Samsung is the one company along with Huawei that has stood at the forefront when it comes to making foldable smartphones. The South Korean tech giant has brought out two foldable phone designs for its customers till date, which can be seen on the Galaxy Z Flip series and the Galaxy Z Fold series. While the Z Flip phones fold vertically and are very compact when in folded state, the Galaxy Z Fold series has been designed to open like a book. It seems like Samsung is looking to implement a third design into its foldable phone lineup, as the company was recently granted a patent for the same, reports LetsGoDigital.
As per the report, with the new design, an upcoming foldable phone could fold into a Z-shape, as it would have three separate sections which would help give that shape. As for the internals, Samsung may reportedly leave the middle section of the phone devoid of any critical internals to just make it useful for the structural rigidity of the device while the batteries and the circuit boards would be housed in the rear and front folding portions of the device. When open, the smartphone would look like a small tablet.
As per the patent sketches, the phone design is shown to have a primary display with an in-display fingerprint sensor as part of the screen. At the back, the phone would sport a triple rear camera setup and a USB connector for data transfer and charging.
So, when could Samsung bring this dual-folding design to the masses. We are not hedging our bets on this one as this is just a patent and Samsung may or may not implement the exact same design as described in its future foldable devices.
