Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold scores higher on the OH Rank (64 vs 40), winning 6 of 10 categories including Performance and Screen. Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold is 1.5mm wider than Huawei Mate XT Ultimate. Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold is the more recent release, from Dec 2025.
EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectations of battery endurance, charging and imaging performance) 15 months after the first tri-fold (Huawei's Mate XT) release here comes Samsung's answer. It has a lower price, better processor, 120Hz LTPO AMOLED screens, IP48 (immersible) water resistance, better software with much longer support too. It folds to completely hide the large 10" main screen and includes DeX functionality, still considered best-in-industry. This is an excellent first attempt at a tri-fold by Samsung but battery life, charging, main screen brightness and resolution as well as average camera performance offer lots of room for improvement.
Both phones here were scored by me, using the same ten categories, with no ads, sponsorships, or manufacturer relationships — this comparison is as objective and honest as it gets.
