Custom Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor
• Even more base RAM than the Z Fold 7
• Battery is split into three modules and, at 5,600mAh, it's huge

As with the Galaxy S25 line and the Z Fold 7, the new Z TriFold is packing the top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy. That means it's a customized CPU build that ups the GHz just a bit, which may result in better performance than you'd get from an Android phone running the standard mobile CPU.

Backing it with 16GB was a pretty smart move, too, since it'll help support all those onboard AI operations.

The system starts and ends with 512GB of storage. There's no option for a terabyte, which is surprising since this handset is so obviously aimed at business and enterprise users.

As for how well it performs, in my brief hands-on time every operation was smooth and fast – but then I didn't have the chance to really put the Galaxy Z TriFold through its paces.

The TriFold splits its large 5,600mAh battery across the device's three segments. As for what that means for battery life in daily use, we'll have to wait for our full review.

Overall, though, the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold impresses with expert design and engineering, big-screen productivity, and a flagship-level cover screen, all at a still truly pocketable size. Let's just hope it's not widely expensive.

Let's be honest – there was every chance that the surprise HBO Max smash hit The Pitt was a one-off. Following the singular shift in a Pittsburgh emergency room across an entire series, season 1 was a breath of fresh air, and an incredibly urgent one at that. But by blending its winning formula with new dynamic elements, The Pitt season 2 is just as strong... and perhaps even better.

We're picking up 10 months after the events of season 1, with our unhinged day shift staff taking over for the Fourth of July weekend. Lead Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) is a lot more grounded than his emotional breakdown in season 1, planning to leave for a three-month sabbatical after the holiday shift is over.

Unluckily for him, his substitute attending doctor has turned up early, intent on following him on his rounds and implementing her own changes along the way. Without giving anything away, Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi (Sepideh Moafi) is one to watch, assimilating into the main cast as a devilish A-type yin to Robby's laid-back and approachable yang.

We've also got the return of Langdon (Patrick Ball), who was put on temporary suspension in season 1 after stealing patient drugs to satiate his hidden addiction. As for everyone else... well, they're being thrown from the fire into the metaphorical frying pan.

In essence, The Pitt season 2 is following exactly the same structure as season 1, and without context, that should be a lazy and monotonous decision. But the ER is an abyss of unknown complications, and that's exactly why the HBO show only gets bigger and better.

The Pitt season 2 will be the jewel in the crown of 2026 television

As we learned in season 1, The Pitt has its narrative basics nailed down pat. Our ensemble cast is a smorgasbord of chaos, scattered across wards like worker ants bowing down to their Queen (or in this case, King). Dr. Al-Hashimi's presence immediately has them all on edge, proving that the minute you think you're comfortable, you really have no idea what's going on.

The core concept of each episode covering an hour of the same shift still feels fresh, and with so much going on at any given time, you'd be hard-pressed not to be completely absorbed. What I particularly admire is how much our day players – and by that, I'm referring to the characters we see wheeled in and out of the ER in a single episode – feel just as integral and important as the main cast. It's a testament to the exceptional craft that nobody feels like a spare part, with the overall editorial feel a world away from the sensationalized storylines of Grey's Anatomy.

Where the latter has strayed into engineered shock factor over the years (we've all seen the TikTok clips of patients with something weird stuck up their butts or manipulative parents holding their child hostage), The Pitt's core focus is its staff. The ever-changing dynamics between the characters is of the utmost importance, and whenever a new patient is introduced, we're seeing them through their doctors' eyes (and their personal struggles).

Langdon is a great example of this. His first day back at work is met with quiet hostility, taking it upon himself to apologies to the patient he stole medicine from. In that moment, the two are equal, though the patient is framed through Langdon's lack of responsibility. We feel we know them both on an intimately deep level, and neither is merely defined by their relationship roles.

In truth, there isn't a single individual storyline that doesn't feel intriguing. Dana (Katherine LaNasa) has returned to work after threatening to quit at the end of season 1, Mel (Taylor Dearden) faces a deposition and Whitaker (Gerran Howell) has quietly worked up the ranks and now assumes more of the shared workload. Season 1 laid the groundwork for us to fully invest in them, and season 2 is letting them freely flourish or fail.

While watching season 1, I didn't think anything could top the sudden introduction of a school shooting in episode 12. But once again, The Pitt season has kept me on my toes. There's no spoilers here, but the new series takes the same energy and splits it into two separate strands, providing shrewd social commentary from multiple perspectives.

The tension never drops, and the level of concentration needed to keep up with all the moving parts means minimal distractions (so no scrolling on your phone at the same time). I've never once been interested in working as a doctor, but week-after-week, I know the jargon and could put voluntary hospital work on my CV.

Here's the one and only kicker: as lucky as I've been to access The Pitt season 2 early, I (and my fellow press) have only seen nine out of 15 episodes. We're left on a life-threatening cliffhanger, and in full transparency, we've got no idea if the new season sticks the ending.

The Fourth of July weekend was a genius choice to naturally up the stakes, and that means dramatic intensity is a given. The first nine episodes throw both us and its cast into the deep end, but as the day draws on, who knows what abhorrent disasters we'll all have to deal with.

Logically, I know from experience that our next season finale is likely to be a slam dunk. Episodes 12-15 of season 1 were my favorite part of the viewing experience, beautifully weaving together the show's intersecting storylines while still giving us enough peril and mystery to last for another season. Can HBO Max do it again? You bet.
