Patents Detail Samsung’s Tri-Fold Phone With Two Hinges and Three Batteries

Regulatory drawings offer the clearest look yet at Samsung’s tri-fold architecture without confirming final specs or launch plans.

Overview

  • Newly published KIPRIS filings depict a three-panel device joined by two hinges that becomes notably slim when fully unfolded.
  • Sketches indicate three distinct battery cells: the smallest (T1) under the rear camera segment, the largest (T2) in the middle panel, and a mid-sized (T3) in the cover-display section.
  • The patent documents do not list individual or total capacities or charging speeds.
  • Multiple reports point to a late-October reveal, with Yonhap citing the APEC summit in Gyeongju, though Samsung has not confirmed timing.
  • Coverage suggests a limited initial release focused on South Korea and China and unconfirmed flagship-level specs such as a Snapdragon 8 Elite, up to 16GB RAM, a 200MP camera, and an approximately 10-inch unfolded AMOLED display.
