Samsung’s Futuristic Galaxy Z TriFold Hits Kenya: Here’s What KSH 720,000 Gets You

The future of mobile computing has officially landed on Kenyan soil, and it comes with a price tag that matches its ambition. Fresh off its “Best of CES 2026” win in Las Vegas, the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold has been spotted at select local retailers in Nairobi.

For early adopters looking to own the first-ever triple-folding device from the Korean tech giant, the top-tier 16GB RAM and 1TB Storage configuration will set you back a cool KSH 720,000.

The 10-Inch Tablet in Your Pocket

The headline feature of the Galaxy Z TriFold is its revolutionary dual-hinge mechanism. Unlike the standard Z Fold series, this device unfolds twice to reveal a massive 10-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X display.  

When fully extended, it effectively replaces the need for a dedicated tablet, offering a 4:3 aspect ratio perfect for multitasking with Samsung’s enhanced One UI 8.1. When folded, the device retains a usable 6.5-inch cover screen, though it is understandably thicker than a traditional “slab” phone, measuring roughly 12.9mm.  

Performance: No Compromises

At KSH 720,000, you aren’t just paying for a fancy hinge. The internal hardware is as cutting-edge as it gets:

• Chipset: The customized Snapdragon 8 Elite “for Galaxy” (3nm architecture), optimized specifically for the TriFold’s multi-window demands.  

• Memory: A massive 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, ensuring the device can run three apps side-by-side without a hint of lag.  

• Storage: 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage, providing ample space for 8K video recordings and heavy professional files.  

• Battery: A specialized 5,600mAh silicon-carbon battery designed to power the expansive 10-inch canvas, supported by 45W fast charging.  

Pro-Grade Optics

Samsung hasn’t skimped on the cameras to save space. The TriFold inherits the powerhouse sensor from the S25 Ultra

Is It Worth the Investment?

While KSH 720,000 is an eye-watering sum—equivalent to a decent used car—the Galaxy Z TriFold is a “halo product.” It is designed for the ultra-enthusiast or the C-suite professional who wants a single device that functions as a phone, a tablet, and (via Wireless DeX) a portable workstation.

With limited global production units, these local “spottings” are likely small batches of imported units. If you are looking to be the first in the country to unfold a 10-inch screen in a coffee shop, the price of admission is officially set.
