[ad_1] Samsung's Flex G tri-fold display could be used on a phone released next year. | Image credit-CNET Samsung is also working on an expandable display that expands vertically, and on another expandable display that expands horizontally. The former is great for smartphones while the latter is ideal for tablets. This is a technology that Samsung has been working on for years and may be close to seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. With CES in Las Vegas as usual, we'd love to see Samsung roll the dice with one of these concept displays. The "Flex G" tri-fold phone seems likely to hit the market in 2026, and if we had to guess, we'd say it could be followed up with a Galaxy smartphone that has a vertically expandable screen.Reserve the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra now!

Samsung shows us the future of smartphone form factors including one panel expected on a 2026 phone
The Flex S displays part of the screen when closed. according to In a tweet posted by Ross Young, founder and CEO of Display Supply Side Consultants (DSCC), Samsung will introduce a tri-fold phone next year that will use Samsung's second tri-fold form factor known as the "Flex G." The best way to describe this panel is to think of it as a Galaxy Z Fold with an added side. Unlike the Flex S, the Flex G's outer sides fold inward to provide protection for the 10-inch tablet-sized internal screen when the device is closed. Samsung is not expected to launch a phone based on the Flex G display until 2026 since shipments of these panels will not begin until the last quarter of this year.
A YouTube video released by Samsung Display shows the display expanding vertically from a 5.1-inch display to a 6.7-inch FHD+ display. Another video shows the expanded horizontal display growing from an 8.1-inch display to a 12.4-inch display that also features an FHD+ resolution.
Samsung also showed off technology that allows a smartphone's screen to appear bright while viewing the screen, even if you're wearing sunglasses. How about a screen that moves towards you to mimic the look of a 3D screen? Samsung brought such a concept panel with it to Vegas this year. At CES, Samsung also showed off an ultra-thin, flexible OLED display that could eventually be used on a mobile product.
