Forward-looking: Samsung looks set to take phones to another level with a radical tri-fold design that unfurls into a massive 10-inch tablet display. Leaked details suggest the device will rock not one, but two screens. When folded, you'll see a relatively normal 6.49-inch outer display designed for standard smartphone duties. Unfold the phone, and the inner screen stretches out to a whopping 9.96 inches, according to an Android Headlines report that cited insider Ross Young. That's bigger than many tablets.The tri-fold approach lets Samsung sidestep some of the issues that plagued earlier foldables. Instead of the exposed outer screen getting scratched in your pocket, the main display tucks safely inwards in a G-shape when folded. This is a different approach from the likes of the Huawei Mate XT, which folds in a Z-shape and leaves part of its main screen exposed at all times.Foldable smartphones typically use flexible, plastic OLED displays instead of glass, as glass is particularly susceptible to scratches. So a G-shape implementation makes sense to protect expensive panels from harm.However, this implementation calls for two separate displays, which could make the device thicker and pricier than Huawei's Z-folding rival. Whether that added bulk would prove to be a worthy trade-off for the enhanced durability and flexibility remains to be seen.The internal name being discussed is the "Galaxy G Fold," which makes sense, following Samsung's existing Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip foldables. But details regarding specifics like the processor, cameras, and pricing are still a bit hazy. // Related StoriesWhat we do know is that Samsung isn't betting the farm on this one leaked production targets suggest they'll make fewer than 300,000 units initially. This means getting your hands on one could be tricky when it eventually launches. The release date is reportedly around Q3, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7.Still, Samsung is set to lead the charge when it comes to tri-fold devices for the worldwide market. Huawei's got a bit of a head start in the arena, but its devices are currently limited to the Chinese market. That means if Samsung's tri-folder does make it to regions like North America, it'll enjoy the distinction of being the first of its kind.
