Device Overview
The Galaxy Tri-Fold is a tablet that folds into a phone. With two hinges, it expands from a standard 6.5-inch smartphone into a massive 10.2-inch widescreen display, completely blurring the line between mobile and PC.
Common Questions
What exactly is a tri-fold display?
It is a revolutionary screen that folds in two different places using a 'Z' shape mechanism, allowing a massive 10.2-inch tablet screen to fold down into the footprint of a normal, albeit slightly thicker, smartphone.
Is the device incredibly thick and heavy?
Samsung has used a new 'Aero-Titanium' alloy and ultra-thin battery tech, so while it is thicker than a standard phone (around 12mm folded), it is surprisingly manageable and weighs around 280 grams.
How does the software handle three different screen sizes?
One UI 9.5 seamlessly transitions apps. You can use it folded like a normal phone, open one hinge for a square foldable experience, or open both for a full widescreen tablet and PC-like multitasking interface.
Is the dual-hinge mechanism durable?
Both hinges are tested for over 500,000 folds and feature a micro-brush sweeping system to keep dust out, backed by an IP58 rating for water and dust resistance.
Does it have a good battery life with such a big screen?
It packs a 6000 mAh solid-state battery split across the three panels. While heavy use on the 10-inch screen drains it faster, it comfortably lasts a full day of mixed usage.
How are the cameras positioned?
The main camera module sits on the back panel when folded, and there are two 16MP Under-Display Cameras hidden within the inner screens for video calls without any visible punch holes.
Does it support the S-Pen?
Yes, it supports the S-Pen Pro across the entire 10.2-inch canvas, making it the ultimate tool for digital artists, architects, and productivity power users.
Can I use it as a laptop replacement?
Absolutely. With built-in Samsung DeX running natively on the large screen, you can connect a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to get a complete desktop windowed experience.
How fast does the massive battery charge?
It supports 65W wired fast charging, which is capable of filling the 6000 mAh solid-state battery from 0% to 100% in just under 45 minutes.
Is there a noticeable double crease?
Because the screen bends in two places (one folding inwards, one folding outwards), Samsung used a new Ultra Thin Glass 3.0 that stretches slightly, making the creases virtually imperceptible when the screen is lit.
