AT Samsung revealed the drawings to the study for the Galaxy Fold? In advance of Expected recovery of the foldable smartphone at IFA Berlin in September, a new design patent filed this month shows the South Korean company's thoughts on hinge placement
Ilse Jurrien has reported for the first time design patents at Let's Go Digital, which provided Forbes with this exclusive concept making the new design.

What drew my attention to these patents is the filing dates. They were published on August 26, 2019, but were deposited twelve days earlier, on August 14. Given the reengineering of the hinge to which Samsung has been attacking since the deferred launch of the original Galaxy Fold, the publication date of this patent is curious.
The patents cover a number of form factors for folding smartphones. There is left-handed and right-handed models that fold a bit like the back of a book, in the manner of the current Galaxy Fold. There is also a horizontal folding phone it opens like an easel in A.
The latter offers a different aspect ratio when closed and looks more like a game console with wider glasses and a screen that has a better proportion compared to the long and thin screen of the original Galaxy Fold. Given the choice, I prefer this horizontal folding layout.

The Galaxy Fold may have made the headlines in February when it was launched alongside the Galaxy S11 family, but its withdrawal before it went on sale (but after the media filed the first reviews) was an embarrassing moment. Can Samsung recover this prestige? We should know this in the coming weeks.
