Samsung has finally lifted the curtain on the Galaxy Z TriFold, its wildest foldable yet, and the first question everyone is asking is simple: how much will this three panel flagship actually cost outside Korea? The company has only confirmed pricing for its home market so far, but that is enough to build realistic estimates for the US, UK, Europe and India.
In South Korea, the Galaxy Z TriFold launches in a single Crafted Black version with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. It is listed at 3,594,000 Korean won, which currently works out to roughly 2,108 euro, 2,450 US dollars, 1,850 British pounds or about 220,140 Indian rupees. Those numbers look scary, but a straight currency conversion rarely reflects what you will actually pay once regional taxes, incentives and marketing are taken into account.
To get closer to the real picture, it helps to compare the TriFold to a more conventional foldable that we already know well. Samsung has kept a consistent pricing structure for its Galaxy Z Fold line, so the Galaxy Z Fold7 is a useful benchmark. The equivalent 12GB plus 512GB Fold7 model debuted in Korea at 2,537,700 won, which makes the new TriFold about thirty percent more expensive in Samsung’s home market.
If Samsung keeps that same thirty percent premium when it sets international prices, we can project what the Galaxy Z TriFold might cost elsewhere. Taking the Fold7 launch prices in each region and adding that premium gives us a ballpark figure for the new tri folding flagship and, honestly, it is high but not completely out of line for such ambitious hardware.
| Region | Configuration | Estimated price |
|---|---|---|
| United States | 16GB / 512GB | around 2,620 US dollars |
| United Kingdom | 16GB / 512GB | around 2,470 British pounds |
| Europe | 16GB / 512GB | around 2,756 euro |
| India | 16GB / 512GB | roughly 243,000 Indian rupees |
These figures are not official and will almost certainly be rounded for marketing purposes, but they should sit somewhere in this neighborhood. That would make the Galaxy Z TriFold one of the most expensive mainstream phones ever sold, even among foldables, and firmly position it as a halo device aimed at early adopters and professionals who can justify the price as the cost of owning experimental hardware.
Inevitably, the conversation around the TriFold will focus on value. Critics will point out that Samsung is expected to reuse a last generation chipset and a camera system that is several years old, which makes the rumored pricing feel even harder to swallow. Others will counter that the TriFold still undercuts rivals like Huawei’s Mate XT while offering full Google services and Samsung’s mature foldable ecosystem.
The reality is that the Galaxy Z TriFold is less about pure specs and more about engineering. Designing a phone that can fold in two places, keep three displays aligned and still survive daily use is incredibly difficult, and those research and development costs inevitably show up in the final price tag. Whether that asking price feels justified will depend on how much you value cutting edge form factors versus raw performance and camera innovation.
Until Samsung announces official pricing for each region, these estimates remain educated guesses rather than confirmed numbers. Still, they provide a useful starting point if you are trying to decide whether to start saving now or wait for future generations of tri folding phones that may bring the technology, and the price, a little closer to earth.

imo first gen tri fold is for beta testers with money, wait 2 or 3 years and it will be half the price and twice as good
