www.phonescoop.com
external-link
Samsung has announced the Galaxy Z TriFold, a foldable phone comprised of three ultra-thin (~4mm) panels and two sets of hinges, that unfolds into a 10-inch tablet. When closed, it resembles a standard smartphone with a 6.5-inch display that is 12.9mm thick.

      Well phones already vibrate so they’re ahead of the curve in that regard.

      Why are you confuse? Battery will last a day? Maybe half of day. Screen? What about three folded screens? The power is immense.

    Impressive from an engineering standpoint and it’s only going to get more refined. Give it 5-10 years and maybe they will be durable enough for regular use.

    I guess i don’t really see the point. Is there a strong use case out there, or is this a marge’s potato? (“I just think they’re neat”)

      What is the point of current folding phones? I still fail to grasp that. This, however, seems more clear. It’s a phone that can become a full on tablet. This is a true transformation into an otherwise disparate device. A phone that becomes a slightly bigger phone is the real mystery to me.

        When you try to look at a spreadsheet and there are too many columns even in portrait mode, I open up the phone.

        For some reason nobody figured out “zoom all the way out” functionality on the phone yet
