with shell fold, two folds, extendable screens …

Samsung is relying on its foldable phones, which gradually bring more benefits as they increase their popularity in the market, which the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and its more contained price has helped. Now, Samsung showed some of its prototypes at CES in Las Vegas when it comes to foldable mobiles, and there are three very interesting new modalities: the Samsung S Fold, G Fold, Flex Note and Flex Slidable, which are the provisional names they have received.

Samsung Fold S and G, devices with two folds

First, Samsung showed two-ply devices, which have the advantage of considerably lengthening your screen, which can literally transform a smartphone into a tablet. The Galaxy Fold S and Fold G share this feature, but in different ways.

The Galaxy fold s These are the ones that fold up, but keeping a screen visible so that you can use the device – whether it’s a mobile or a tablet – even if it’s not fully open.

For their part, Galaxy fold g They have a structure that makes the device unusable if folded, as it would cover all the different areas of the screen.

Samsung Flex Note

This type of device would have a horizontal or vertical fold, depending on how you want to view it, and they would have the common thread of bring folding technology to large screens.

The format is compatible with tablets, which could offer them many possibilities in terms of mobility, being able to contain a large screen of approximately 17 inches in a space similar to that of a conventional 10 inch tablet.

This implementation can allow the use of one of the parts of the screen as a virtual keyboard or “graphics tablet”. It can bring many benefits,

Samsung Sliding Flex

The Korean company has also opted for rollable smartphones, and its Flex Slidable range illustrates this concept in which the width of the panel can be slightly extended by means of a mechanism that has on its edge.

This enlarged panel it is activated by pressing a button on the left side, and it can have different functions depending on the application and its content, such as the shortcut display function.

They will surely arrive more features that take advantage of this wider screen width, in addition to the possibility of adapting the content to the new image format. Now it only remains to see how these prototypes come to fruition.
