Samsung presents first ‘special edition’ triple-folding phone in the market
Samsung is devoted to ethically creating superior products and services for multipurpose IT communication that contributes to a better global society and is at the forefront of professional visual-commercial displays and PC monitor solutions that are applied in a wide variety of versatile commercial settings.
The company has continued to innovate to remain a world leader in memory semiconductors, TVs, and smartphones. Samsung has continually strived to become No. 1 in the system semiconductor industry while simultaneously driving growth in areas such as AI and 5G.
Samsung launched its first triple-folding phone on Dec. 2, 2025, a special-edition product with an eye watering price tag placing it out of the reach of the average consumer. The Galaxy Z Trifold will go on sale on December 12 and costs more than twice as much as the new iPhone 17 at $2,443 (P143,000).
The new site includes separate sections for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Vision, Watch, and TV apps. It also brings the familiar “Today” tab to the web, with curated stories, top charts, and special events.
App pages now look more polished as well, with clearer icons for categories, awards, and events. There’s also a built-in search tool, so users can find apps directly.
One handy feature is the toggle in the top-left corner, which lets users switch between different App Store platforms. However, you still can’t download apps from the web version. It’s more for browsing and discovery than installation.
While Apple hasn’t shared any plans to expand the site’s functionality, this move shows a clear push toward making its app ecosystem more accessible across devices.
The leading tech giant believes that the best technology is designed with everyone in mind. That’s why their products and services have built-in features to help you create, connect, and do what you love, your way.
Apple’s long-standing commitment to accessibility is fundamental to everything they do. The tech leader trains and motivates its employees to innovate in terms of individual work performance and idea contributions for product development, design, and other processes.

Super thin, it unfolds to a 10-inch (25.4 centimeter) display, offering “increased possibilities for creating and working,” the South Korean tech giant said. The triple fold function is not world-first — China’s Huawei beat Samsung to the punch last year with a phone at a similarly exorbitant price.
Growth has been patchy in the competitive smartphone market, pushing makers to find new, eye-catching ways to differentiate their products. Offered solely in a black design, Samsung’s new device comes in at 309 grams (10.9 ounces) and at its thinnest point measures less than 0.2 inches.
Generative artificial intelligence features are integrated into the phone, which can give real-time help through screen or camera sharing. Samsung admitted the Galaxy Z Trifold was “not intended for mass sales.”
Alex Lim, executive vice-president at Samsung Electronics said it was a “special edition” product.
The launch comes as recent industry numbers suggest Apple is on track to overtake Samsung for the first time in 14 years as the world’s top smartphone maker through 2029. Apple has also long been rumored to be planning a foldable iPhone, possibly as early as next year.
The US company’s smartphone shipments are expected to reach a global share of 19.4% in 2025 while Samsung is expected to hold 18.7% — with Apple effectively dethroning its rival for the first time, according to research firm Counterpoint.
