This is the Daily Tech News for Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025. We tell you what you need to know,

give you some of the important context, and help each other understand. Now, listen,

AWS Reinvent is happening, and we got a lot to say about it, but today the trifold

smartphone era has officially begun. I mean,

Huawei's like it already began, but Samsung entered the chat. That's big news.

That's big news. I'm Jason Howell. I'm Tom Merritt.

Let's start with what you need to know with a big story.

That's right. Samsung has entered the room and unveiled the Galaxy Z trifold. As it sounds,

it is a triple panel foldable smartphone, a trifold phone that opens into a 10-inch tablet-like display.

Pretty much, I mean, a 10-inch tablet. Like like that's huge when it's unfolded. I can't wait

to check it out myself. When it's all folded up, it works as a 6.5-inch smartphone. So it's kind of

the best of both worlds, right? The device has two titanium-housed hinges of varied sizes. Why are they

different sizes? Well, that accommodates the fact that each panel

varies in thickness from 3.9 millimeters up to 4.2 millimeters at its thickest. I think the center panel

is that thickest one. The side panels actually fold inward to cover the center fold.

So it doesn't fold like the letter Z.

I think Huawei has a triple trifold that does that.

In this case, both panels fold inward. And Samsung says that the main display, quote,

undergoes a 200,000 cycle multi-folding test equivalent to folding the device approximately 100 times a day for five years.

So totally normal, right?

That's what I do in a day.

That's what I do in a single day.
