Samsung reportedly begins work on a 17-inch foldable tablet

A tipster on X says Samsung has started work on a foldable tablet.

The device is said to measure 8 inches folded and 17 inches open, but the tipster has shared few details.

The claim is an unconfirmed rumor from one source, and Samsung has not commented.

Samsung has previously sold a limited-run foldable device that opened to a 10-inch screen, but this reported tablet would be much larger.

It could take Samsung's foldable designs into tablet-sized screens, though the leak does not say how the device would fold or what display it would use.

There is no launch date or price, so it is unclear when, or whether, the tablet will go on sale.
