- Samsung showcased a few of its concepts at MWC 2025, most revolving around Foldable Tech.
- The most intriguing device was the Samsung Flex Briefcase which opens up to an 18.1-inch OLED.
- The firm also showcased Flex S and Flex G concepts that it showed in previous major events.
Although brands like Lenovo, Xiaomi, Tecno, and others stole the show at MWC 2025, Samsung had a few interesting devices at display too. Although not everything came off as extraordinary, there were a few devices that did catch our attention. With foldables being the main theme, Samsung showcased some of its quirky foldable designs and concepts with new form factors at MWC 2025.
Beyond Foldable Phones: Samsung’s Flexible Briefcase and a Gaming Handheld
Call of Duty fans, assemble. Samsung‘s Flexible Briefcase opens up into a beautiful 18.1-inch OLED display. It instantly reminded us of LG’s StanbyME Go briefcase, which also features a touch screen but with an LCD. We could totally imagine someone using it in the future to call nukes upon enemies in a war zone.
Or perhaps that’d be interrupted by a Windows update because it looked like the Briefcase was running Windows. After all, the sample video was being played by the Windows Media Player.
Next at the booth was a handheld “Flex Gaming” console, which resembled the Nintendo Switch Lite, that takes portability to a whole new level with a foldable display. The end result? A square shaped, almost Pokédex-like form factor that can easily fit in your pocket.
It even had holes on either side to fit the joysticks. Weirdly, there were no face buttons or D-pad. Speaking of handhelds, Samsung also had Steam Decks in the showcase because Valve uses Samsung OLEDs, besides BOE.
Exploring New Form Factors: Tri-folds, Rollables Displays
Samsung also has the Flex S and Flex G on display. Both feature displays that fold thrice, with the main difference being that the Flex S folds outwards in an S shape whereas the Flex G folds inwards. This is not the first time the firm has showcased them, though. The Flex S and G have almost always joined Samsung’s arsenal of devices to display at major showcases.
Then there was the rollable display phone which weren’t supposed to be touched so, we know very little about the same. There was also a Polygon foldable device, and the most intriguing of all, a Z Flip like device that folds from the top and bottom, leaving a part of the display exposed which shows the time. That was pretty cool.
Lastly, the Korean giant also had a circular OLED display, almost the size of a circular bathroom mirror. It was rocking a Samsung OLED, but we couldn’t quite figure out a use case for the same. Perhaps a display to hang in the bathroom, which doubles as a mirror? I don’t know.
While the “new” foldable tech from Samsung was cool, we felt others innovated better, and therefore deserved a place in our best innovations at MWC 2025 list. What are your thoughts on Samsung’s recent innovations? Do you think the firm has slowed it down or still innovating at the same pace as before? Let us know in the comments.
