You can run three apps side-by-side, two apps at once, or one big app across the whole screen.

There are two titanium hinges, and they open up three panels. You can place a full-size app on each of the three panes, use a larger version of split-screen, or expand one app across the vast display. It was easy to configure these setups, and I can totally see myself taking advantage of having three apps open simultaneously. It is still a little unwieldy to hold, but that’s not unusual for a 10-inch tablet. The TriFold is very slim in its unfolded state, which helps.

Fold it up, and you’re looking at a thickness of 12.9 millimeters, which is just a smidge chunkier than the Galaxy Z Fold6 (12.1 mm). The fact that it’s roughly the same thickness as a prior generation fold, yet with a dramatically larger screen, is impressive. It makes the bulk a little more palatable. There is a correct way to fold it, and an incorrect way. Thankfully, if you start folding it the wrong way with the right screen in first, the phone violently buzzes, and you’ll see an alert on the screen asking to fold in the other screen first. I can still picture someone ignoring this and just carrying on, though.

The hardware is exquisite, and the specs are top-notch, closer to the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra; there’s a 200-megapixel main camera on the back, and the phone is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite. The displays are protected by ceramic glass, and there’s even an IP48 dust and water resistance rating.
