Samsung confirms the development of foldable tablets and laptops

Samsung is working on a new foldable tablet that will be different from its current range of foldable smartphones, according to an interview with Samsung mobile chief T.M. Roh. In the interview, Roh confirmed that the company is actively developing foldable tablets and laptops.

Roh explained that people naturally open up a book to read or a notebook to write, and when these items are not in use or need to be transported, they can be folded shut, making them more compact and portable while also protecting important information. He emphasized that this behavior is a fundamental part of human behavior, which Samsung aims to incorporate into its devices.

The Samsung executive stated that the technology used in foldable smartphones will also be applied to tablets and laptops. He further mentioned that Samsung is investing significant resources in developing the necessary foundation technology for these devices. The company aims to offer meaningful innovation to consumers and will launch the foldable tablets and laptops when they are fully prepared.

Roh highlighted the importance of ensuring that foldable tablets are both thin and light for portability while also being strong enough to withstand everyday use without concerns. Samsung aims to strike a balance between these factors to deliver a high-quality product.

Before Samsung officially confirmed its plans, there were rumors from a tipster suggesting that the company would release a foldable tablet this year, alongside the Galaxy Tab S9 series. However, this did not come to fruition. Nonetheless, the existence of a foldable Samsung tablet in development has now been confirmed.

A Samsung patent for a foldable tablet named the “Galaxy Z Fold Tab” was previously discovered by LetsGoDigital. Renders based on the patent showcased a multi-folding device with displays that could bend both inward and outward. It is important to note that not all patents result in actual products, so we will have to wait for Samsung to provide more information or for leaks to reveal details once the tablet enters production.

The Benefits of Foldable Tablets

Foldable tablets offer a number of benefits over traditional tablets and smartphones, including:

• Portability: When folded, it’s much smaller and more portable than a traditional tablet. This makes it easy to take with you on the go, whether you’re traveling, commuting, or just running errands.
• Ergonomics: The ability to fold the tablet in half can also improve ergonomics. For example, you can fold the tablet in half to create a smaller, more comfortable form factor for reading or typing.
• Multitasking: The larger screen of a foldable tablet can be in use for multitasking. For example, you can split the screen in two to view two apps at once, or you can use the tablet as a second screen for your laptop or PC.
• Media consumption: The large screen of a foldable tablet is ideal for media consumption, such as watching movies, playing games, or reading e-books.
• Productivity: It can also be in use for productivity tasks, such as taking notes, working on documents, or editing photos.

Of course, there are also some challenges associated with foldable tablets. Such as the high price and the potential for durability issues. However, the benefits of them outweigh the challenges. And they are likely to become more popular in the years to come.

Here are some specific examples of how foldable tablets can be in use:

• You can use a it as a mini laptop for working on the go.
• You can use it to take notes in class or at meetings.
• You can use it to watch movies or play games on a larger screen.
• You can use it to read e-books or magazines.
• You can use it to sketch or draw.
• You can use it as a second screen for your laptop or PC.

Foldable tablets are still a relatively new technology, but they have the potential to revolutionize the way we use tablets. As the technology continues to improve and the prices come down, foldable tablets are likely to become more mainstream.
