What’s happened? Samsung has unveiled its highly anticipated tri-fold smartphone ahead of its official launch.

  • According to Chosun, the company showcased the device at the K-Tech Showcase, a supplementary event of the upcoming APEC Summit.
  • Although Samsung did not allow attendees to interact with the device, images from the event confirm the design highlighted in previous leaks.
  • Demo units on display showed the phone in its folded and unfolded states, while an animation showcased its folding mechanism.
  • Unfortunately, Samsung did not reveal details about the device’s specifications or pricing at the event.

Why is this important? Following months of leaks and speculation, this marks our first official look at Samsung’s tri-fold smartphone.

  • Samsung is expected to share more details later this week at the APEC Summit in Gyeongju, South Korea.
  • Recent reports suggest that the device will feature a 6.5-inch cover screen and a massive 10-inch foldable display.
  • Samsung will reportedly launch the device in a handful of markets, with veteran leaker Evan Blass suggesting it may not arrive in the US.

Why should I care? If you like to stay on the cutting edge of smartphone innovation, the tri-fold phone is one of Samsung’s most ambitious devices yet.

  • After years of playing it safe with the Galaxy Z Fold lineup, this new design marks a major leap forward.
  • Its large foldable display effectively lets you carry a tablet in your pocket, though the tri-fold design will make it a little thicker than the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Mocha Frame is a new iOS app

You're probably not a stranger to filters for your social media uploads. While some apps just fix up your shots with minor touch-ups, others want to change the entire look and feel. Mocha Frame takes things a little further. It doesn't just clean up your shots; it lets you frame them up or sign them before sharing them.

Mocha Frame, highlighted in a Reddit post by its developer, is an iPhone app built around presentation rather than heavy edits. The developer describes it as a tool for giving photos a cleaner, more elegant look before sharing, with minimal frames, Polaroid-style frames, creative collage layouts, and themed frames for different moods and festivals.

Pushing Red Magic's liquid cooled gaming phone past the normal smartphone limit
Red Magic 11S Pro Review

One look at the Red Magic 11S Pro, and you can tell it's not trying to be subtle. This isn’t chasing the overly polished look and feel of a modern flagship smartphone. It isn’t trying to convince you it’s a great camera phone, either. This thing looks like it escaped from the desk of someone who still thinks transparent electronics are the peak of industrial design.

Many phones call themselves gaming phones, then spend half their time trying to look normal. The Red Magic 11S Pro has no such insecurity.

The Nightfreeze unit I tested looked sleek.
