The long-rumored Samsung Galaxy tri-fold might not be entirely mythological after all, if a newly-published patent is anything to go by.
The US Patent and Trademark Office has publicized a patent document that details design specifications for a tri-fold device alongside a conventional booklet-style foldable device.
The patent document, originally filed by Samsung in 2021, depicts a tri-fold device with a Z-shaped hinge, similar to the Huawei Mate XT.
The Mate XT became the world’s first tri-fold device when it launched in September, but it remains a China-exclusive device at the time of writing – leaving global markets open for Samsung or another competitor.
As MSPowerUser reports, the Samsung patent details new screen technology such as a strengthened barrier layer to protect the inner display with openings to reduce strain at the hinges. The design also includes an anti-reflective coating made of synthetic resin or another unspecified material.
Other construction materials mentioned include glass and stainless steel.

(Image credit: US Patent and Trademark Office)Samsung has long been tipped as the likely leader in the race to release a globally available tri-fold phone, which would sit alongside the company's Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. Indeed, we recently reported on claims from Korea that Samsung is looking into new phone form factors.
Prior to this, we reported that a leaked codename for a new foldable model with no analog in the current Samsung lineup may refer to a potential tri-fold device.
Though this new (or rather, newly discovered) patent doesn’t confirm that the proposed Samsung tri-fold is due for release, or even in the works, it does tell us that Samsung has given serious consideration to the tri-fold concept.
With how much we’re hearing about a Samsung tri-fold at the moment, it’s hard not to take this as an encouraging sign – though it’s important to remember that most of the above is based on rumors for the time being.
It’ll be up to Samsung to confirm the development of a tri-fold Galaxy device, if and when it sees fit, so be sure to keep up with our Samsung phones coverage to catch the latest updates.
You might also likeDevious North Korean state-sponsored threat actors known as BlueNoroff have been spotted deploying a brand new piece of malware to attack their victims.
Cybersecurity researchers SentinelLabs sounded the alarm on the new campaign, noting BlueNoroff is a subgroup of Lazarus, an infamous North Korean organization that mostly targets cryptocurrency businesses and individuals in the West. It is attributed with some of the biggest crypto heists in history.
Usually, the group would “groom” their victims on social media, before deploying any malware. In this campaign, however, they’ve decided for a more direct approach.
Hidden RiskAs SentinelLabs explains, BlueNoroff targets its victims, mostly crypto businesses, with a phishing email seemingly forwarded from a crypto influencer.
The email contains fake news about the latest developments in the cryptocurrency sector, in the form of a .PDF file that redirects victims to a website under the attackers’ control. That website will sometimes serve a benign Bitcoin ETF document, and sometimes a malicious file called “Hidden Risk Behind New Surge of Bitcoin Price.app”.
The name is taken from a genuine academic paper from the University of Texas, the researchers added. The entire campaign is thus named “Hidden Risk”.
The malware comes in multiple stages. The first stage is a dropper app, signed with a valid Apple Developer ID, which was revoked in the meantime. This dropper will download a decoy PDF file which should keep the victim busy while the second-stage payload is deployed in the background.
This payload is called “growth”, and its goal is to establish persistence and open up a back door to the infected device. It only works on macOS devices, running on Intel or Apple silicon, with the Rosetta emulation framework. The final stage is to check in with the C2 server for new commands every minute, which include downloading and running additional payloads, running shell commands, or terminating the process.
The campaign has been active for at least a year, the researchers said.

You might also likeThe Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus is the best of both worlds, sitting between a phone and a laptop. It has perks if you prefer writing text, with its included S Pen stylus, and it aces tasks that take advantage of everything the stylus has to offer. But to the casual consumer, these specialized features would likely be a waste, and I'd instead push you in the direction of the Tab A series.
The Galaxy Tab S10 Plus has exceptionally rich sound to match its beautiful AMOLED display, and it's comfortable enough to hold for a while in its landscape form factor. It's no surprise that streaming content and listening to music with the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus is so satisfying.
Close rivals, particularly from Apple, also do this exceptionally well, and the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus's $999.99 / £999 / AU$1,799 price point puts it in heated competition with Apple’s iPad Pro ($999 / £999 / AU$1,699). Still, with the included S Pen stylus, and some retailers offering the Galaxy Tab keyboard as a bundle bonus , the Tab S10 Plus looks like a better deal all-around.
Samsung still sells the Galaxy Tab S9 Plus, and its price is now more accessible, even though that tablet is a generation old. But if you want the best, you'll want the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus, and if you want a bigger screen, then consider the Tab S10 Ultra, which is the same tablet just bigger.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus: price and availabilityYou get what you pay for with the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus. The large, 12.4-inch screen surpasses most of its competitors (the similarly-priced iPad Pro is 11-inches), and if that is somehow not big enough, there's also the larger S10 Ultra (14.6-inches) to consider. The processing power – underpinned by a Mediatek Dimensity 9300+ SoC – is more than enough for an all-purpose device, but is especially capable when used to be creative.
If you’re more concerned about price, I would encourage you to consider the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Plus, as it has received a price drop now that it's not the cream of the crop. If you're a more casual user that doesn't need an art slate, you should consider something far less powerful, such as the Google Pixel Tablet (it’s still my pick of the bunch for my style of tablet use), or the 10th-generation iPad.
The Tab S10 Plus includes an S Pen as well as Samsung’s Galaxy AI suite of features, though these may eventually cost a premium at the end of 2025. Some retailers are including the Book Cover Keyboard attachment as a bundle, which makes the Tab S10 Plus an even more attractive prospect and maybe a laptop replacement. Samsung has offered this bundle with its tablets before and it’s a wonder they don’t just make it a part of every purchase.
The Galaxy Tab S10 Plus is still admittedly expensive. It costs as must as a 13-inch MacBook Air or a Microsoft Surface Pro 11. It's a brilliant device, but casual users should steer clear – it's more powerful (and more expensive) than you need. Professionals, this is for you.
Though Samsung elected to use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor in the Galaxy Tab S9 family, the tech giant has surprisingly chosen the Mediatek Dimensity 9300+ for the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus. It’s a confusing move that further separates its high-end smartphones from its high-end tablets. This year's tablet still launches at the same price as last year's.
I never noticed performance lacking. Putting quick images together in Canva, editing photos in Google Photos, and trimming and cutting up clips in CapCut never resulted in any hangups. Comparing performance through benchmarks, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor doesn't have a huge advantage. The Mediatek 9300+ chip performed better than, if not equal to, the Snapdragon on every test.
It’s worth noting that the Tab S10 Plus also comes with a MicroSD card slot in case you want to bump up the storage capacity or if you want to quickly transfer photos over from a camera. Additionally, during my testing over two weeks, I only charged the Tab S10 Plus a handful of times and it never felt like I needed to charge it every night. With such a big battery inside, charging speeds weren’t as quick as a smartphone, and 30 minutes was only enough to bump it up from 20% to 54%.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus: display (Image credit: Zachariah Kelly/TechRadar)I can’t fault the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus on its display – it’s brilliant and easily ranks among the best tablets as far as visuals go (though the Tab S10 Ultra takes the Tab S10 Plus’s 12.4-inch screen and bumps it up to 14.6-inches).
The content I watched on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus included various Twitch streams, YouTube videos, Mad Max: Fury Road and Arcane on Netflix, and Avengers Endgame and Light and Magic on Disney+. At no point did anything look bad, blurry or washed out, with the display more than capable of showing enough color and creating enough light to fill an interesting scene.
Outside of simply describing the display, Samsung’s approach to multitasking is second to none. The freedom you’re given to adjust apps running concurrently, side-by-side on the screen, with easily adjustable boundaries, feels like the real laptop-rivaling feature of the Galaxy Tab S series.
To match the strong display, the four speakers located around the device offer powerful, room-filling sound. Every piece of content I viewed felt like it had the audio to match. While cleaning my house, playing Spotify from the tablet sounded equivalent to using a smart speaker with a screen.
It’s the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus’s bread and butter to be big, with a beautiful display to match and powerful performance for any task. But parts of the design feel… Too big. Big is good for a tablet positioned as a powerful laptop rival and artistic tool, but some elements feel like they’re rubbing up against others.
It’s difficult to use the tablet in portrait mode, which I prefer when reading news articles online and taking notes. The back of the tablet looks nice but it isn't easy to hold in portrait orientation. The charging area for the S Pen, located on the back, feels rough against my fingers whether or not the pen is magnetically attached. Trying to get a better grip from the other end caused my hand to come into contact with the cameras, resulting in a similar hand feeling issue.
The pen charging on the back of the device is another issue. When the pen is attached, the tablet won’t sit flat on its back. Though the pen can magnetically attach to the edge of the display, it will not charge there – but at least it's out of the way.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus is meant to be used in landscape orientation, with the selfie camera located in the top middle, which is ideal for video calling. This mode feels perfectly comfortable.
Samsung’s approach to tablets is probably my favorite. Having a persistent app tray at the bottom of the screen just rocks, especially for quickly switching between windows. I could get a lot of work done on the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus, but it still has quirks here and there that make it a bit less user-friendly than its rivals.
My love for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus’ software mostly stems from multitasking. Being able to have two apps open concurrently, for example, having Spotify open on one side and Canva on the other, is brilliant. The Galaxy Tab S10 Plus let me drag windows freely around the screen to be placed wherever I want. I could also connect the tablet to a monitor to enable Samsung DeX, which makes the interface look a bit more like a desktop.
Samsung’s Galaxy AI suite is unimpressive. Circle to Search, which lets me circle something on the screen to instantly search for it with Google is something I use quite a lot, but I can’t think of a single other AI feature that I enjoyed using.
A lot of the features, such as Note Assist and Sketch to Image, are interesting for a moment but are ultimately inconsequential. The AI image generator feels particularly tacked on.
Handwriting Help, exclusive to the Notes app, is a handy feature for character recognition with the S Pen, cleaning up and aligning your pen handwriting and making it easier to read. A simple click in the app and your handwritten notes will convert to text. You can also convert writing to text on the fly, as you write.
As you'd expect, the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus aces its stylus support. It has good palm rejection, so I was more comfortable drawing. Navigating between tools feels simple in Samsung's native drawing and writing apps.
Not once did I have a problem with the performance of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus. Capable of smoothly running every application I opened, including Canva, Spotify, Twitter (X), Messenger, Instagram, Samsung Notes, PENUP, Google Photos, Netflix, Disney+ and Crossy Road, the Tab S10 Plus handled everything a power user would want.
That’s a relief, considering Samsung skipped the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, after including the previous Snapdragon in the Galaxy Tab S9 Plus. Instead, this tablet is underpinned by a Mediatek Dimensity 9300+, which doesn’t skip a beat.
Creating and editing images on Canva was an exceptionally fluid experience and the application was responsive and fast the entire time – even with Spotify running in the background. The same can be said for editing pics via Google Photos or writing with Samsung Notes: no hold-ups whatsoever.
The mighty 10,090 mAh Li-Po battery in the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus is so immense that, during my review, I rarely had to charge it.
You’d obviously expect this from a device with such a large battery, but it comes with the obvious drawback of slower charging. From 0%, the tablet took one hour and 50 minutes to return to 100% charge.
In testing the battery against a fairly long movie, Avengers Endgame, the tablet drained to 59% after three hours of watching. Despite a shift to MediaTek, it doesn’t seem the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus is more power hungry than previous generations.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra
If the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus isn’t big enough for you, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra offers a gigantic 14.6-inch display, which may be a bit cumbersome for some, but would also function as an effective laptop or art tablet replacement for professionals.
How I tested the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 PlusFrom the moment I received the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus, I replaced my second monitor, a small 11-inch touchscreen monitor, with it as my companion screen, using it for Spotify, scrolling social media, and streaming content while I worked at my desk.
My time with the Tab S10 Plus didn’t include all-hours use, but I did find time to edit images with it via Google Photos and Canva. I edited a video with it in CapCut and streamed a lot of movies and TV shows with the device. As far as games went, I mostly played Crossy Road.
I brought the Tab S10 Plus with me on a trip to see my family where it functioned as a good distraction for my niece. On this trip, I touched base with friends on Messenger and Instagram and doomscrolled on social media often.
For battery testing, I avoided charging the tablet as much as I could, and ran my standard Avengers Endgame beginning-to-end test closer to the end of my review period. I’d check in on the tablet’s battery now and then on days where I wasn’t using it much, and kept an eye on it on days where I was. I also depleted the battery in its entirety and timed how long it took to charge to 100%.
Most of my performance relied on real-world use relative to how I use tablets in my day-to-day life.

The handheld gaming PC market has been reignited ever since Valve released the Steam Deck - an affordable option for many gamers that inspired a new generation of rivals, including the likes of Asus’ powerful ROG Ally, and now the OneXFly F1 Pro ($1,099 / around £849 / around AU$1,660) is set to kickstart the next generation.
Using AMD’s Ryzen AI 370 and 365 APUs, OneNetbook’s F1 Pro will be the first ‘Strix Point’ APU for handheld gaming PCs as spotted by VideoCardz - they will be driven by AMD’s RDNA 3.5 architecture, which Team Red claims will improve performance and battery life. Both APUs will feature 12 Zen 5 cores and 24 threads, which could open the door for high-level performance on each model.
While we await Asus’ next move for a ROG Ally X successor (rumored to use the Ryzen Z2 Extreme APU), this will give a strong hint at what the next-gen could look like performance-wise for Strix Point handheld gaming PCs. It’s also important to note that it’ll start at $1,099 with 32GB of RAM (up to 64GB depending on the model), which is becoming a system requirement for optimal performance and visuals in many games such as Returnal.
As well as the strong APU specifications, the F1 Pro will utilize a 1080p OLED display providing direct competition to Valve’s Steam Deck OLED - though considering the Steam Deck OLED’s pricing ($549 / £479 / AU$899), it will more than likely remain a more popular option despite its weaker performance.
(Image credit: OneXPlayer) Can the OneXFly F1 Pro compete with other handheld gaming PCs?Without a doubt, the OneXFly F1 Pro will outperform current handheld gaming PCs from Valve, Asus, and Lenovo, thanks to the Ryzen AI 300 series APUs. Now, there’s no confirmation from other handheld makers (including the Nintendo Switch 2’s reveal or release date), but rumors suggest both Lenovo and Asus will use the Ryzen Z2 Extreme APU in future handhelds.
Despite the Ryzen Z2 Extreme APU being anticipated to be the weaker Strix Point silicon chip compared to the Ryzen AI 370 and 365 (according to leaks), AMD claims RDNA 3.5 could improve battery life which was a weak point for the Z1 Extreme Ally (fortunately, ROG Ally X’s battery is much better as mentioned in our review).
While this new handheld arms race is exciting, pricing could still be the deciding factor for most gamers. There are currently no reviews on OneNetbook’s new handheld gaming PC, so we will have to wait and see how it fares in terms of battery life and fan performance (cooling) - as well as overall value for money, which could really determine if it will be able to beat the Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch 2.
You might also like...Scammers have been spotted sending out fake copyright infringement violation claims as part of a new phishing campaign aiming to spread the latest version of the Rhadamanthys Stealer malware.
Cybersecurity researchers Check Point Software, who dubbed the campaign CopyRh(ight)adamanthys, noted the crooks were casting a wide net, targeting as many companies as possible.
At the same time, they were also impersonating a large number of different organizations, but due to their high online presence, and frequent copyright-related issues, the majority (70%) were from the entertainment, media, and tech industries.
End of lifeDespite Rhadamanthys being a powerful infostealer, this doesn’t seem to be a campaign orchestrated by a nation-state. Rather, the group behind the attack is most likely financially motivated. In its attack, the group uses dedicated Gmail accounts, sometimes targeting the same victim from multiple addresses. They also seem to be using AI capabilities efficiently, not just to create convincing phishing emails, but also to automate the attacks, as well.
The key of the campaign, Check Point Software argued, is to implement an updated version of Rhadamanthys. The author claims this version comes with advanced AI-driven features, a claim that was apparently refuted. The tool was proven to use older machine learning techniques, seen in optical character recognition (ORC) software.
“The attackers may be leveraging AI-enhanced automation tools to create phishing content and manage the high volume of Gmail accounts and diversified phishing needed for the campaign,” the researchers concluded.
The Rhadamanthys infostealer is a type of malware designed to steal sensitive information from infected systems, including login credentials, browser data, and cryptocurrency wallet details. It operates by capturing data from popular web browsers, email clients, and other applications where users may store credentials or personal information.
The tool can also log keys and record keystrokes, as alternative means of stealing passwords and other sensitive data. The malware is often distributed through phishing campaigns and malicious attachments.

Gaming chair manufacturer Secretlab has revealed the all-new Secretlab Skins Lite, a more affordable version of the existing Secretlab Skins line. These lightweight chair wraps help protect your gaming throne while also offering an easy way to customize its appearance.
Secretlab Skins Lite are available now from the Secretlab website and start at $99 / around £75, which is significantly below the $169 / £169 asking price for the original Secretlab Skins. They use a new material and come in a wide range of designs, including licensed looks inspired by characters like Jinx and Vi from Arcane, Goku from Dragon Ball Z, and Illidan Stormrage and The Lich King from World of Warcraft.
A number of existing Secretlab Skins designs, including the cute Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Lucy and Rebecca editions, will also be offered as Lite variants. The Skins easily fit onto the outside of your chair, with an application process that the company claims takes just three minutes to complete.
They provide complete coverage, maintaining the chair’s ergonomic shape while protecting its fabric against dirt and spills. Skins are also machine washable, which might make them a worthwhile investment if you frequently drop your gaming snacks while playing.
The Skins are compatible with Secretlab Titan Evo series chairs, which are some of the best gaming chairs and most comfortable gaming chairs on the market right now.
Elsewhere, Secretlab also recently released the Secretlab Ergonomic Recliner, another chair add-on that introduces additional leg support. This was followed by the reveal of the Secretlab Titan Evo NanoGen Edition, an enhanced version of the Secretlab Titan Evo that has exceptionally comfortable cushioning and all-new plush materials.
