Samsung, one of the leading brands in the foldable smartphone market, first appeared 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 could not get enough of innovations after its success 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 as in 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, a centrally placed selfie camera appears in the images in the patent, as in the newly introduced S22 model by the brand.
Samsung is currently 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.
