"Samsung has revealed its first tri-fold phone, and it runs the Korean giant's DeX desktop environment without the need for an external monitor. DeX debuted with 2017's Galaxy S8 range and allowed users to connect their smartphones to a monitor, keyboard, and pointing device. The software presented a WIMP interface that more closely resembled ChromeOS than Windows. The Register tested DeX and found it impressive, but also a solution in search of a problem."
"Like Huawei's Mate XT , Samsung's three-screen-machine can face the world in a form factor that looks like a conventional single-screen smartphone - the 6.5-incher, 2520 x 1080 "cover screen" - or fold out to offer a tablet-like experience in which three panes combine into a 10.0-inch 2160 x 1584 "main screen". The phone weighs 309 grams and hides a 5,600 mAh three-cell battery under each of its leaves."
"Samsung is trying to talk up this device as more than just a large phone, as the inclusion of DeX means "users can access up to four workspaces that can each run five apps simultaneously." "From there, they can review and edit a meeting presentation in one workspace and then quickly navigate to another to chat with friends and shop online.""
