DUBAI, UAE — If you tried to buy the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold in Dubai this morning, you likely hit a “Notify Me” wall. In what retailers are calling the most aggressive sell-out of 2025, Samsung’s first-ever triple-folding phone vanished from shelves less than 20 minutes after its official UAE release on December 19.
Priced at a staggering AED 11,999, the device has defied economic gravity, proving that Dubai’s appetite for “first-to-market” tech is stronger than ever. But with stock dry at major retailers, where can you actually find one? And is the 10-inch screen worth the price of a used sedan?

Is Samsung Z TriFold Sold Out in UAE?
Yes. As of December 23, 2025, the Galaxy Z TriFold is listed as “Out of Stock” on the official Samsung Gulf website and Amazon.ae.
- Samsung.com: Accepting “Register Interest” only.
- MDS & Virgin Megastore: allocations fully pre-ordered.
- Sharaf DG & Jumbo: Limited physical stock reported in flagship malls (Dubai Mall/MOE), but selling fast.
Don’t rely on websites. Visit physical “Experience Stores” in Dubai Mall or Mall of the Emirates. Staff often hold small daily allocations for walk-in VIP customers that don’t show up online.
Where to Buy Samsung Z TriFold Dubai Stock
If you missed the first wave, you have three options to secure a unit before 2026:
1. Etisalat & du (Carrier Contracts)
Carriers often have separate stock piles.
- Samsung Z TriFold Etisalat offers: Currently listing the device on “Smart Pay” plans starting from approx. AED 520/month (24 months). Check the My Etisalat app directly; they prioritize existing postpaid customers over walk-ins.
- du: Expected to open a second wave of orders on December 28.
2. Buying in Installments (Tabby/Tamara)
For many, dropping 12k in one go isn’t feasible.
- Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold UAE price in installments: Retailers like Sharaf DG and Amazon are offering 4-month split payments via Tabby (approx. AED 3,000/month).
- 0% Easy Payment Plans (EPP): Samsung’s official site offers up to 24 months 0% interest with ENBD and ADCB, bringing the cost down to AED 500/month.
Is Galaxy Z TriFold Worth 12,000 AED?
The price tag is eye-watering, but the tech is undeniably “next-gen.” Here is the reality of living with a tri-fold.
Galaxy Z TriFold 10-inch Screen Multitasking
This is the killer feature. Unfolded, you get a massive 10.2-inch canvas. Unlike the Fold 7, which fits two apps comfortably, the TriFold handles three full-sized apps side-by-side without cramping.
- Use Case: You can have Outlook, Excel, and Teams open simultaneously. It is legitimately a tablet that fits in your pocket.
Galaxy Z TriFold Thickness Unfolded
Samsung engineering has pulled off a miracle here. The device is just 3.9mm thick when fully open. For context, that is thinner than an iPad Pro. However, this thinness raises concerns about durability (see below).
Samsung TriFold Snapdragon 8 Elite Performance
The UAE units ship with the exclusive Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy. In benchmarks, it is crushing the iPhone 17 Pro Max in multi-core scores, primarily because of the superior cooling afforded by the massive surface area.
Addressing the Fear: Durability & Battery
Samsung Z TriFold Battery Life vs Fold 7
With three screens, power drain is the #1 worry.
- The Good: It packs a 5,600mAh battery (split across three cells).
- The Bad: Powering a 10-inch 120Hz panel is demanding. In our early tests, the Samsung Z TriFold battery life clocks in at about 13 hours of mixed use—slightly less than the Z Fold 7 (15 hours). You will need a charger by 8 PM if you multitask heavily.
Samsung Z TriFold Crease Visibility Review
Does it have two creases? Yes. Are they visible?
- Verdict: The new “Multi-Flex Hinge” makes the creases shallower than the Fold 6, but because there are two of them, you do feel the “ridges” when swiping across the 10-inch surface. It’s a trade-off for the size.
Samsung Z TriFold 200MP Camera Test
Finally, a foldable with an “Ultra” grade camera.
- Main Lens: 200MP (same sensor as S25 Ultra).
- Zoom: 5x Optical Periscope.
- Result: No more compromises. You get the best camera system Samsung makes, attached to its best screen.
Should You Buy or Wait?
If you are a CEO, a day-trader, or a tech enthusiast with AED 12,000 to spare, the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold is the ultimate status symbol in Dubai right now. It replaces both your phone and your iPad Mini.
Buying Advice: If you find stock, grab it. Scalpers on Dubizzle are already listing units for AED 16,000+. For everyone else, wait for the January 15 restock when supply chains stabilize.
