#MWC25: Samsung showcased some of wildest screens we've ever seen

Every year at Mobile World Congress (MWC), Samsung Display pulls up with a suitcase full of futuristic screen tech that feels straight out of a sci-fi movie. This year though, they might have outdone themselves.

We’re talking phones that fold twice, a gaming console that closes like a book, an 18-inch display hidden inside a briefcase, and even a stretchable screen that literally pops out at you.

So, here’s a breakdown of everything wild, weird, and (maybe) wonderful that Samsung brought to MWC 2025.

A dual-folding phone that closes like a crab claw.

We’ve seen flip phones. We’ve seen foldables. But Samsung’s dual-folding concept phone takes things to another level—literally. This device folds twice, once from the top and once from the bottom, creating a compact, layered effect that looks like a Galaxy Z Flip on steroids.

Why? That’s the million-dollar question. More folds mean more moving parts, more potential breakpoints, and (probably) more durability concerns. But if Samsung can make it work, this design could be the next step in making foldables even more compact.

For now, it’s just a concept, and Samsung isn’t saying whether it’ll ever hit the market. But with the company leading the foldable space, don’t be surprised if we see some version of this in the future.

A Nintendo Switch that folds? Yes, please.

Samsung must have heard every gamer who’s ever said, "I love my handheld console, but it’s just too bulky." Because their latest foldable gaming console concept is basically a Nintendo Switch with a book-style fold.

This thing closes shut when not in use, making it way more travel-friendly than your average handheld. And the best part is Samsung even carved out small holes for the joysticks, so they don’t get crushed when folded.

Again, this is just a concept but imagine if Samsung collabed with a major gaming brand to bring this to life. Steam Deck? ROG Ally? You’ve got some competition brewing.

The briefcase that turns into an 18-inch screen.

Ever thought, "My laptop is too small, I need a bigger screen… inside a briefcase?" No? Well, Samsung did.

Meet the Flexi Briefcase, an 18.1-inch OLED screen that folds neatly into a slim metal case. The idea is instead of carrying a laptop, you unfold this thing wherever you need a big display. A business meeting? A coffee shop? A park bench? Boom—instant workstation.

Of course, this raises a few questions. How do you prop it up? Does it connect to an external keyboard? Is it a full computer or just a display? Samsung isn’t saying much, but the fact that we’re even asking these questions means they might be onto something.

Samsung's very own tri-fold tablet.

Samsung’s been teasing trifold devices for years, but at MWC 2025, they finally brought the Flex G and Flex S tablets—two foldable concepts that open up into massive screens.

• The Flex G folds inward twice, like a wallet, to protect the display when closed.
• The Flex S folds like an accordion, leaving part of the screen exposed so you can check notifications or even take calls when it’s folded.

Both of these designs could push foldables past their current limits. If you can imagine a device that’s pocketable like a phone but unfolds into a laptop-sized tablet—then this is it. It’s the dream, but we’ll have to wait and see if Samsung can pull it off. Watch out Huawei.

Samsung’s wildest screen yet is a stretchable display.

And now, for the absolute craziest thing Samsung brought to MWC: a stretchable OLED display that literally moves on its own.

Imagine watching a soccer game, and suddenly, the ball pops out of the screen in 3D before retracting back in. That’s what Samsung demoed with this mind-bending 11-inch stretchable screen.

The company says it can stretch up to 25% without damage, which sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie. Whether this tech will end up in future products is anyone’s guess, but it’s easily one of the most futuristic things we saw at MWC 2025.

Conclusion

Samsung Display didn’t just bring foldable phones to MWC 2025—they brought a whole new way to think about screens. Some of these concepts may never hit the market, but others (if they do launch) could change foldables, gaming, and even how we use laptops.

One thing’s for sure: Samsung is having way too much fun with screens—and honestly, we love to see it.
