Samsung Gulf Electronics has unveiled its groundbreaking Galaxy Z TriFold device in the United Arab Emirates, positioning the country among an exclusive group of five global markets receiving first access to the innovative technology. The launch, occurring on December 19, 2025, represents a significant advancement in foldable device technology and underscores the UAE’s status as a regional leader in early technology adoption.
The Galaxy Z TriFold introduces an unprecedented tri-fold form factor that redefines mobile functionality, seamlessly transforming from a conventional smartphone into a expansive 10-inch tablet display. This engineering marvel incorporates Samsung’s most advanced technological components, including the specialized Snapdragon® 8 Elite for Galaxy processor, a professional-grade 200MP camera system, and the company’s largest foldable battery to date. The device’s structural integrity is ensured through reinforced Armor Aluminum framing and a newly developed titanium hinge mechanism designed for extended multi-fold durability.
Fadi Abu Shamat, Vice President and Head of the Mobile eXperience Division at Samsung Gulf Electronics, emphasized the significance of the UAE launch: “The Galaxy Z TriFold marks an important milestone in Samsung’s foldables journey. The UAE has consistently embraced our most advanced technologies early, and launching here reflects our commitment to a market that leads the region in digital adoption.”
The device’s capabilities extend beyond hardware specifications, incorporating sophisticated Galaxy AI features that enable enhanced productivity through three-app multi-window functionality, standalone Samsung DeX operation without external hardware, and advanced creative tools including Photo Assist, Generative Edit, and Sketch to Image capabilities. The integration of real-time multimodal assistance via Gemini Live further positions the device at the forefront of AI-powered mobile technology.
The UAE launch follows an exclusive preview event held at Dubai Mall on December 2, strategically timed with National Day celebrations to highlight the country’s role as an innovation hub. The Galaxy Z TriFold is now available through Samsung brand stores, authorized retail partners, and the company’s official online platform, offering consumers in the UAE pioneering access to what Samsung describes as the future of foldable smartphone technology.
