New Samsung patent for a bendable smartphone

Today, many gadget manufacturers are striving to master the technologies associated with flexible gadgets . Especially a lot of ideas comes from large companies.

Of course, Samsung developers are not willing to lag behind the leaders of the mobile device market. More recently, they developed a device whose display can be folded, as well as the case. This idea was shown in a patent obtained by Samsung.

The documentation provided for registering a patent for an invention contains a description of a mobile device having a special design. The main difference from the usual mobile phone is that this new gadget has a flexible area. This bend area is located in the middle of the device and is located across the screen.

The code designation of the new go - smartphone Project Valley. Presumably, it should have a much longer body compared to the usual smartphone. It is precisely due to such elongation that the necessary shape in a bent form can be provided.

When the phone is folded, its plastic area is stretched, more precisely, it is revealed like an accordion or a hinge. Previously, the technology of such a hinge was used in the device Surface Book from Microsoft. A rather large cavity is formed in the fold area on the side of the screen. In this position, the smartphone is a bit like a money clip.

The screen of the device will have a 4k format, but with a special non-standard aspect ratio. Of course, for such an unusual smartphone will require special software. According to some reports, experts are already working on this, creating programs for working with such a display, endowing it with new unusual features.

Of course, this is so far only a patent describing the method of the possible application of the developed technology. Rumor has it that the company plans to begin production of this device next year. But this does not mean that the production will really begin in the near future, and we should expect an update of the Samsung device line. The product may not appear at all contrary to all the expectations of fans of the company and its equipment.
