All you need to know about the Galaxy Z TriFold's displays

The world has been waiting for Samsung to release its first dual-hinged phone-tablet hybrid for years, and that highly anticipated moment finally arrived this week.

Samsung announced the new, versatile Galaxy Z TriFold, and as you would expect, it features two displays: a traditional cover screen and a bonkers dual-folding panel on the other side. Here are all the display specs you need to know.

Galaxy Z TriFold boasts a new foldable display tech

With a 10-inch diagonal, the Galaxy Z TriFold's foldable display is the largest Samsung has ever used on a phone. It's also Samsung's first foldable panel to fold twice.

This new form factor required new advancement in foldable display technology. Although Samsung hasn't offered too many details, the company claims the following.

A reinforced overcoat has been added to a shock-absorbing display layer for better resistance across the dual-folding device.

A foldable panel as bright as the Galaxy Tab S11's

Unlike the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which has a smaller 8-inch foldable panel that shines at a peak brightness level of 2,600 nits, the Galaxy Z TriFold's 10-inch foldable screen peaks at 1,600 nits.

This is comparable to the Galaxy Z Fold 5's brightness level. Or more accurately, it's the same peak brightness level the Galaxy Tab S11 can output.

A Galaxy Z Fold 7-grade cover screen

As far as the cover screen is concerned, the Galaxy Z TriFold seems to borrow the panel from the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is not at all a bad thing.

Galaxy Z TriFold cover screen specs

6.5-inch diagonal.

Dynamic AMOLED 2X.

2560 x 1080 resolution (21:9 aspect ratio).

442 ppi.

2,600 nits of peak brightness.

Adaptive 1-120Hz refresh rate.

These specs are identical to the Galaxy Z Fold 7's cover screen, at least on paper. The one thing Samsung didn't mention is an LTPO backplane, which the Z Fold 7 has. But we'd be surprised if at least the TriFold's cover screen didn't have one. We'll keep you posted if that turns out to be the case.
