Episode notes
Tri-Fold Brings Phone-Tablet Convergence
- Samsung's Galaxy Z Trifold opens to a 10-inch tablet while folding to a 6.5-inch phone, blending phone and tablet use.
- It uses two titanium hinges, a 200,000-cycle multifolding test, and likely will cost around $2,500 USD at launch.
Unique Inward Folding Design
- The tri-fold's center and side panels vary in thickness so both side panels fold inward to cover the center panel rather than Z-folding.
- Samsung claims the main display endures roughly five years of heavy folding and supports DeX but not the S Pen.
Don’t Buy Early Without A Need
- Expect the Galaxy Z Trifold to be an early-adopter product with niche appeal and high price.
- Consider waiting for wider adoption before paying a premium unless you need cutting-edge foldable features now.
