Samsung, in Las Vegas the prototypes of the new folding smartphones

by admin

At Ces 2022 in Las Vegas, the world‘s leading technology fair, which went on despite a long series of defections, Samsung presented ready-to-sell products and several interesting prototypes. Among the first, the new range of televisions, which will be able to show digital works in NFT, and the Galaxy S21 Fe smartphone. Among the latter, two new variations on the foldable phone theme, in a sector in which the Korean company is market leader with the Galaxy Z Fold3 and especially with the Z Flip3. In Las Vegas we saw the Flex Note, a model with three screens, which can go from 13 to 17 inches; and the Flex Slidable, featuring a sliding opening technology.

And phones
The Flex Note is a device that could eliminate the need to carry around a tablet but also a laptop. When closed it is larger than a traditional mobile phone but has the advantage of being able to use more complex operations, for which a notebook is normally used today. More suitable for mass use is the Slidable, which under the main display hides a second smaller one that slides to expand the touch surface of the smartphone. The opening movement takes place by pressing a single button, so as to preserve its operation. Both Flex Note and Slidable are concepts, but it is not excluded that Samsung starts from here to experiment with new folding solutions.

Among the real and already available products, bookings in Italy of the Galaxy S21 Fe will start next week, the “fan edition” of last year’s top of the S21 range, presented at the US Consumer Electronic Show. The mobile has a 6.4-inch Amoled screen, the same processor as the S21 range, a triple lens camera and 5G connectivity.

The result, reads a note anticipating official data arriving on January 27, is supported by record sales in the quarter, estimated at 76,000 billion won (+ 23.5% on an annual basis). In the whole of 2021, the expectations are for sales at the highest levels ever. Continued growth in memory chip prices for three consecutive quarters, following strong global demand through October, boosted Samsung’s margins, confirming its most significant source of income. Remote working due to the Covid-19 pandemic has increased the demand for devices powered by Samsung chips, along with household appliances such as televisions and washing machines.

The company then aggressively stepped up its investments in semiconductors as the world fights the shortage of microchips that has affected all sectors, from cars to appliances, from smartphones to video game consoles. In November, the South Korean group announced a new microchip plant in Texas, operational from the end of 2024, with an investment of 17 billion dollars, aiming – as already anticipated by the Taiwanese TSMC and the American Intel – on the expansion of production capacity. in the United States amid the tensions of strategic competition between Washington and Beijing.
