Samsung foldable tablet gets hinted at in yet another patent
Samsung Galaxy Tab S4
Although it’s unclear if this will ever make it to production, the device envisioned sports a huge display and a design that utilizes two hinges instead of just one, thus dividing the front panel into three sections. When unfolded completely, the tablet in question resembles any other regular device. If users wish to use a slightly smaller display, though, the can fold the left side of the display behind the rest. This deactivates that portion of the panel and leaves the other two sections active.
Samsung itself is pretty confident in the foldable form factor and expects to sell at least one million units of its first foldable smartphone. If the company can indeed achieve this figure, a foldable tablet will be significantly more likely. When it comes to the near-term, though, consumers should expect the company’s focus to be solely on smartphones.
