A Revolutionary Tri-Fold Design
Chinese smartphone brand Infinix has introduced a groundbreaking tri-fold phone concept, the Zero Series Mini Tri-Fold, at the 2025 Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. This innovative device folds down to the size of a credit card and can function as a clip-on camera, offering unmatched versatility.
The device features two evenly spaced hinges, allowing it to transition between three distinct modes:
- Fully unfolded – Functions like a conventional smartphone.
- Single fold – Becomes a compact dual-screen device, perfect for gym equipment or a car dashboard.
- Fully folded – Reduces to its smallest form, operating as a wearable clip-on camera.
Seamless Adaptability for Modern Lifestyles
According to Infinix, the Zero Series Mini Tri-Fold is not just another foldable phone but a revolutionary transformation of mobile technology. The brand envisions the phone enhancing mobility, creativity, and daily functionality in new and dynamic ways.
- Hands-free fitness & entertainment: The dual-screen mode allows the device to attach to gym equipment or bike handlebars for workout tracking, navigation, or media playback.
- Multilingual conversations: A split-screen translation feature enables real-time bilingual conversations, displaying text or video on one side and its translation on the other.
- Enhanced photography: Users can take high-quality selfies using the main camera, while the second screen acts as a preview display.
- Wearable recording: In its most compact form, the device serves as a clip-on camera that can attach to a backpack strap, allowing for on-the-go video recording.
Designed for the Next Generation
Infinix, a subsidiary of Transsion, focuses on youth-oriented innovations. The Zero Series Mini Tri-Fold aligns with the growing demand for more than just larger screens—it offers a multifunctional, adaptable solution that replaces multiple gadgets with one device.
“As foldable technology evolves, young consumers seek devices that seamlessly integrate into their lifestyles,” said Infinix. “The Zero Series Mini Tri-Fold is a visionary glimpse into the future, combining innovation, practicality, and aesthetics in one cutting-edge device.”
Expanding the Boundaries of Smartphone Innovation
At MWC 2025, Infinix also unveiled other futuristic smartphone concepts, including:
- A solar-powered phone that harnesses ambient light for recharging.
- A color-changing phone that adjusts its backplate based on mood or environmental factors.
The event also saw Lenovo reveal a solar-powered laptop, signaling a potential shift toward ambient light-powered personal gadgets.
