Samsung stole the spotlight at CES 2026 with the Galaxy Z TriFold, a groundbreaking smartphone that unfolds not once but twice. The device transforms from a compact phone with a 6.5-inch screen into a fully tablet-sized device with an extended 10-inch display, though the folded profile remains notably thicker than traditional smartphones.
The Galaxy Z TriFold represents Samsung's most ambitious foldable design yet, pushing the boundaries of mobile computing by essentially fitting a tablet-class screen into a pocketable form factor. The dual-hinge mechanism allows users to configure the device in multiple ways, from traditional phone mode to laptop-style configurations for productivity tasks.
CES 2026 also showcased unexpected innovations in consumer gadgets. IKEA revealed the Kallsup, an ultra-portable cube-shaped Bluetooth speaker available in multiple colors for just $10, making premium audio accessible to budget-conscious consumers. The shockingly low price point could disrupt the portable speaker market dominated by premium brands.
