Overview
- The claim comes from recurring tipster kro on X who reiterated the report on Friday and said Samsung “has already started” work, but no independent confirmation exists.
- The device is described as a 17-inch screen that folds down to an 8-inch form, reversing Samsung’s usual phone-into-tablet foldable approach to make a large tablet that becomes pocketable.
- Multiple outlets covering the tip say Samsung would likely use two displays—a large internal folding panel plus an external cover screen—to protect the main surface and keep the device thinner when closed.
- Timing and cost are unclear with most outlets judging it unlikely to arrive in 2026 and speculating the earliest shipment could be 2027, and Huawei’s 2025 18-inch MateBook Fold shows similarly big foldables launch at very high prices.
- Samsung has made no announcement about a name, specs, price, or release date, so the report remains unverified and faces technical hurdles such as surface protection, hinge durability, and thickness when closed.
