  • Samsung is expected to share more details later this week at the APEC Summit in Gyeongju, South Korea.

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.
