The patent suggests Samsung could create its own foldable handheld game console

ONE new patent from South Korean tech giant Samsung hinting that the company may be working on a potential handheld gaming console.

However, that’s not all. The patent suggests such a device could follow in the footsteps of the company’s Z Flip and Fold phones and boast a foldable display of its own. As reported by 91Mobile phone (Thank, Tom’s instructions), the patent was registered earlier this month through the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), showing some pretty clear cutouts of a device that closely resembles the Switch in design, but There are some obvious differences.

The biggest, of course, is the foldable screen. Samsung has been using this technology for several years and has made small but welcome improvements to each version of its foldable phone. We also have similar bars and buttons recessed on either side of the screen, but it’s unclear what exactly they are or how they work. We’re also confused about how a foldable display actually benefits a handheld console, but we’re not as smart as the tech coffins at Samsung.

It’s worth noting that Samsung itself may not want to enter the gaming industry but may produce foldable displays for other companies. Samsung Display has cooperated with Nintendo to produce screens for the Nintendo Switch – OLED model, so it is entirely possible that this company will work on behalf of another company.

Whether this device will actually hit the market is unclear at this time, but it’s certainly an intriguing prospect. Based on the information that has been leaked regarding ‘Switch 2’, it appears that Nintendo will soon be implementing foldable screen technology into its own console; especially considering how expensive those foldable phones still are.
