The Galaxy Z Trifold, in comparison, was pretty impressive, measuring 12.9mm thick and weighing 309g. Of course, this can be easily explained by the Galaxy Z Trifold&#8217;s dual-hinge design and larger 10-inch primary display. However, it&#8217;s clear that if &#8220;trifold&#8221; phones ever go mainstream, they&#8217;ll need to be thinner and lighter \u2014 and that starts with the hinge design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_Dk e_Ck\" data-container-type=\"content\">\n<div class=\"e_e e_P\">\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t want to miss the best of <em>Android Authority<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_am\"><picture class=\"e_em e_fm e_Vg\" style=\"padding-top:31.51%;aspect-ratio:676 \/ 213\"><source sizes=\"9.375rem\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png.webp 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x-64w-20h.png.webp 64w\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><img class=\"e_Wg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"Google Preferred Source Badge Lite@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"Google Preferred Source Badge Lite@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><\/picture><picture class=\"e_em e_Vg\" style=\"padding-top:31.51%;aspect-ratio:676 \/ 213\"><source sizes=\"9.375rem\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png.webp 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-64w-20h.png.webp 64w\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><img class=\"e_Wg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"Google Preferred Source Badge Dark@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"Google Preferred Source Badge Dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_P\">\n<p>The rumor claims that Samsung is aiming to introduce this updated hinge design on the Galaxy Z Trifold 2, which is still unconfirmed. It is also predicted that Samsung will implement a slightly improved hinge with &#8220;some technical adjustments&#8221; to the regular Galaxy Z Fold models. This could make the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold or Galaxy Z Flip models thinner than their predecessors, even without the completely overhauled Galaxy Z TriFold 2 hinge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_P\">\n<p>Since the Galaxy Z Trifold 2 is still in the rumor mill, it&#8217;s unclear whether it will ever release or not. Or, if it will reportedly sport a \u201ccompletely new hinge solution\u201d in development. There was buzz about the Galaxy Z Trifold despite its high price, heavy build, and limited production, so it would be nice to see Samsung address those aspects of a potential successor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-container-type=\"content\">\n<div class=\"e_uc e_P\">\n<p>Thank you for being a part of our community.
