With a bend in two places
At the moment, in the assortment of Samsung there are two models of flexible smartphones: Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Z Flip. Devices differ significantly in size, positioning and price, but they are united by a form factor – these are clamshells with a screen “inside”.
When a regular flexible smartphone is boring. Samsung suggests making one display both external and internal
Yes, Huawei Mate X / Xs has a different concept, but so far we see that most models offer just such a design. Is it possible to make a flexible screen that a folded smartphone will have both outside and inside? Samsung patent shows that it is possible.
The document describes a mobile device in which one flexible display is used both as a primary internal and as an additional external. How this is implemented is clearly visible in the schematic images.
Judging by these images, this may be the next model of the Galaxy Z Flip line, although it is not a fact of what will be – such an implementation is clearly more expensive than the option with two separate screens, and reliability in this case decreases.
On the other hand, over time, flexible screens in any case will become much more accessible and widespread, so that in the end we can get just such a smartphone.
