One other week, one other contradictory rumor relating to the demise or resurrection of the legendary Samsung Fan Version line. This time round, it is dangerous information – apparently the Galaxy S23 FE is not taking place in any case.
Which may be unhappy and all that, however then again, the identical supply brings us an extremely intriguing flip aspect to this rumor. The Korean firm is alleged to be engaged on a “Tri-Fold” system, and this “may lastly ship this 12 months”. That is the prototypical “huge if true” information, since for the previous few years we have principally had single-hinge foldables.
This guarantees to be a dual-hinge, three-part foldable, akin to a few ideas showcased by Samsung Show at CES again in January. There are not any extra particulars about this one proper now, nevertheless it’s been some time since a completely new kind issue joined the cellular world, so we’re excited. There’s additionally the truth that this system nonetheless includes folding, and that is principally a solved challenge at this level.
So whereas the shape issue itself could be new, the truth that it is an growth (each actually and figuratively) of an already present one means there’s right here the potential for it to forego all the common points that come up when one thing fully new involves the marketplace for the primary time – it is simply an additional hinge and a a extra complicated display screen for use on this case. New, sure, by no means performed earlier than, additionally sure, however not fully out of left discipline.
