Pre-Sales in China

In particular, Samsung has chosen to start pre-sales for the device in China before introducing it to other regions. For reference, Taiwan, Singapore, the UAE, and the US are also on the list to receive the Galaxy Z TriFold. However, it is still uncertain when these markets will get the phone. Meanwhile, Samsung has disclosed comprehensive pricing details for the device along with the available memory options.

Pricing Details

Previously, Samsung mentioned a starting price of KRW 3,590,540 (about $2,442). Now, it has specified that the Galaxy Z TriFold will be priced at CNY 19,999 in China, featuring 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. This amount is roughly $2,830.99 based on current exchange rates, taxes included, and is around CNY 5,000 (approximately $708) higher than a similar Galaxy Z Fold7 memory configuration, which is currently priced at $1,918.99 on Amazon.

Storage Options

Alternatively, the Galaxy Z TriFold can be purchased with 1 TB of storage and the same 16 GB of RAM for CNY 21,999 (around $3,115).
