The foldable smartphone race that Samsung started with the Galaxy Fold was getting hotter with the participation of brands such as Huawei, Oppo and Xiaomi. In fact, producing a foldable phone has become so easy that two engineers in China made the world’s first foldable iPhone.
But it looks like Samsung wants to take this “foldable device” race to the next level. The company’s latest patent proves this.
laptop with foldable screen
Of course, when the words laptop and endure come together, we seem to hear you say “Well, what’s wrong with that”. However, it should be noted that this device is very different from a regular laptop. Normal laptops and devices such as the Asus Zenbook Pro Duo usually do not have a screen in the parts where the device is folded. In this patent by 91 Mobiles, we can see that the screen is a single piece. The fact that the drawing style used in the patent designs is exactly like the Z Fold and Z Flip devices proves this.
In addition, according to the information in the patent, the lower part of this L-shaped screen will be a larger and functional version of the Touchbar once used in Macbook Pro devices. In addition, the tab on the right can be used in many ways, including optional touchpad, copyboard, calculator and numpad. In addition, when we look at the patent, we see that there are only 2 Thunderbolt ports on the laptop.
Although there is not much information about this new design in the patent, Samsung’s quadruple laptop design and Apple’s keyboardless Macbook design at the beginning of this year show that we may see big changes in laptops soon.
