In the last few weeks, there has been a lot of chatter regarding Samsung potentially developing its first tri-fold phone to compete with Huawei's Mate XT. However, it appears that Samsung Display has something even more unusual in the pipeline. It's important to clarify that Samsung Display is a separate entity from Samsung Electronics.
Unique Prototypes
Consequently, the former has presented prototypes like the Flex S and Flex G, which have not been available for sale. On the other hand, Samsung Electronics utilizes Samsung Display screens in products such as the Galaxy Z Fold6 (currently priced at $1,320 on Amazon). Regardless, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has acknowledged what Samsung Display refers to as an 'electronic games console.'
Gaming Console Design
Submitted more than two years ago, the patent looks similar to a Nintendo Switch Lite until it folds in half. To accomplish this, Samsung Display has integrated recessed buttons and possibly detachable joysticks. In essence, the foldable gaming device from Samsung Display bears a resemblance to a Galaxy Z Flip6, yet it’s still uncertain if this type of design will ever go into large-scale production.
