Overview
- Samsung displayed the tri-fold prototype behind glass at the K-Tech Showcase in Gyeongju on October 28, confirming the device’s existence without hands-on access.
- Estimates from The Korea Economic Daily cite roughly 12–15 mm thickness when folded and about 4.2 mm when unfolded, with an inner display near 10 inches.
- The thin profile has triggered industry speculation about silicon‑carbon batteries, a detail that remains unverified by Samsung.
- Samsung’s Q3 earnings guidance flags “form factor innovations” in 2026, which observers view as a potential signal for the tri-fold’s commercial window.
- Separate reports note a 2025 reference to a Samsung tri-fold in Google app code and rumors of a late‑October regional unveiling, yet Samsung has not announced availability.
