Forget folding twice. Samsung’s next big-screen phone may simply slide open

Samsung is reportedly planning a new experimental Galaxy phone with a sliding display instead of the usual foldable hinges, aiming to provide a large tablet-like screen while keeping the form factor more compact when closed. This innovative design could challenge the current trend of multi-hinge foldable phones by offering a simpler and potentially more durable alternative. The move could push competitors to rethink their own foldable and flexible screen technologies, making it a significant development in the smartphone industry.
