Foldable portable consoles are nothing new. Indeed, at the time when the first devices of this type were released, with models like the Play and watch from Nintendo, several of them already existed in this format, with two screens, one upper and one lower. What would be new is Samsung entering this area, and a new patent could put us on the trail of something like this.

It's no secret Samsung supplies screens to Nintendo for models like the Switch but now, the Korean brand could take the plunge and produce its own consoles, focusing on a format that it knows well: the foldable.
The specialized site 91mobiles has spotted a patent at WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization). In this one, Samsung shows possible design for portable console.
Is Samsung Display Co.the division of the Korean company that presented it and shows a folding console, with a design in the style of the Z Flip and not that of the Z Fold, which perhaps used in landscape would be more in line with what we could all expect .
The device He would have a pair of sticks for controlconsistent with what we see in current portable consoles. It would fold inwards with them, requiring some sort of circular slot on the opposite side of each seat, for the device to close.
You would think they would use the Flex-Hinge hinge and that it would have an ultra-thin glass screen on the external side, as seen in current foldable smartphones.
There is obviously a long way to go between the patent and the production line. We're not sure if this is just a stylistic exercise or “just in case.”but Samsung has a lot of experience for this console to reveal itself and capture part of the smartphone and folding console market. Precisely that of the most intensive players.
