Samsung Announces its First Tri-Fold Foldable Phone
www.phonescoop.com
external-link
Samsung has announced the Galaxy Z TriFold, a foldable phone comprised of three ultra-thin (~4mm) panels and two sets of hinges, that unfolds into a 10-inch tablet. When closed, it resembles a standard smartphone with a 6.5-inch display that is 12.9mm thick. Because the main screen is so large, Samsung has created a "standalone" version of Samsung DeX, meaning it can switch to a PC-like desktop mode without attaching ...

    This means that there is a wrong way to fold the phone, but the phone has automatic vibrating and visual alerts to keep you from doing that

    This technology is wasted on smartphones. We need this on laptop screens.

      Nah its perfect, I always forget or dont wanna carry my tablet, trifold is the perfect size for reading comics when I feel like it. Also a decent size screen for shows and android desktop potentially. Android desktop seems to be moving towards linux support maybe. I stopped following along.

    You know, it’s like 3 screens, so they can push you triple the amount of ads and bloat ware! Yay!

          Thanks. It would be nice to combine my phone and Kindle for less money than a regular folding phone. It would cut down a lot on doom scrolling for me.

      This is why I got a Razr. Once the technology becomes common, I dream of a regular size phone that shrinks to a matchbook or something.

        Same here. I didn’t understand why anyone would want a double thick (or now triple thick 🫨) phablet that folds out into a full tablet.

        The razr I bought two years ago is the first phone that comfortably fits in my pocket in like a decade.

    Why did they make the screens fold in? The Huawei Mate XT folds up in a z-shape, which imo makes more sense as you don’t need a ‘fourth’ outer display anymore. Seems more efficient that way.

      Because they’re fragile. You don’t want your screen to die on the first drop.

        and you don’t want it full of scratches, since cover glasses and protection cases will probably be quite complicated for these monstrosities?
