This is the first time Samsung has showcased a real-world prototype of a triple-folding smartphone, capable of expanding its screen to a maximum of 10 inches. According to numerous rumors, the device is expected to be called the Galaxy Z Trifold, marking the latest ambitious move by the South Korean company in the foldable smartphone segment.

Despite being displayed in a glass case, visitors could still clearly see some details of the product's design. The device has a folding mechanism that folds inward from both sides (in a G-shape). When fully unfolded, the phone is approximately 4.2 mm thick, similar to the Galaxy Z Fold7. The thickness when folded is around 12-15 mm. Photo: Dailian .

Although Samsung didn't reveal detailed specifications, visitors estimated the phone's screen size when fully unfolded to be around 10 inches. Notably, the crease between the hinges is "almost invisible." Photo: Korea Economic Daily .

According to rumors, each side of the phone's screen contains its own battery, extending usage time. Upon release, the product will directly compete with the Huawei Mate XT. This is the first triple-folding smartphone to be sold, and it's not yet truly perfect, with issues of durability and screen damage still present in the initial models. Photo: Korea Economic Daily .

Tech experts predict Samsung will begin mass production of its triple-folding smartphone as early as November. The device's presentation at a side event of APEC 2025 is seen as a move to highlight Samsung's technological capabilities to global leaders and businesses. (Image: Korea Economic Daily )

Samsung's triple-folding smartphone is expected to cost around $2,700 , primarily due to its complex hinge and OLED display. This is nearly double the price of the Galaxy Z Fold7, which features a book-like folding mechanism. According to the Korea Economic Daily , Samsung plans to distribute the device in South Korea and China before assessing its potential for global sales. Analysts believe this is not a short-term strategy to attract attention, but rather to demonstrate technological capabilities amidst fierce competition from Chinese manufacturers. (Image: Weibo )
