Feather CES 2022, samsung Demonstrated several new foldable display concepts including dual-folding smartphones and foldable laptops. Now, the company has reportedly received a patent for a new type of foldable laptop. According to a report by SamMobile, the Korean giant has got a patent for a convertible laptop with a detachable foldable display. The report further states that the design was recently approved and published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
As per the report, Samsung’s unique laptop has the same two major components as any other convertible laptop – a screen and keyboard base. Apart from the detachable foldable display, what makes this device unique is the keyboard base which is capable of splitting in half. According to the report, each part of the keyboard has its own battery and input circuit. It also reveals that only half of the keyboard hides a processor and a microcontroller.
The report reveals that the convertible area of the device when folded and detached could be quite small which would make it compact and easy to carry around. The upper part can be used as a large foldable tablet. The company has not officially revealed any information about such devices, but the app gives hints about the products that the tech giant is looking for.
Patents are always filed for genuine products by tech companies and if Samsung plans to launch a convertible laptop with detachable foldable display, it could take a few years. The company is reportedly gearing up to launch the Samsung Galaxy S22 series with the latest Exynos chipset Galaxy Unpacked 2022 event next month. The upcoming lineup is rumored to have three devices – Samsung Galaxy S22, Samsung Galaxy S22+ and Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.
