Samsung is reportedly working on a tri-fold smartphone, aiming to rival Huawei’s Mate XT Ultimate Design, which debuted in September.
The company received a patent for a flexible display device featuring three screens and advanced durability features, hinting at the possible release of this tri-fold device in 2025
Key Highlights from the Samsung Patent:
- Flexible Display: The patent describes a device with a flexible form factor that features three screen areas:
- First Area: This area is folded.
- Second Area: It can fold and unfold.
- Third Area: Arranged along a specific direction.
- Durability: The device will have a specialised barrier layer beneath the display panel to improve durability and reduce strain on the foldable parts. The barrier layer includes at least one opening that overlaps the second display area.
- Anti-Reflective Coating: The display may feature an anti-reflective layer on top, similar to what is used on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
- Additional Features: The tri-fold device is speculated to support multiple input methods beyond touch gestures, possibly including S-Pen support.
While the patent’s details suggest promising features, it remains uncertain if they will be incorporated into the final product.

Not all patented technologies make it into production, and it’s unclear whether Samsung’s tri-fold phone will follow these specifications.
