Samsung's Foldable And Slideable Concepts Are A Glimpse Into The Future
Samsung Display is showing off some wild new foldable and rollable concept devices at Display Week 2022 being held in San Jose, California. Samsung is already a market leader in the foldables segment with its Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip devices, but there's clearly a lot more that flexible screens can accomplish. Samsung is also developing slideable/rollable displays, which are being explored by a number of brands, including TCL, Oppo, and more recently, Motorola.

While both these prototypes are being showcased at Display Week, Samsung Display is also giving the world a glimpse at some brand new products.
