Seoul: Samsung is reportedly working on new devices with a triple-folding screen and a rollable display.

The South Korean tech giant has currently only revealed the designs as concepts on its display blog, reports GSMArena.

The first drawing shows a tri-folding display Galaxy Fold. This new device would eliminate the Fold's need for an external display, as it could fold down to a third of its unfolded footprint.

The other device that the company hinted at was a rollable display gadget. This product essentially has a long cylindrical body, which houses the flexible rolled up display.

A recent patent for the tri-folding device was re-imagined by LetsGoDigital in the form of a few mock-up renders.

This tri-folding device would feature a slide-out keyboard and could be used in different positions.

The company earlier introduced Galaxy Z Fold2 that sports a 6.2-inch cover screen and a 7.6-inch main screen when unfolded.

Galaxy Z Fold2 is Samsung's third foldable smartphone after Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Z Flip.

Meanwhile, Samsung is also planning to to allow its users to use Bixby Voice as a biometric voice-unlock feature in the company's upcoming Galaxy S21 series.

According to a report from SamMobile, the Galaxy S21 series is expected to launch the running version 3.1 of One UI, just like the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S10 ran One UI 2.1 and One UI 1.1 out of the box, respectively.

There will be a couple of new features that will be exclusive to the Galaxy S21 until One UI 3.1 is released for other Galaxy devices and one of those features will be the option to use Bixby Voice as a biometric method for unlocking the device.
