The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted Samsung a patent for a smartphone with a very unusual design.
We are talking about a device with a flexible body. Moreover, as you can see in the illustrations accompanying the document, the device will be able to bend in two places - in the upper and lower parts of the case.
The main feature of the novelty will be a removable main camera. Thanks to a special mount, users will be able to connect the optical unit when necessary.
Theoretically, this approach will allow you to install different lenses for shooting in certain conditions. In addition, it will be possible to use zoom optics in a large range.
The images indicate that the detachable lens is quite large. Therefore, in practice, such a decision may be controversial.
However, while the unusual Samsung smartphone exists only on paper. The possible timing of its appearance on the commercial market is not reported. Most likely, the device will remain a design development.
