The LetsGoDigital resource reports that Samsung has patented a flexible smartphone with a very interesting design that allows for a variety of folding options.
As you can see on the submitted renderings, the device will receive a vertically elongated display with a frameless design. A multi-module camera is located at the top of the rear panel, and a speaker of a high-quality audio system is located at the bottom.
A special section is provided in the central area of ββthe body, allowing the device to bend in different places. Moreover, the device can be folded with the display both inwards and outwards.
Thus, a wide variety of usage modes can be implemented. For example, a smartphone can be folded so that the multi-module rear camera and part of the display are in front of the user: this will allow self-portraits to be taken.
In addition, when folded, you can leave an open area with a speaker - for listening to music. When not in use, the machine can be folded with the screen facing inward to protect the panel from damage.
The elongated display of the smartphone will make it possible to work simultaneously with two applications, the windows of which can be located one above the other.
However, so far the device with the proposed design exists only in patent documentation.
