Samsung, LG, and many other consumer electronics giants have invested a lot in their flexible displays since the potential applications are limitless. Right from the folding and rollable TV displays to trifold smartphones that look like the next evolutionary step. Just like the LG StandbyME Go smart display made all the news last year, the Samsung Briefcase foldable display is poised to do the same.
This unconventional prototype dubbed Flexible Briefcase was revealed at Mobile World Congress 2025 alongside other concept reveals from the South Korean consumer electronics giant’s display division. The USP of this future-forward design fit for a Bond movie is its bendable screen iteration that allows for a laptop-like configuration, both at the front and bottom of the inside of the briefcase. Call it a portable monitor or a foldable display, the choice is yours since Samsung didn’t allow anyone to even lay a finger on this cool gadget.

The odd hand carry has an 18.1-inch foldable display with QHD+ (2,000×2,644 resolution) and 184 PPI pixel density on each side. Flexible Briefcase comes with the On-Cell Film (OCF) technology for improved brightness while lowering power consumption for longer battery life. The metallic briefcase-like housing has two handles that integrate when the thing is closed. It has charging ports, power and volume buttons, and is placed strategically in the housing for smooth operation. In a way, it looks ready for the consumer market but don’t jump the gun yet, as a handful of potent concepts make it past the prototype stage. Samsung not allowing anyone to touch the unique gadget at the show lets us make our conclusions.
With that screen real estate staked in a portrait configuration, it’ll be great for professionals who want to crack a business deal with this impressive piece of technology by their side. Programmers and coders will find this screen configuration ideal for working on projects while on the go. Flexible Briefcase is the perfect computing machine if you don’t want to bring along a backpack or look ordinary walking on the streets.
At the MWC 2025 booth, the thin briefcase was shown off in both open and closed configurations. Interestingly, a big screen gadget adjacent to the briefcase indicates that the display can be taken out if you want to use it in a tablet format. If that’s the case it’ll be very interesting for various use-case scenarios; be it at home, in the office, or out in public. For now, Samsung has not leaked anything on the plans for this gadget, nor has any upcoming timeline been released.
