As of now, no official or leaked information supports the theory of a foldable Galaxy tablet being prepped for release. Nevertheless, it's fun to imagine what could be, so we went ahead and explored further.
What would a foldable Samsung tablet offer? What would be its pros and cons? And what would it look like?
We recently examined the idea of an 8.7-inch foldable Galaxy tablet and what its advantages and disadvantages might be. Today, we're doing the same and applying the formula to a fictional tablet with a larger 10.5-inch foldable screen.
10.5 inches or thereabouts might be the best size for a foldable tablet, and here are some reasons why:
Knowing the history of smaller tablets, and considering the cons and pros above, a ~10.5-inch tablet seems like it might have a higher chance of success than an 8.7-inch model. 10.5-to-11 inches could very well be the ideal size for a foldable tablet when you consider all aspects surrounding costs, repairability, and usability. However, this tablet would also come with a higher price tag and other risks than a smaller model.
Nevertheless, for Samsung fans who have always wanted a foldable tablet, this form factor might be the best choice. Not too pricy or hard to maintain, large enough to offer an immersive experience in a highly portable form factor, and not too small to risk being cannibalized by the Z Fold hybrid phone series.
Next time, we'll explore the possible outcome of an oversized 14.6-inch or larger Ultra-grade foldable Galaxy tablet. Would it be the better answer? Or something Samsung should avoid at all costs?
