Smartphones with a foldable screen were launched a few years ago and may be about to evolve even further – at least if it depends on companies like Samsung. That's because a rumor indicates that the company has plans to show a hybrid screen with dual functionality during CES 2023.
The event, which starts next Thursday (05), may feature a display that will not only be able to fold, but also slide or expand. However, the technology can only be displayed to invited spectators in a private booth at the fair.
According to the website ETNews, this is Samsung's ace in the sleeve to demonstrate a technology that may represent the future of folding devices. According to what was revealed, the screen should have 8 inches when completely folded and increase to 10 inches when unfolded.

In case it expands, the size can reach 12,4 inches, transforming the device into a tablet or notebook. With this, a new class of products can be created – although the focus seems to be the foldable smartphone market in fact.
The big question that remains is in relation to the price of the device for sale. Due to the high investment in technology, it is assumed that the device can reach the market costing US$ 2 thousand or more in the US – a very high value.
In addition, it is unclear which device will be used to support the technology, although rumors indicate an 8-inch screen when folded. If this is confirmed, we may be facing a smartphone with a generous screen – and being able to get even bigger.
