Samsung unveils first foldable phone

Samsung today introduced the first foldable smartphone. The new product is designed to strengthen the company's position in the electronics market. The launch of Galaxy Z TriFold will increase competition with Chinese brands. Analysts say that folding devices are expensive.

The $2,440 model folds into a 253mm display — all made up of three panels, writes xrust. The new product is almost 25% larger than the latest folding model Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.

The smartphone is equipped with the most capacious battery among Samsung's flagship models and supports ultra-fast charging, which charges the phone up to 50% in 30 minutes.

The developer said that the new foldable device is intended for a narrow segment of customers. TriFold, manufactured in South Korea, will arrive in stores across the country on December 12. Then it will begin its march through China, Singapore, Taiwan and the United Arab Emirates. The expansion is planned for a year. In the USA it is expected after the New Year holidays — in the first quarter.
