A Samsung executive reportedly spilled the beans that the company is thinking of bigger displays, beyond “regular” foldable smartphones. Get to know more about this.
Samsung is reportedly working on bigger displays for dual-fold smartphones
Huawei CEO, Richard Yu earlier this week announced that the company would be unveiling a double foldable or a dual-fold smartphone. This will be as early as September this year. Hence, news that Samsung is working on something similar does not exactly come as a surprise.
The company has showcased a lot of foldable designs in the past. But these were from Samsung Display, its display business. Therefore, the news about Samsung working on workable prototypes definitely is news. Especially, given that an earlier report pointed out that it’s struggling to make its production foldable designs thinner than its existing competitors, despite being the market leader in the space.
The news comes via PhoneArena, who pointed out quotes by Chung Yi, Executive Vice President and Head of Corporate Business Mobile/IT at Samsung Display. The Samsung Display head broadly spoke about how Samsung is developing multiple form factors for its smartphones.
The EVP also reportedly said that the company is working on foldable technologies. This would make the new AI generation of smartphones easier to carry. He also stated that with 6G technology on the horizon the demand for even bigger smartphone displays will go up. So, Samsung is working on various product form factors like double-folding, multi-folding and even rollable displays.
Most (single-fold) foldables have managed to accommodate a large enough 8-inch main folding display so far. Huawei’s upcoming dual-folding (or tri-folding) phone is said to have a massive 10-inch display. This could mimic a regular tablet when unfolded.
