The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold, showcased at CES 2026, is a bulky but innovative foldable phone with a 10-inch tablet-like display, advanced hinge technology, and durable design, offering a compelling multitasking experience despite its size and price.
Honor's Magic V5 foldable phone is notably thin at 8.8mm in the Ivory White color, making it one of the thinnest foldables, just slightly thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold 7, thanks to a specialized aerospace-grade fiber backing that enhances strength without adding bulk. However, this ultra-thin version is only available in one color, with other colors being thicker. Despite the variations, both devices are remarkably slim, reflecting the ongoing trend toward more sleek foldable smartphones.
Some Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 units are reportedly not opening completely flat, with possible hinge defects or user handling factors. No official recall or manufacturing defect has been confirmed, and Samsung's new Armor FlexHinge is designed to be more durable. The situation is still under observation as more units are reviewed.
