Samsung is a market leader in the foldable smartphone space. The South Korean giant was the first company to launch a commercially available foldable smartphone, and is the only company in the Indian market to offer multiple foldable options. Now, it seems that Samsung may add another foldable in its portfolio. Currently, Samsung has the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold and the Galaxy Z Flip smartphones in its lineup. However, a report has said that the company may be bringing a third foldable or sliding display smartphone this year.
The report from Galaxy Club cites sources as saying that the company may launch a third foldable device alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 successors later this year. The report also speculates that Samsung may launch its first rollable or slide-out smartphone or phablet, or it could also launch a foldable with three panels with limited availability as compared to the next Galaxy Z Flip and Galaxy Z Fold devices.

At the CES 2022 in January, Samsung unveiled new concepts for the next generations of Samsung’s Galaxy devices. The company had showcased the Samsung Galaxy Flex S, Flex G, and Flex Slidable concepts during the show. The Samsung Flex G and Samsung Flex S concepts are named in the manner they unfold. This means that the Flex S comes with three separate panels that fold outward into a larger screen. The Samsung Flex S offers a much larger “unfolded” form factor with a compact design, but the two outward-facing panels can be prone to scratches. The Flex G also features three foldable panels which fold inward instead outwards. The Samsung Flex Slidable, on the other hand, is an extending display that rolls out to reveal a larger form factor.
