Patent Reveals Next Samsung Foldable and Bendable Flagship Phone
Finally, a more tangible image of Samsung's next flagship phone has surfaced. This is revealed through the patent application showing a glimpse of what to expect more or less from the foldable and bendable Samsung Galaxy X.
According to CNET, the Korean electronics company has been experimenting with flexible screens for a long time now. This time, Samsung is ready to take the leap to market a device that allows users to bend or fold it multiple times.
This is not an ordinary flip phone as it comes with extraordinary folding and bending features. International Business Times UK reveals that the patent described it as a device "that can be folded or unfolded semi-automatically." While other contents of the patent may be tricky to interpret due to the language used, it is noticeable that there are pages that focus on discussing more science behind its futuristic hinges.
The patent illustrations show a long and narrow handset with a corrugated-looking design in the middle that allows it be folded. A bending phone gives anyone the ease of placing it inside a back pocket without falling off, or even inside the smallest purse.
Topping off this handy advantage is a report from International Business Times UK that reveals the device's "secondary" display that activates when the mobile phone is folded. Can your mobile phone get cooler than that?
No single description will do justice to this cutting edge mobile phone, except for either seeing the patent's detailed drawings or the actual device in its flesh. Surely, this is a fix for a gadget geek's curiosity.
The bending battle doesn't end here. To set the game even further, The Verge reports that Samsung patent can even lead the way to a release of bendable tablets. But, before getting there, make sure to watch out next year for the arrival of this bendable and foldable flagship mobile phone from Samsung.
