What’s happened? Samsung has unveiled its highly anticipated tri-fold smartphone ahead of its official launch.
- According to Chosun, the company showcased the device at the K-Tech Showcase, a supplementary event of the upcoming APEC Summit.
- Although Samsung did not allow attendees to interact with the device, images from the event confirm the design highlighted in previous leaks.
- Demo units on display showed the phone in its folded and unfolded states, while an animation showcased its folding mechanism.
- Unfortunately, Samsung did not reveal details about the device’s specifications or pricing at the event.
Why is this important? Following months of leaks and speculation, this marks our first official look at Samsung’s tri-fold smartphone.
- Samsung is expected to share more details later this week at the APEC Summit in Gyeongju, South Korea.
- Recent reports suggest that the device will feature a 6.5-inch cover screen and a massive 10-inch foldable display.
- Samsung will reportedly launch the device in a handful of markets, with veteran leaker Evan Blass suggesting it may not arrive in the US.
Why should I care? If you like to stay on the cutting edge of smartphone innovation, the tri-fold phone is one of Samsung’s most ambitious devices yet.
- After years of playing it safe with the Galaxy Z Fold lineup, this new design marks a major leap forward.
- Its large foldable display effectively lets you carry a tablet in your pocket, though the tri-fold design will make it a little thicker than the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
What’s next? Samsung will likely share more details about its tri-fold phone, including its hardware specifications, price, and availability, at the APEC Summit later this week.
