The way Samsung designed the TriFold, it can only be set in two positions: Folded shut with the 6.5-inch cover screen or fully opened to the 10-inch inner display. This is different from the Huawei Mate XT, which can be used in three modes: using 1/3 of its display as a 6.4-inch slab phone, opening one portion to use a larger 7.9-inch screen size, and then opening it all the way to use the full 10.2-inch display.

Hmm. A little annoying.

Part of me wonders if they're going to figure out another orientation that'll work later on, like having the two inner folds tucked back in a way that lets you prop up the outer screen or something. Regardless, I personally prefer the way Samsung has done it because those foldable screens don't really instill a ton confidence in me when it comes to durability and having it on the outside (and wrapped around the edge, as in the case of the Mate XT) skeeves me out.
