The equipment was displayed at Expo Grand Park, about 11 km from the conference venue. Called the K-Tech Showcase, this is an exhibition that brings together the most advanced technologies from Korean companies. In addition to Samsung Electronics, some of the corporations participating in the exhibition include Hyundai Motor, SK Group and LG Electronics. Photo: Dailian .

This is the first time Samsung has shown off a real-life prototype of a tri-fold smartphone, which can expand the screen to a maximum of 10 inches. According to many rumors, the device is expected to be called Galaxy Z Trifold, marking the Korean company's latest ambition with the foldable smartphone segment. Photo: Dailian .

Although displayed in a glass frame, visitors can still clearly see some details in the product design. The device has a mechanism to fold inward from both sides (G-shaped). When fully opened, the phone is about 4.2 mm thick, similar to the Galaxy Z Fold7. The thickness when folded is about 12-15 mm. Photo: Dailian .

While Samsung did not reveal detailed specifications, visitors estimated that the phone screen when fully opened would be around 10 inches in size. Notably, the crease between the hinges is “barely visible”. Photo: Korea Economic Daily .

According to rumors, each side of the phone's screen contains its own battery, helping to extend its usage time. When launched, the product will compete directly with the Huawei Mate XT. This is the first tri-fold smartphone to be sold, but it is not really complete as there are still durability issues, and the screen is prone to breaking on the initial models.

Tech circles predict that Samsung will mass produce the tri-fold smartphone as early as November. Demonstrating the device at the APEC 2025 side event is seen as a move to emphasize Samsung's technological potential to global leaders and businesses. Photo: Korea Economic Daily .

The price of Samsung's tri-fold smartphone could be around $2,700 , mainly due to the complex hinge and OLED panel. This figure is nearly twice as expensive as the Galaxy Z Fold7, which has a book-like folding mechanism. According to Korea Economic Daily , Samsung plans to distribute the device in Korea and China before evaluating the possibility of global sales. Analysts say this is not a short-term strategy to attract attention, but instead to demonstrate technological capabilities in the context of fierce competition from Chinese companies. Photo: Weibo .

“Samsung is using this event to assert its leadership in advanced display technology and prove that Korea is still leading the global foldable smartphone race,” an analyst in Seoul told Korea Economic Daily . Photo: Weibo .
