There’s something about foldable phones that reignites that childhood excitement within me. When I first set eyes on the original Galaxy Fold nearly a decade ago, I was awestruck that a tablet-sized screen could actually fold over and fit within my pocket. I didn’t quite believe that the technology would be so pervasive years later, and such is the speed of technology, a screen that folds just once isn’t enough anymore.
Before the end of the year, Samsung announced the Galaxy Z TriFold. It’s the latest phone to compress a small tablet into a candy-bar form factor, but while this larger, multifolding device is impressive as a technological achievement, in practice, Samsung could’ve and perhaps should’ve offered consumers more.
