In the midst of an intense buzz surrounding it on the internet, Samsung has finally unveiled its first-ever trifold phone at the APEC CEO Summit in South Korea.
Samsung's impending tri-fold folds twice instead of once and features a 6.5-inch cover screen along with a 10-inch internal foldable display.
The smartphone is armed with pinhole cameras on both screens, similar to the Galaxy Z Fold, along with three rear cameras, and is expected to run Android with Samsung's customised One UI interface.
When unfolded, the gadget is wider horizontally compared to current foldable smartphones, resembling a book shape. Its estimated cost exceeds $2,088, potentially rising above $3,000.
The Samsung tri-fold launch markets include China, South Korea, and possibly other nations with a keen interest in foldable phones, with production limited to 50,000–100,000 units.
Although Samsung's official name for the tri-fold smartphone has not yet been announced, the South Korean tech giant plans to release it before the year's end.
It will not be a mainstream device but will showcase Samsung's engineering and design capabilities. Despite advancements in foldable technology, adoption remains restricted by issues such as thickness, weight, limited battery life, and high costs.
