A recent patent shows how Samsung's long-awaited Galaxy X foldable smartphone might work - and there's even a design that folds into thirds
At first glance, Samsung's foldable smartphone will supposedly look like any other smartphone.
It'll fold right down the middle of the display.
You could either have the phone in a split-screen setting, with one app taking up half the display and something else on the other half...
... Or fill up the entire display with a single app.
And once you're done with it, you can fold it up.
And you're left with a neat, folded smartphone.
A "trifold" smartphone was also detailed in the patents, which looks a lot longer than the regular foldable design.
The trifold design can also fold itself.
You can open up a single fold of the smartphone to reveal a third of the display, perhaps to quickly check a notification or message.
The trifold design can be folded so it can support itself and show two of the three display sections.
Or it can be folded into a triangular shape to show you a single section of the foldable display while upright.

The ZTE Axon M is a thing of wonder, and you can buy it today if you want. But you might not actually want to buy it, as it is fairly bulky, and it's not the most powerful device.
