Here's Your Best Look Yet at Samsung’s First Tri-Fold Phone: Video

Samsung’s very first tri-fold smartphone was showcased during the K-Tech Showcase recently. It was placed behind the glass, though, and we didn’t get to see it properly. Well, that has just changed, as a video just appeared. Samsung’s first tri-fold smartphone is still behind glass, but the video does provide a much better look at it.

New video gives us the best look yet at Samsung’s first tri-fold phone

If you check out the video below, courtesy of OMG Electronics and SUBUSUNEWS, you’ll see this phone from all sides, including its thickness when folded.

The video confirms that the phone, when fully folded, offers a 6.5-inch display. When it’s fully unfolded, you get a 10-inch panel. That’s on par with what the reports have been saying.

As you’ll see in the video, this phone has a different folding mechanism than the Huawei Mate XT and Mate XTs. Those two phones include a single display, while Samsung’s handset has a separate display on the back, which activates when you fully fold the phone. Both left and right sides of this tri-fold smartphone fold inward, thus properly protecting the main display.

The video shows the phone’s back side, and cover display

The video also shows the back side of the phone when it’s fully expanded, and it basically looks like an expanded Galaxy Z Fold 7. That was to be expected, and it’s not a bad thing at all. You’re still getting three rear cameras.

You’ll also get to see its thickness when fully folded

If you check out the image below, you’ll see the thickness of the phone when folded. We still don’t know how thick it is exactly, though.

Samsung’s first tri-fold smartphone was tipped to launch during the APEC Summit, but that did not happen. The company did confirm that it’s coming before the end of the year, though.

That smartphone could arrive to the US after all. There will be another global model out there, but we’re still not sure if it’s coming to Europe or not. It’s easily possible it will arrive to the US after it makes its way to Korea and China, but we’ll see.
