UAE Gains Early Access to Samsung’s Galaxy Z TriFold

The United Arab Emirates is among only five countries worldwide to receive early access to Samsung’s latest foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Z TriFold, highlighting the country’s status as a regional hub for early technology adoption. The device was first previewed at an exclusive event in Dubai Mall on December 2, coinciding with the UAE’s National Day celebrations, emphasizing the nation’s role as a launch platform for next-generation innovations.

“The Galaxy Z TriFold marks an important milestone in Samsung’s foldables journey,” said Fadi Abu Shamat, Vice President and Head of the Mobile eXperience Division at Samsung Gulf Electronics. “The UAE has consistently embraced our most advanced technologies early, and launching the Galaxy Z TriFold here reflects our commitment to a market that leads the region in digital adoption.”

The Galaxy Z TriFold features a tri-folding design that transforms the device from a compact smartphone into a 10-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display. This allows users to switch effortlessly between phone, tablet, and multi-window productivity modes. The device is powered by the Snapdragon® 8 Elite for Galaxy processor and is equipped with a 200-megapixel camera system, Samsung’s largest foldable battery to date, a reinforced Armor Aluminum frame, and a newly engineered titanium hinge designed to withstand repeated folding.

Samsung has enhanced the Galaxy Z TriFold’s productivity and creativity capabilities with Galaxy AI. Users can take advantage of three-app multi-window layouts, standalone Samsung DeX without external hardware, and advanced creative tools including Photo Assist, Generative Edit, Sketch to Image, and real-time multimodal assistance through Gemini Live. These features aim to provide a seamless experience for both professional and personal use, bridging the gap between mobile convenience and desktop-level productivity.

The device is now available in the UAE at Samsung brand stores, select retail partners, and online at Samsung.com, giving consumers first access to what the company describes as the future of foldable smartphones. Samsung’s rollout in the UAE underscores the nation’s reputation as a technology-forward market that adopts cutting-edge devices ahead of the wider region.

The launch of the Galaxy Z TriFold adds to Samsung’s growing portfolio of foldables, reflecting the company’s continued investment in advancing smartphone design and user experiences. By combining high-performance hardware, innovative folding mechanics, and AI-driven productivity tools, the Galaxy Z TriFold is positioned as a device that transforms the way users interact with mobile technology.
