What’s happened? Samsung is reportedly planning to showcase its first tri-fold smartphone at the APEC summit in Gyeongju, South Korea later this month, with the device shown under glass and a commercial launch expected later this year.
This is important because: Samsung is stepping into a form factor rivals have already touched, and it wants the world watching. APEC gives it a global stage and a moment to reassert leadership in foldables before the next wave hits.
Why should I care? If you’ve been waiting for a bigger on-the-go screen, this could be it. A tri-hinge design means a phone that folds out to tablet territory, better for video, reading, and side-by-side apps.
Okay, so what’s next? The summit stage should cue the next steps Samsung might take. Watch out for official communication on timing, market, and software.
