Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold: Custom build with 9,600 mAh Si/C battery
The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold was launched last December with a 5,600 mAh battery. This is not only smaller than that of non-folding smartphones, but also smaller than that of its direct foldable competitors, which now boast battery capacities of up to 6,000 mAh.
The reason lies in the silicon-carbon batteries used, whose technology Samsung is currently avoiding for the new Galaxy S26 series once again.

The video above shows the entire project. We’ve linked directly to the point where it gets interesting – at the Mobile World Congress with the fully modified Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold.
The first Galaxy Z TriFold arrived Early December 2025. It features a foldable 10-inch main display with a resolution of 2,160 x 1,584 pixels, an adaptive refresh rate of 1–120 Hz, and a peak brightness of 1,600 nits. A small cutout on the right side houses the 10-megapixel selfie camera. As with the other foldable smartphones in the Z series, a screen protector comes pre-installed.
The drive is taken over by the Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset from the year before last, just like at the Galaxy Z Fold7, which is a generation behind the current Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip. It also includes 16 GB of RAM and either 512 GB or 1 TB of storage space.
