It's looking more and more likely that Samsung will follow Huawei's suit with its very own tri-folding device at some point this year, but you shouldn't expect a very wide release or reasonable price point from it.
I do. The only reason I don’t want any of the current foldable phone is because they are still too small to be a proper “tablet but fits pocket when folded”.
With a tri-fold system it could easily have a main screen size beyond 10", and then it’s finally getting into proper tablet sizes.
The real strength of current foldables, and why I love mine, is it’s ability to multitask at a moment’s notice. I really like being able to open it up and have each side used for a different thing. I also like holding it like a book-like ereader.
It’s also unmatched as an emulator for ds games, which I value a lot! Maybe those things aren’t for everyone, but the form factor really suits some stuff that I like to do frequently on my phone
Does anybody actually want one of these things?

I suspect that most of the sales will be to tech reviewers on YouTube.
