Samsung's trifold phone is still in development and expected to launch in the future.
It's almost ready for launch, but you might want to hold off on buying one right away.

A New Foldable Design Emerges
Why is another foldable significant? It expands possibilities. The foldable market is largely split between book-style Folds and clamshell Flips. Samsung aims to enter the next major category before competitors like Huawei, which already has a second-generation trifold, dominate this device type. Samsung is attempting to catch up and potentially lead in this sector.
Realistically, this device is not for everyone. With the Galaxy Z Fold 7 nearing $2,000, this trifold will likely be pricier, making it among the most expensive phones. It's for early adopters and tech enthusiasts willing to pay for a glimpse of the future. The initial version of any new design is typically flawed—costly, somewhat clumsy, and with software issues. This will likely follow suit.

Is it worth saving for?
I’m both enthusiastic and doubtful. The idea of a phone unfolding into a large, nearly square tablet screen is appealing for productivity. However, practical concerns arise. How heavy and bulky will it be? How will the software manage three separate screens? And the price will be a significant obstacle for most people.
Recommended Stories
I would hesitate to recommend buying this first version. Although it may not be readily available in U.S. stores, for those who can access it, it may feel more like a prototype than a refined product for general consumers. I look forward to seeing it and trying it out, but it will probably be a device to admire while waiting for the second or third version to resolve its problems. It will likely be a fascinating piece of technology, but perhaps not very practical initially.
Leaked images indicate Samsung is exploring a different direction for its upcoming trifold.
