Galaxy Z TriFold It came as a completely revolutionary double-folding mobile phone, determined to compete with the Chinese solution in the form of the HUAWEI Mate XT ULTIMATE. However, its era ended unexpectedly early - Samsung has already withdrawn it from sale and it can only be found in exceptional cases and only in a few selected stores. Now, unexpected information has emerged that Samsung was planning a wider version Galaxy Z TriFold Wide, which could have been much more successful.
Double folding Galaxy Z TriFold first published in December last year in South Korea, after a while it headed to the USA, to experience stores in Japan… and that more or less ended its era. It was a very limited edition, intended only for a few thousand The biggest question is whether Samsung has discontinued production due to declining interest or the untested technology of the double-folding display, which a few people have already started to do. difficulties.
However, the ambitions of the South Korean giant were significantly greater. patent clearly shows that it was also intended to be created the second version Galaxy Z TriFoldu – or that the current one should have been wider. Samsung was apparently toying with the same idea, which it plans to launch this summer, namely to create a wider version of the display that would give users more space for multitasking and offer easier one-handed operation.
While wide Galaxy Z Fold8 Wide it is almost confirmed, enlarged Galaxy Z TriFold Wide never came into being. Patents show that Samsung had it well thought out, but then perhaps the magnification seemed unnecessary. Not to mention how much such a version would cost, even if the regular one variait came out on $2.

Thousands of Samsung patents
The fact that Samsung patented a wide range of Galaxy Z TriFold, does not mean that he actually wanted to make it. With a bit of exaggeration, one could say that he patents whatever he thinks of. For example, recently there was news that he registered clamshell smartphone, which folds in both directions. However, there is not much hope that he would start producing such an unconventional device.
In the case of a wider Galaxy Z TriFold But there is still some hope. Along with the news of the end of production, information also emerged that Samsung is working on a model Galaxy Z TriFold2. And it could easily have wider wings than the first generation. But we don't have official confirmation yet, just as it's not certain that the second generation will even come out. If so, we can certainly look forward to another technological miracle that could catch the bugs discovered in the "first".
