Samsung is working on a 17.3-inch foldable laptop

It seems that Samsung plans to unveil a laptop with a 17.3-inch foldable OLED display in 2023. The event that was supposed to happen this year, but for reasons that were never talked about, did not happen.

Samsung is currently the largest manufacturer of folding screens in the world. This Korean company has also been producing foldable phones since 2019, and it markets them in two types: fold and flip. Many other companies have decided to produce their own folding phones after Samsung, which are also successful in this field, but none of them have been able to reach the popularity that Samsung has gained in this field.

The amount of demand is The days to buy folding products have increased significantly, so analysts predict that 2023 will be the boom year of this technology, as well as the technology of rolling displays. Of course, smartphones have been doing well, but folding laptops have not been very popular this year, so that HP had to postpone the unveiling and release of its 17-inch folding laptop for a year.

The high price also reduces demand. It is not ineffective. The price of the Asus Zenbook laptop, which has a 17-inch folding screen and is supplied by BOE, now reaches 3,500 US dollars, which is probably not enough for a laptop whose technology is just at the beginning of the road. It is for this reason that Asus ordered only 10,000 folding panels from BOE and the number of orders from HP to LG is the same. Its beginning may be less because the panel is not paid much. It is also said that Samsung's 17.3-inch laptop will have the largest size when closed (13.3 inches). HP's 17-inch laptop is only 11 inches when closed, and the Asus representative is 12.6 inches. Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold 2nd generation, which is considered the best-selling folding laptop, is a 16.3-inch product that, when closed, reaches 12 inches. The problem with the Galaxy Fold was, will it show itself in the 17.3-inch laptop of this company or not?
