Do you remember OPPO's scroll screen phone? Its debut surprised everyone. It is considered by the industry to be the best replacement for folding screen mobile phones in the future, but due to technical reasons, it is currently only in the engineering machine stage and cannot be officially commercialized. After all, the screen of the scroll screen mobile phone is mobile, and the problem of the front camera cannot be solved.
In fact, after OPPO released the scroll screen, there was once a brand that almost took the lead in the world to commercialize similar mobile phones. This brand is LG, but LG has withdrawn from the smartphone field. So everyone has their eyes on Samsung, after all, Samsung has the world's top display technology.
On April 17, Samsung officially announced the patent of its scroll screen mobile phone, which has two patents. One is a scroll screen like OPPO X2021, and the other is an up and down scroll screen, just like a pop-up front camera. It can be seen from the published patents that Samsung also did not solve the problem of the front camera, because their positive but without any openings.
The purpose of Samsung's patent announcement is not known, but it can be clear that Samsung has prepared for the next form of the folding screen. The fuselage scroll is to replace the current Samsung Galaxy Z Fold, and the vertical scroll is definitely to replace the Samsung Galaxy Z Filp.
Industry evaluation No matter what the purpose of Samsung's patent announcement is, it is only hoped that Samsung can commercial scroll screen mobile phones earlier. After all, its practicality and portability are much stronger than today's folding screens.
Whether it is Samsung or OPPO who took the lead in commercial scroll screen mobile phones, this is a boost for the overall smartphone industry. After all, the current field of smart phones is more or less boring, folding screen commercial for three or four years still can not satisfy consumers, technology is still immature, the entry threshold is still very high.
