Samsung Flex Displays at CES 2022
Samsung showcased four different forms of displays at the ongoing CES 2022. The Flex S is a tri-folding display and looks like an upgrade over the current bi-folding panels. Samsung calls its Flex S as the foldable device forms an “S” shape when you fold it in or out. It allows the user to use a separate display for different tasks and also like a smartphone, tablet or an AI device.
The Flex G, on the other hand, is a multi-foldable device that folds inwards twice in a G shape. The two sides of the device fold inwards and the rest of the central part of the product. Samsung claims that the G-shaped screen is more durable as the screen is protected from external scratches or impact.

Many “concepts” rarely see the light of day. But Samsung is one of the few companies making folding phones you can actually buy.

The Flex Slidable is somewhat similar to Oppo’s Find X 2021 concept with a different mechanism. The company says that the Slidable display extends with a press of a button. It offers multiple use cases, including one to use the display as a sidecar for accessing apps.
Lastly, the Flex Note is Samsung’s take on foldable displays for laptops and notebooks. Take it as a larger version of the Galaxy Fold’s display mechanism that folds vertically. The display’s bottom half can be used as an on-screen keyboard or for any other use case depending on the task at hand.
