Samsung teases its first tri-fold smartphone

23 January 2025
Here it is in case you missed it.

Sort by:

Folding the screen once may have introduced quite a few challenges to overcome, but folding twice? I worry about the longevity of such a form factor.

    "The outline shown in Samsung's Unpacked presentation is of a Z-style foldable, like the Mate XT, so that may come first."

    Well that's a shame. The Flex G concept looks a lot more interesting.

      I just love Samsung for their boldness... Linda realised a year ago only reason why foldables became synonymous with them is their wide range of availablity in all regions, cause their galaxy book series is not nearly as widely available

        Even blackview Hero a flip for 400 is nothing but an expensive gimmick with useless poor durability main screen. Tghis i believe is the same issue.
        3000-5000 eur device with useless specs compared to regular bar flagships and poorly durability main screen no thanks.

Huawei have solved the display durability issues in the Mate XT Ultimate.

            Competing with a G type foldable would be better as that would differentiate it from Huawei. Last time Samsung won the format war as all foldables now fold inward and even Huawei had to cave in due to durability which is the most important factor when it comes to foldables

              "Samsung Display has already showcased two tri-fold screens, one that takes a Z-like shape similar to the Mate XT and the other that folds like a G so that there's no part of the screen exposed when the phone is fully folded.

              The outline shown in Samsung's Unpacked presentation is of a Z-style foldable, like the Mate XT, so that may come first."

              It sounds like we're going to have a scratch magnet! 💔

                    But its nothing without great user features or Samsung Dex to run natively.

If he cared about durability that much, he'd buy a rugged phone, but then again we've already seen him in rugged phones articles complaining about removable battery (of all things...). All he knows in life is to complaing, forgive him for he doesn't know any better.
