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.

Apple's next iPhone may not get a dramatic RAM upgrade, but it could receive just enough extra memory to keep its growing AI ambitions running smoothly. According to TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the standard iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e are expected to move from 8GB to 9GB of RAM, primarily to support deeper Apple Intelligence integration in iOS 27.

Most mindfulness apps want you to create an account, buy subscription, and give a chunk of your attention before they help you unwind. Vän, a new iPhone app from Swiss indie developer Adrian Stanco, is built to be the opposite.

I found the app on Reddit, and the pitch alone made me curious enough to try it. Instead of sounds or endless scrolling, it leans entirely on haptics, the tiny vibrations your phone is already capable of producing. The result is a feeling of calm you get by simply holding your smartphone rather than watching the screen.
