Samsung dropped its Galaxy Z TriFold, but the device only works in two modes, which is pretty limiting compared to what Huawei did with the Mate XTs. The Korean company went with a U-shaped fold instead of a Z-shaped one, so users can either rock the 6.5-inch candy-bar setup or go full tablet at 10 inches. There's no middle option as you get with the Mate XTs, which can unfold once to match the Galaxy Z Fold 7 size, and then open again for that massive 10.2-inch screen.
Samsung reasons that the U-fold keeps the inner display safer from scratches and damage since it's way more fragile than the outer screen with its Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2. The company picked durability over flexibility, probably because people are dropping around $2,447 on this thing. At least the Galaxy Z TriFold has better specs under the hood with that Snapdragon 8 Elite chip doing the heavy lifting.
