Samsung has been pushing the foldable smartphones in the market and the strategy might be working for the South Korean giant as it is witnessing record bookings for the newly launched Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3 phones.
Now, it seems that the company is now looking to expand the foldable technology to the laptop segment as well, starting with the Samsung Galaxy Book Fold 17. The device was showcased as a concept at SID 2021 but it’s reportedly being developed by Samsung.
The report, coming from @UniverseIce, confirms the Galaxy Book Fold 17 moniker for the upcoming device but nothing much is currently known about this product. It is likely to come with a 17-inch foldable display.
We expect the actual product to look a bit different compared to what the company showcased at SID 2021 earlier this year. The concept device showcased had very thin bezels around the screen, and an Under-Display Camera (UDC).
As noted, currently there’s not much known about the Samsung Galaxy Book Fold 17 but if the device is indeed real and set to launch soon, we expect to know more about its features and specifications, as well as pricing and availability details in the coming weeks.
Last year, Lenovo had launched the ThinkPad X1 Fold laptop, featuring a 13.3-inch foldable OLED display with a screen resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels. It was first showcased at CES 2019 as “the world’s first foldable PC.”
