Pedantic nit: this thing doesn’t have three folds, the name is nonsense.

Pedantic return: it has 3 screens with 2 connecting hinges, it is therefore trifold.

trifold in American English (ˈtraiˌfould) adjective

  1. triple; threefold
  2. having three parts a trifold screen

Bifold means something that folds into two parts. Consider the bifold wallet or bifold door.

2, with 1 hinge. It’s like a normal phone but the screen number increased twofold.

The suffix “fold” in this instance refers to the number of parts, not the number of folds. As confusing as that is.
