New patent says Samsung is working on a new vertically folding smartphone

Motorola is expected to revive the legendary Motorola Razr by launching a foldable smartphone that adopts the same design by leaning on a long folding screen. The Samsung Galaxy Fold, the first collapsible smartphone from the South Korean company, has taken a different approach. It has a large screen similar to a small tablet that folds in the middle, allowing users to use this device as a smartphone when it is folded. And as a tablet in case it is stretched. However, a new Samsung patent says it is also working on a foldable phone that will compete directly with the Motorola Razr 2019 phone.

This patent was published by the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO) earlier this month. Thanks to LetsGoDigital, we have a collection of computer images that shows us what this design can look like in real life.

Once folded, the device can be folded so that the outside screen is similar to the Huawei Mate X phone, which allows to exploit a portion of the screen for d & # 39; other tasks. These tasks may include changing songs, taking selfies since the rear camera is accessible in case of folding, as well as taking a look at the notifications.

What sets this design apart from that used in the future Motorola Razr 2019 phone is the folding mechanism, which will give the hinge room for maneuver and allow the use of the device in different positions during folding, including the ability to fold or fold the screen. This is certainly a new and exciting concept, and the opportunity for a manufacturer to test a brand new model is interesting. Smartphones with flip-up screens are the future, as evidenced by the growing number of companies interested in creating their own flip-friendly smartphones.

The foldable smartphone market has had a difficult start, but the Huawei Mate X and Galaxy Fold are approaching the launch date after many delays. Originally, he was supposed to launch the first phone and the second in April.
