Samsung Galaxy Book Fold with foldable display could launch soon

The Galaxy S22 series and Galaxy Tab S8 are the upcoming next-generation flagship devices from Samsung. The South Korean company will unveil these high-end smartphones and tablets tonight at the year’s most important Unpacked press conference. But Samsung should have a slew of similarly exciting products later this year, including a new line of foldable devices.

We expect the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Flip 4 to appear in the second half of 2022. But Samsung may have an even more exciting new device in its hands. That’s the first-generation foldable Galaxy Book Fold laptop that has appeared in various reports before.

Foldable laptops aren’t new, as we’ve seen a few of these concepts. Lenovo launched the ThinkPad X1 Fold in early 2020. Two years later, Asus introduced the Zenbook 17 Fold OLED. Both devices have foldable screens. But neither device looks like much of an eye-catcher as a foldable smartphone.

As for Samsung, it was reported back in October 2018 that the company was working on a foldable laptop. Last year, we saw more rumors that a Galaxy Book Fold was in the works. Separately, Samsung has teased a 17-inch tablet/laptop with a foldable display (images above and below).

All of that said, this is what should be next, especially considering what Samsung has done with its high-end flagship tablets. A foldable tablet/laptop can offer both a huge screen and a more portable device.

The product name of the Galaxy Book Fold is not official, but neither is it a random guess. A well-known Samsung insider spotted the name last year. Given Samsung’s existing family of Galaxy Book and Fold devices, such a brand name would certainly make sense. While we don’t know when Samsung might acknowledge the product.

Anew rumor from South Korea mentions a foldable laptop. The company is reportedly looking to beef up its Galaxy Fold smartphone lineup. Additionally, Samsung is rumored to want to bring the Fold model to market sooner than ever. Samsung apparently takes foldable “very seriously.”

The report states that Samsung is working on several prototypes of a foldable laptop. Some of these may feature 14-inch displays, while others may feature 17-inch screens.

Samsung also has to overcome manufacturing issues, so there is some uncertainty about the launch of the first-generation Galaxy Book Fold laptop. But there’s also a possibility that Samsung may have teased the existence of a foldable laptop at the Galaxy S22 Unpacked press conference.
