Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold 2 and the Galaxy Z Flip smartphones last year. Reports have hinted that the company will be launching three new foldable smartphones this. Now, a new report says that the company is planning to launch a tri-folding tablet soon.

According to a report by Lets Go Digital, Samsung Electronics has registered a trademark with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) that hints towards the company's intention of launching a foldable tablet under its Z-Fold lineup. The company's new device is said to be marketed under the name 'Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Tab'.

The report also said that trademark application has been categorised as Class 9 by the company with the description ‘smartphones, tablet computers.' Interestingly, the report notes that Samsung has not used the ‘Galaxy Z Fold' designation previously, which indicates that a Galaxy Z Fold tablet is indeed in the works.

Furthermore, the report says that the company is expected to launch the new tri-folding tablet in the first quarter of 2022 and that it is expected to feature support for S-Pen stylus. The display of the device is tipped to be made of a new type of ultra-thin-glass (UTG) that is likely to enhance the SPen usage. Beyond that, details about Samsung's upcoming foldable tablet remain scarce at the moment. We'll keep you informed as soon as we hear anything.
