Samsung Has Patented A New Foldable Phone!

While Samsung is dominating the foldable smartphone market, it has patented another new design! Here are the details...

Samsung, one of the leading brands in the foldable smartphone market, first showed itself in 2019 with the Galaxy Z Fold model. The company also introduced the Z Fold 2 and Z Fold 3 models as a continuation of the series. Although there are many other companies entering the foldable smartphone market, Samsung has managed to dominate the market alone with a 90% share.

The technology giant, after its success, could not get enough of innovations and patented a new folding phone model. The folding shape of the phone, which appeared in the patent, managed to attract attention. So how will the design of this phone be? Let's take a look together.

Will Samsung release a sideways foldable phone?

Technology giant Samsung has applied for a patent for a new model after dominating the foldable phone market. In this patent, the devices will fold sideways, unlike previous models. The World Intellectual Property Office published the patent for the phone with the article titled "Electronic device with flexible screen".

In the patent documents, as in the name of the article, there is information that the phone has a flexible screen. In this way, the back screen of the device can be included in the front. When the device is opened, it will take the P shape as seen in the image. In the patent information, it is stated that the phone screen is designed with ultra-thin glass like the Galaxy Z series. There is also information that there is a vertical camera lens and flash next to the screen. But there is no information about the sensors. In addition, in the images in the patent, a centrally placed selfie camera appears, as in the newly introduced S22 model by the brand.

For now, Samsung is uncertain when the foldable phone will be produced or sold. However, when it is released, it is expected to attract attention like the previous models of the previous series.
