Samsung is showing off some super cool foldable concepts at the ongoing Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. From what we know, Samsung plans to release a tri-fold (aka, the Galaxy G Fold) in the coming months or, more likely, early next year. On top of that, Samsung unveiled a slick-looking tri-fold flip phone, called Asymmetric Flip. In case you missed it, it looks to build on the idea of a recently revealed tri-fold patent, though it’s a whole different ballgame.
Samsung Display just showed off a tri-fold Asymmetric Flip concept
Samsung showed off the Asymmetric Flip for the first time. Essentially, it’s a tri-fold design similar to the Galaxy Z Flip 6, though without a cover display. For what it’s worth, it’s still just a concept and won’t be hitting the market anytime soon. But to be honest, it looks cool, compact, and, yes, undeniably futuristic.
In a video shared by Android Authority, we can spot the Asymmetric Flip featuring a dual-camera setup on the rear, with both lenses placed side by side. That’s much like the upcoming Flip 7 renders, though without a flash. Since it’s still a concept, I’ve got nothing to complain about. The USB-C port sits at the bottom, while the supposed power button is on the left.
That said, the fact that Samsung is showcasing such a concept at a major trade show suggests that Samsung Display is actively developing tri-fold panels for clamshell (Flip) devices as well. If everything falls into place, we might see one launch… not immediately, but eventually. After all, Samsung Display first revealed a tri-fold prototype a few years ago, and the G Fold still hasn’t hit the market. So you get what I’m hinting at.
