Samsung might finally unveil its foldable smartphone during its Unpacked event that’s scheduled to take place on February 20. Although the device is expected to garner a lot of interest, Samsung will probably not be able to hog the limelight for really long as other manufacturers, including Xiaomi and Huawei, are also going to release their foldable devices this year. However, if a patent filing is to go by, Samsung might be planning to release a monster of a device sometimes in the future that will combine two of the trendiest concepts in the industry right now; foldable screens and gaming smartphones.

It was rumored last year that the South Korean giant is readying a gaming smartphone but no details on the alleged phone were available. According to a newly unearthed patent that was filed at the end of 2017 the company is apparently envisioning a smartphone-tablet hybrid that would have a hidden controller underneath. The patent hints at a device that will fold up in the middle to reveal two equal halves with a screen on both the sides and it will become a tablet-like device when unfolded.
