Having closed the first quarter of 2022 as a leader in the smartphone market, Samsung intends to reinforce this situation. Samsung stands out with its Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip models in the foldable phone market, which has gained popularity recently. The Korean manufacturer is also preparing to expand its foldable smartphone model range with new patents.
Samsung received new patents for foldable phones
It has been learned that Samsung has applied for 10 new patents for foldable phones. These patents, which include different folding functions, also shed light on the future of Samsung’s foldable phones. With these latest patents, Samsung has increased the number of patents in this market to 20.
Korean technology giant has already gained an important place in the foldable smartphone market with its Fold and Flip series smartphones. The new patents show how serious Samsung is about the foldable phone.
Among the emerging patents of Samsung, there is also a phone with an expandable sliding screen. The company showcased such a prototype in May and caused great excitement. Now, with these patents with an expanding screen, we have seen Samsung’s plans more clearly.
In the patent images, we see that the device, which looks like a standard smartphone at first glance, later expanded to reach a tablet-like structure. It expands by separating from the edges, where it is also seen on the back of the phone.
Of course, such phones also bring durability problems. Especially in foldable phones, this problem created a big problem in the first place. This problem is still not fully resolved. Let’s see how Samsung will come up with phones by solving these problems in the future.
Of course, we know that not all patents will come true, but still, with these patents, we have taken a clear look at Samsung’s future plans. So what do you think about foldable phones? Do you think Samsung can fix endurance issues? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
