(Image source: via WIPO)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent weeks, there has been plenty of discussion about Samsung possibly creating its first tri-fold smartphone as a rival to Huawei&#8217;s Mate XT. However, it seems that Samsung Display has something even stranger in the works. Please note that Samsung Display is a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics rather than a part of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, the former has showcased prototypes like the Flex S and Flex G that have never been released in a retail capacity. By contrast, Samsung Electronics makes use of Samsung Display panels in devices like the Galaxy Z Fold6. At any rate, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has registered what Samsung Display describes as an &#8216;electronic games console&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Filed over two years ago, the patent resembles a Nintendo Switch Lite until it folds in half. To achieve this, Samsung Display has included recessed buttons and what may well be removable joysticks. Ultimately, Samsung Display&#8217;s foldable gaming handheld resembles a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.batterymap.co.nz\/detail-Samsung-1746262-EB-BF742ABE\">Galaxy Z Flip6<\/a>, although it remains to be seen whether such a design will ever reach mass production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.batterymap.co.nz\/detail-Samsung-1746262-EB-BF742ABE\">EB-BF742ABE Battery for Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.batterymap.co.nz\/detail-Samsung-1746263-EB-BF741ABE\">EB-BF741ABE Battery for Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/fileadmin\/_processed_\/3\/b\/csm_samsung-foldable-gaming-handheld_5129499588.jpg\" alt=\"(Image source: via WIPO)\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>(Image source: via WIPO)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung Display has patented a rather strange gaming handheld.
