According to the patent application via LetsGoDigital, IT shows off a double-folding smartphone with two hinges and three displays which can fold into a smaller Z-shaped device. When unfolded, the screen size on offer is almost the same as a small tablet making it larger than what the Galaxy Z Fold 3 currently offers.
