Samsung is currently the dominant player in the foldable smartphone market. The company not only makes foldable smartphones, but it also designs, develops, and manufactures foldable screens. At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023, the company showcased various types of foldable displays, some of which are likely to get into the mainstream in the near future.
Here are all the new foldable display form factors that Samsung showcased at its booth in MWC 2023.
With an option to fold outwards or inwards, a user will still have access to the part of the display even when the device is fully folded. And this could also eliminate the requirement for a dedicated cover display like the one on the Galaxy Z Flip 4 (review) or the Galaxy Z Fold 4.
The Samsung Flex G is quite similar to the Flex S, the major difference between the two is that the Flex G can only be folded inwards. This folds in a G shape and when folded the display will be completely protected unlike the Flex S, where, one side of the display will always be visible and unprotected.
The use case for a Flex G is mostly on form factors like compact tablets. And designers can also develop a product, where, opening just one side will enable the part of the display for enhanced productivity and reduced power consumption.
The Samsung Flex Note is a display that will be mostly used on foldable laptops, similar to the Asus ZenBook 17 Fold OLED. When unfolded, a device with a Flex Note style display will offer a much bigger canvas to work on, where, the second half of the display can also be used as a keyboard or for accessing two applications at the same time. We can expect to see this technology on upcoming folding laptops.
