Samsung has always had plans to expand its line of advanced displays. The latest rumors indicate that the company intends to introduce a hybrid display technology in the near future. It will allow you to combine folding and retractable displays and thereby flexibly change the size of the panel. The South Korean giant can demonstrate its development to a limited circle of people at the international exhibition CES 2023, which will open its doors on January 5th.
Naturally, it will not work to see the technology in two actions at the same time, so it is likely that such a display can either be folded / unfolded, or extended / moved. According to available information, the size of the experimental panel is 8 inches folded and 10 inches unfolded. The screen size can be extended up to 12.4 inches when extended. Thus, a device with such a display can take the size of a smartphone and transform to the size of a tablet or laptop. Apparently, Samsung wants to succeed with a new class of devices, although the line of foldable smartphones is still a niche one. At the moment, hybrid technology still raises more questions.
Surely the company spent a lot of resources on such development, so the finished commercial product will cost at least $2,000. It’s also unclear which software should be used, given the non-standard sizes, aspect ratios, and screen resolutions that are constantly changing. Perhaps it will be a special version of One UI based on Android. We will know more details soon.
