Images accompanying the patent certificate give us some idea of what the device might look like. While one part of the device can be folded forward like a clamshell phone, the second fold will be backwards. However, unlike theGalaxy Foldor theMate X,the device won’t transform into a tablet when fully unfolded. Instead, it will remain a smartphone, if only a rather elongated one.
Interestingly, as can be seen from the images, the device may not be folded completely flat. The sketches also do not seem to show any buttons, connectors or cameras. Of course, that’s possibly because the patent applicant was Samsung Display and not Samsung Electronics. There’s no further information about the patent or any device based on it at this point, but we’ll hopefully get more details soon.
