A Japanese IT journalist, Yasuhiro Yamane, renowned for his collection of over 1,800 phones, recently traveled to South Korea to acquire a unique Samsung device. With a passion for technology and a career spanning over two decades, Yamane identifies as a “mobile phone researcher.” The launch of Samsung’s innovative Galaxy Z TriFold, a device priced at approximately $2,500, prompted his journey from Hong Kong. This tri-folding phone, first available in South Korea on December 12, captivated him with its 10-inch display, ideal for multitasking. Yamane, who first encountered Samsung through the SGH-E400 flip phone in 2003, views the Galaxy Z TriFold as an impressive tool for creators and business users managing multiple tasks.
