The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold, unveiled final December and already discontinued in a number of markets, is 3.9-4.2mm skinny when unfolded and 12mm thick when folded. In accordance with a brand new rumor, the second-gen TriFold, which is likely to be referred to as Galaxy Z TriFold 2, may very well be thinner than the unique TriFold.

The slimmer profile of the Galaxy Z TriFold 2 could be courtesy of a brand new hinge mechanism being developed by Samsung. Nonetheless, the TriFold 2 will not be the one foldable that may profit from it, because the supply claims {that a} model of this new hinge with technical changes might be used for different single-folding Samsung smartphones.

It is unclear whether or not the single-folding Galaxy smartphones anticipated in a couple of months will include this new hinge, or whether or not those launching subsequent yr will, because the TriFold 2 itself is rumored to reach in mid-2027, and we doubt Samsung will use the brand new hinge mechanism for single-folding smartphones earlier than the second-gen TriFold.
