Samsung could be set to expand its folding phones lineup this year with an all-new model that has two hinges instead of one – and it could offer a tablet-sized display. Currently, Samsung offers two options for people wanting to pick up a folding phone. Its clamshell Z Flip models look like regular smartphones when open, but you can fold them in half to store them in a more compact space, while its Z Fold devices open up like a book, and are a little bulkier but offers users a larger screen than a typical phone. This rumored tri-fold phone would effectively be an expansion of the existing Z Fold line – adding an extra folding panel so that we can carry around an even larger screen in our pockets.

From the above article:
On that note, while Samsung has put in a lot of effort to reduce the weakness caused by folds in phones, they’re still not perfect. Adding an extra fold would also add an additional source of potential problems which could make its tri-fold phone more hassle than its worth.

And how much are those going to cost?! No thanks, it's not worth it. I'd rather get a (new) tablet or notebook instead.

Agree completely, I like to imagine that I have the money to buy, try and discard anything I want and I post within that delusion :D

BTW, I shortened the title to fit, neurosis.

You would not get much value for the money.

A user can link an Android or iPhone to a portable monitor or laptop and cast content to it. I'm guessing that Microsoft made sure its Duo had the feature, but in all honesty I have never encountered a Duo in the wild. Is it even produced any longer? Went extinct like the Windows Phone? I won't even bother to look. Too lazy.

Windows Phone was slick with the above feature.

A trifold will be like carrying around a brick, but there are technuts out there that just gotta have it, no matter the weaknesses and high prices.
