Samsung’s Galaxy Z TriFold Can Double as a Wireless PC Monitor

Second Screen mode turns the tri-fold device into a Miracast display, with an optional Windows app adding controls for layout and connectivity.

Overview

  • The Galaxy Z TriFold supports a Second Screen feature that lets it function as a wireless external display for a laptop or desktop via Miracast.
  • Users enable Second Screen in the phone’s Connected devices settings, then connect from Windows through Display settings or the Windows + K cast menu.
  • Samsung’s optional Second Screen app for Windows provides extra controls, including aspect ratio adjustments, auto connection, and power synchronization.
  • The device also offers on-device DeX and an Extended Mode for casting the phone’s screen to a monitor or TV, leveraging its roughly 10-inch OLED panel for multitasking.
  • Android Headlines reports a $3,000 price, and coverage notes it isn’t yet clear if Second Screen will be active on the TriFold out of the box at launch.
