The company has started offering hands-on demos of the Galaxy Z TriFold at select Samsung Experience Stores in the U.S., giving people a chance to try the device before it officially goes on sale.

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Z TriFold late last year, and while the device is already available in a few regions like South Korea and parts of the Middle East, it still hasn't launched in the U.S. Samsung has only said that the phone will arrive stateside sometime in "early 2026," without sharing an exact launch date.
