“#Feast your eyes on Samsung’s next-gen foldable and slidable displays”
The company today unveiled a series of prototypes that give us a glimpse of what this insane amount of foldables could look like.
The most eye-catching device is the S-foldable OLED display, which can be folded not just once, but twice!
Unfurled, the 7.2-inch screen functions as a tablet, but double-fold it twice, and you’ve got yourself a smartphone.
Another multi-purpose foldable that Samsung showcased is a 17-inch OLED panel. The device serves as a monitor when open, and a 4:3 aspect ratio tablet when folded.
For those who’d rather slide than fold, Samsung also revealed a new slidable OLED prototype. The device is shaped like a regular smartphone when closed, but extends horizontally to provide a large-screen experience.
In addition to its foldables (and slidable), Samsung showed off an under-panel camera (UPC) for laptops.

The tech, which Samsung previously teased on its Weibo page, is designed to minimize a laptop’s bezel and maximize its screen by mounting the camera under the panel. It certainly looks ergonomic, but Samsung hasn’t provided any detail on the webcam’s picture quality.
UPCs aren’t just bound to laptops. The tech is also gaining traction in the smartphone industry, although the earliest releases haven’texactly set the world alight.
Samsung’s foldable plans are more intriguing to me. The company’s existing models haven’t gained widespread adoption, but reports suggest a more affordable handset is on its way — which might mean I can finally afford one.
