It heralds the birth of a new category of large screen mobile devices.
In Samsung’s decade-long experience in developing foldable devices, understanding how people use their smartphones is what helped drive the innovation required to produce the Galaxy Z TriFold.
The device is just 3.9mm at its thinnest point and offers flagship performance powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy.
When folded the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold is 12.9mm thick and a thicknesses of 4.2mm, 4mm and 3.9mm for each of the three panels.
It has a front 6.5-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display.
And when unfolded twice, users are presented with a 10-inch QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with 1600nits peak brightness and a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate.
The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold has unique multi-folding form factor which incorporates an inward folding design to protect the main display.
The mechanism has been precisely engineered so it is easy to open and close.
It even has an alarm if the user has folded the device incorrectly through a series of on screen alerts and vibrations.
On the camera side, the device has a 200MP main camera and the biggest battery Samsung has ever placed in a foldable phone with the capacity of 5600 mAh which runs across all three panels of the device to offer balance power delivery and all day performance.
Naturally, this Galaxy Z TriFold has Samsung’s most advanced hinges yet and incorporates two different size hinges with the dual rail structure that work in harmony and offer a smoother and more stable fold.
The foldable display also showcases new technology which includes a reinforced overcoat to add a shock absorbing layer and more durability across the dual folding device.
