Samsung’s Most Ambitious Foldable: A Tri-Panel Design With Dual Hinges

The Galaxy Z TriFold marks Samsung’s biggest evolution in foldable engineering. Unlike single-hinge devices such as the Galaxy Z Fold 7, the TriFold utilizes two differently sized hinges—forming a tri-panel structure that folds twice. This enables the device to collapse into a compact smartphone shape and expand into a tablet-scale 10-inch screen when needed.

Samsung has opted for an inward-folding design to ensure the main display remains fully protected. To prevent damage from incorrect folding, the TriFold features an auto-alert system that triggers on-screen warnings and vibrations when improper pressure or direction is detected.

Slim Profile With Premium Materials

Despite its complexity, the Galaxy Z TriFold remains surprisingly sleek. It measures:

• 3.9 mm at its thinnest point when unfolded
  
• 12.9 mm when folded
  
• 309 g in weight
  

This is achieved through a combination of:

• Titanium hinge housing for long-term durability
  
• Advanced Armor Aluminum frame for rigidity without bulk
  
• Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on the cover
  
• Ceramic-glass fiber-reinforced polymer on the back
  

Samsung says the displays meet with minimal gap and zero contact, ensuring longevity. A reinforced overcoat and shock-absorbing display layer further improve strength across dual folds.
