At MWC 2025, Samsung unveiled its latest innovation: the Flex Gaming concept. This is a handheld gaming console with a 7.2-inch foldable OLED display, and it aims to revolutionize the gaming industry as a compact handheld that’s easy to travel with.

A new era for handheld gaming could be on the horizon

Currently, handheld gaming consoles like the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch come with a bulky design, which makes them quite difficult to carry. Samsung’s Flex Gaming concept addresses this issue by incorporating a hinge and a foldable display, which allows it to fold like a Galaxy Z Flip smartphone.

The Flex Gaming console features joysticks and D-pads on both sides of the display, with a unique cavity design to accommodate the joysticks when folded. It also includes a home button, a button marked with an ‘N’, and a USB Type-C port at the bottom. The lime-like green-yellow color (of the current prototype) adds a vibrant, futuristic touch to the device.

While Samsung has not revealed detailed specifications such as resolution, refresh rate, or brightness, the foldable display is expected to be similar to the ones used in Samsung’s foldable smartphones. This, if true, will allow gamers to enjoy an immersive visual experience.

This year’s Flex Gaming concept is a significant upgrade from the model showcased at CES 2023, which featured a flip-open display rather than a foldable one. The new design is more practical and aligns with the growing demand for compact, portable gaming devices.

It’s interesting to see Samsung investing some time and effort in exploring areas slightly out of its business while solving real-world problems.

At the recently concluded CES 2023 event held in Las Vegas, Samsung announced a number of products ranging from smart home gadgets to smart TVs and monitors. The Korean tech giant seems to have announced a concept gaming device that slipped through the cracks. The Samsung Flex Gaming handheld, as it is called, is a new handheld Android gaming device prototype. The device was captured in a short video by a tech and gaming reviewer and shows a female staff member demonstrating the folding screen and fitted controller peripheral. The screen displayed a looped video of a racing game, but the device was not actually being played.

The Samsung Flex Gaming seems to adopt a tablet-like design with a custom controller peripheral, similar to the Razer Edge. However, the controller seems to be much more integrated with the device, leading to speculation that it could be a single unit. The device’s folding screen technology is in line with Samsung’s focus on folding displays, as they have recently released the Samsung Flex Hybrid, a large folding tablet with unique moving parts.

With the rise of Android gaming, it’s not surprising to see Samsung entering the handheld gaming market. Samsung has a reputation for pushing the boundaries with their cell phones and tablets, and the Samsung Flex Gaming could be another example of their innovative approach.

However, it’s important to keep in mind that prototypes may not end up making it to the market. It remains to be seen if Samsung will announce the Flex Gaming as a commercial product.
