Are there still many people who remember that Xiaomi has tried to make a surround screen phone? After the launch of the original surround screen mobile phone, it is amazing! Of course, because the technical difficulty is too high, Xiaomi did not mass-produce it on a large scale after research and development, but did research as a direction of its own innovation and research. Perhaps with the development of technology, it is very likely that surround screen mobile phones will really come out.
However, a new folding screen mobile phone that Samsung has just applied for a patent is not only very scientific and technological, but also a new form of surround screen.
Judging from the patent picture, this new folding screen is very special, it is indeed an L-shaped design, and after unfolding the screen, it can form a very unique appearance. Of course, the screen size will also be further expanded.
Of course, from the patent picture, we still can't see the coolness of this design; some netizens have made renderings for the patent map, let's take a look!
You can see that after the screen is folded, it looks like the design of the surround screen!
After unfolding, it is very similar to the rotary screen mobile phone that LG once released: LG Wing. Interestingly, because it is folded horizontally, it can be seen as a "clamshell" design!
In the patent, the detailed design of some mobile phones is mentioned.
The folding screen will be made of Samsung's own UTG ultra-thin glass, so it will be quite good in terms of solidity and touch sensitivity, and the same protective layer as the current Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3.
This phone will use a dual battery design. And such a design, mainly because after folding open, it is necessary to fold and unfold the screen through hinges; perhaps the dual battery will be designed on the top of the two screens that are unfolded.
And because the folding screen becomes the appearance form of the surrounding screen, the space of the camera module may be further compressed; however, the patent above, there is no actual configuration description of the camera; just the design of three cameras + one flash.
Because of the unique advantages in the screen supply chain, it can be said that Samsung mobile phones have unique advantages in appearance innovation; therefore, whether the mobile phone can be mass-produced this time, it is an exploration of the new form of mobile phones by Samsung, and it is also a reflection on the future mobile phone form. Even if similar to many mobile phone manufacturers, patent applications but mass production are far away, this is also a very successful attempt.
