Samsung Electronics plans to grab attention once more by revealing its first trifold smartphone later this month. The event will happen at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in South Korea, drawing world leaders and top officials.
This marks Samsung’s debut with a device that has two hinges. It works as a standard phone or unfolds into a bigger tablet. Reports say the company will show it off at a special display of advanced Korean tech during the summit.
The APEC event, hosted in Gyeongju, offers Samsung a perfect global stage to highlight its engineering and design expertise. The company hopes the new trifold device will further solidify its position as a pioneer in smartphone innovation.
Samsung has been a key player in developing foldable phones, alongside Chinese tech giant Huawei, which introduced the world’s first trifold smartphone in China last year. Now, Samsung aims to take this unique form factor to international markets and potentially lead the next major evolution in mobile technology.
However, those attending the summit might not get to handle the new gadget just yet. Sources suggest that the trifold phone will be displayed under glass, with no hands-on access for visitors. The commercial release will take place later this year.
Samsung started foldables in 2019, and the market has boomed since. A small area back then, it’s now full of rivals, with many Chinese brands adding their own folds.
Samsung’s most recent release, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, launched in July and has received positive feedback for being thinner, lighter, and more user-friendly than its predecessors.
As competition heats up, all eyes are on how Samsung’s trifold device will perform once it officially hits the market. Adding to the excitement, Apple is reportedly preparing to launch its first foldable iPhone next year, which could further transform the smartphone landscape.
This trifold isn’t just another device for Samsung. It stretches phone design limits and paves the way for big changes in tech.
