We had previously reported on Samsung working on a new foldable device that had a display that can bend three times. Now, a new patent further hints that the company appears to be fleshing out its plans for a unique upcoming handset. It also offers us a look at new details and visuals of its Tri Folding Galaxy phone.

Samsung

According to a LetsGoDigital report, the South Korean tech giant filed an extensive patent with the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) that details its new foldable smartphone. For those unaware, we had covered a number of patents related to a Tri Folding smartphone from Samsung back in 2020. This year, we had even reported on the brand working on a tri folding tablet as well. Now, the latest patent is for a smartphone that has a display that bends in a “Z” format.

All of these documents only point that Samsung is clearly planning on building this triple folding device. The newest patent showcases even more details about the new breed of foldable phones. This handset features three separate screens that can unfold out to become one large and seamless display. Furthermore, this smartphone also features two hinges, with one folding inward while the other folding outward to form the “Z” shape, similar to certain previous patents. This model will reportedly arrive with S Pen support, under display camera, an HDMI connector, and more.

Samsung

As of right now, the company is the market leader in the foldable smartphone segment. So it arrives as no surprise that Samsung is looking to further expand its presence to maintain its dominance. It is still unknown if the brand is actually working on this device or covering all bases, but looking at the number of tri folding patents we have covered, we can speculate that at least one of these will likely be worked on even further.
