It looks like Samsung will finally reveal their foldable smartphone concept in November. In addition, it has been reported that Samsung are working toward larger foldable displays, for bigger devices such as laptops.
Creating reliable foldable displays could transform the market for 2-in-1 devices. Current laptops have set a new trend with the ability to flip or twist into tablet modes, but having a foldable display could bring additional benefits to both personal and professional use.
“Like foldable smartphones, Samsung is collaborating with display makers to develop laptops with foldable displays that will not just simply fold in and out but create new value and user experience, amid the changing market trends for laptops,” said Lee Min-cheol, vice president at marketing for PCs at Samsung.
Samsung hasn’t revealed which companies they are working with, or any expected date for a prototype or retail device. Nonetheless, the releases from Samsung don’t stop, recently they have unveiled an ARM-powered Surface-like 2-in-1 Laptop, complete with LTE connectivity and the promise of up to 20 hours battery life.
