At CES 2023, Samsung will showcase the world’s first “Flex Hybrid” that combines two innovative technologies – the foldable and the slideable. This product uses folding technology on the left side of the screen and sliding technology on the right side.
When folded to the left, the screen measures 10.5 inches with a 4.3 aspect ratio. It has a 16:10 ratio screen and a large 12.4-inch screen when stretched to the right. You can get an amazing experience of movies and YouTube on the display.
In September at 2022 Intel Innovation, the 17-inch large-screen sliding display announced by Samsung Display CEO Joo-sung will also be officially unveiled at this CES. This 17-inch display has two uses – Flex Slidable Solo and Flex Slidable Duet, which can extend the screen in one or two directions.
This is a product that you can normally carry or use on a tablet size of a 13-inch to 14 inch and expand the screen to a 17.3-inch size when you need to multitask or enjoy movies or gaming content. Notably, the product’s screen size and portability are comparable to large-screen laptops and are highly anticipated by consumers as the future laptop design.
Furthermore, Samsung Display completes its lineup for 2023 by adding QD-OLED for ultra-large 77-inch TVs and QD-OLED for 49-inch ultra-wide displays to 55-inch, 65-inch, and 34-inch products.
Specifically, the 2023 model implemented more advanced AI technology and the latest organic materials, combined with the maximum brightness of each RGB brightness increased to over 2,000 nits, and once again achieved tremendous image quality.
Samsung Display said, “By applying high-efficiency organic materials and advanced artificial intelligence technology, the ‘QD-OLED 2023’ consumes 25% less power than the 2022 model. Even on a bright screen, you will be able to enjoy true-to-slide accurate colors and more vibrant and rich picture quality.”
Samsung Display is targeting the expected fast-growing autonomous vehicle market and changing vehicle design trends. The company will release Cockpit for the first time. It is a digital cockpit (digital car cockpit) display that combines 34-inch and 15.6-inch displays.
It features a large screen and narrow bezels, which can be used as a large entertainment display in autopilot mode. In addition, it is equipped with bendable technology, which can bend the left and right sides of the screen up to 700R, providing the driver with the best viewing distance in driving mode and helping the driver focus on driving.
In the “OLED Grow Green” exhibition area, Samsung Display will introduce environmentally friendly and low power consumption technologies that reduce greenhouse gas production, as well as the recycling process of glass, a nonreplaceable resource in the OLED production process.

Along with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G, Samsung has officially ended software update support for two more Galaxy devices – the Galaxy M51 phone and Galaxy Tab A7 tablet. This means that these devices will no longer receive any software updates.
Both the Samsung Galaxy M51 and Galaxy Tab A7 were launched in 2020 and came pre-installed with Android 10. They received updates up to Android 12, and are not eligible for more Android updates. Now, these devices have completed their software update cycle.
Although these devices still work well for everyday tasks, users will not get any new features or security patches. This lack of updates can make the devices outdated, as they will not receive important improvements.
Samsung Galaxy M51 and Galaxy Tab A7 have reached the end of their update cycle, after receiving 4 years of updates. Now, users of these devices can think about upgrading to newer models to enjoy the latest features and better security.
Still, both devices are secure and functional for everyday use. The devices run Android 12 and support all major apps, including those for banking, so users can continue to perform their daily tasks without issues. If you want to enjoy the new and advanced features of One UI, newer Samsung models are required.
