The next-generation flip phone could be foldable.
A Samsung patent application was recently published (original, in Korean) and shows renderings of a phone that folds into equal parts down its middle.
The company is expected to release a bendable smartphone next year, as indicated by reports. We don't know for certain whether this patent application would attach into those affirmed gadgets - or ever be utilized by any means - yet it looks conceivable at any rate.
This kind of design could lead to a smartphone with many fascinating features. Bending a phone in half makes it easier to carry around, and the phone's inwardly curved design could serenely embrace your cheek.
Samsung has tried different things with flexible screens for for quite a while. While the Galaxy Edge line technically incorporates a flexible screen beneath a rigid body (you can't bend it yourself), Samsung also wants to produce a phone that you can repeatedly bend or even fold.
This isn't the primary patent-related renderings we've seen with foldable screens, either. A Samsung patent filing from last year showed design concepts for not only foldable smartphones, but as well as ones that can be rolled up like a scroll.
Bendable, foldable and rollable phones present technical hurdles. Not only does the screen itself have to move without breaking or wearing, but the stuff inside has to as well, or at least be placed in an area where it won't get harmed. When's the last time you saw a bendable battery?
So the question isn't whether Samsung is working on foldable phones, but how long we need to sit tight until they're prepared for show-and-tell.
