If you have tried a Galaxy Z Fold and you thought: “It's good, but I want more screens”, we have good news. The South Korean company has patented a New folding mobile format that has four panels Connected to create a device with a huge screen which, depending on its design, can be folded to become more compact.
This quadruple folding is even more ambitious than the folding of the type of triptych that the company showed in a very short and subtle way during the unpacked event of the galaxy in which the S25 galaxy was presented; Without a doubt, it would be a revolutionary design, but it is always about to be seen if it could be realized as a commercial product.
A “multiple” mobile: four parts or panels, and three hinges
The folding mobile segment is one of the most interesting years of recent years in the world of mobile devices. About six years have passed since we started to see the first mobiles of this type during technological fairs, and some manufacturers have already gone beyond the “typical” foldable book (or the type of shell (or flip).
I mean, of course, Huawei with his companion XT, a folding mobile type like no other on the market so far. Samsung, on the other hand, confirmed that they developed such a device, a folding screen mobile with three parts or folds and two hinges. But now, a new patent of the South Korean company has revealed its next ambition: A folding mobile quadruple.
This device would be made up of Four sections of a folding screen linked to three hinges: Two simple reproaches on the sides and a double and more complex hinge system in half. The idea would be for all the parts to fold in the device, instead of the “Z” fold or the Huawei Mate XT triptych. In this way, when you open all of its parts, the device could offer the experience of a screen over 10 inches.
Being a patent, this means that the device is barely developing, or perhaps you will never see light as a commercial product. However, we must remember that Samsung has not only a mobile development division, but also a division of development and marketing of screens, Samsung Display, which constantly shows its innovative ideas and prototypes in fairs such as the MWC 2025.
The same patent also talks about the mobile triptych of Samsung, a project much more likely to be officially announced in the coming months. With luck, we will not have to wait too long to meet him.
