Samsung seems ready to finally show the world what's next in foldable design - its first tri-fold smartphone. After years of prototypes and teasers, the company reportedly displayed the device behind glass at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in South Korea this week.
While Samsung hasn't confirmed if this is the final version, the move signals that the long-awaited tri-fold is nearly ready for launch - possibly later this year.
Samsung Tri-Fold: What We Know So Far
From what's been shown, the device folds twice - both sides folding inward like a "G." When closed, it looks like a regular phone, but open it up, and you're greeted with a much larger display, expected to measure around 10 inches. That's notably bigger than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold7, which offers an 8-inch unfolded screen.
Inside, reports hint at Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and a 200MP main camera with 100x zoom. Samsung is also said to be optimizing software for its unique three-screen setup, allowing multitasking across different panels.
But it won't be for everyone - at least initially. Production is rumored to be limited to 50,000 200,000 units, and the expected price tag hovers around $2,800, making it one of Samsung's most premium devices to date.
If all goes as planned, the launch could mark the beginning of a new category - one that blurs the lines between phone, tablet, and even laptop.
However, Samsung hasn't revealed an official name yet (rumors suggest "Galaxy Z TriFold" or "Galaxy G Fold"), the company has confirmed that the device will reach users within this year. Expect it to launch in select markets, including South Korea, the US, China, and the UAE.
