At MWC 2025, Samsung Display showcased its latest innovation: the “Flexible Briefcase”, a foldable laptop concept that doubles as a sleek briefcase. This unique device features an 18.1-inch QD-OLED display with a QHD+ resolution (2,000 x 2,664 pixels), which has a pixel density of 184 PPI.
While the Flexible Briefcase is still in the concept stage, it represents Samsung’s continued exploration for devices that utilize its foldable display tech.
The Flexible Briefcase stands out with its unconventional design, which integrates a briefcase-like housing complete with two handles that meet in the middle when the device is closed. The briefcase also houses integrated power and volume buttons, blending functionality with style.
Impressive display specifications for a laptop
When unfolded, the Flexible Briefcase boasts an 18.1-inch QD-OLED display. The prototype has a 4.5R folding radius, which reportedly ensures reliable operation of the foldable display. The display’s QHD+ resolution OLED with 184 PPI pixel density ensures sharp and vibrant visuals, though it’s slightly lower than the 212 PPI panel of the Galaxy Book4 Ultra.
Despite this slightly lower pixel density, the large screen size and the foldable mechanism make it stand out. This prototype indeed has the potential to become an appealing choice for creators, given it releases as a consumer product.
We have seen some other crazy concept laptops from other brands like Lenovo. One of them includes a solar panel, which can offer you 1 hour of video playback from 20 minutes of charging in direct sunlight. You can read more about this device here.
That said, these are just prototypes, and there’s no guarantee these concepts will hit the sleeves anytime soon. In fact, Samsung has been working on this foldable laptop concept for quite a while. The company patented a design back in 2022, where the laptop folds twice, and offered a glimpse of a concept (called Flex Note) that’s more similar to the Flexible Briefcase. The current prototype looks promising, and we hope it sees the light of the day as a consumer product.
