Samsung develops Flex Note with foldable smartphone.
Samsung recently announced the latest foldable smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Galaxy Z Flip 3. With the advent of new foldable phones, the business seemed to be moving away from the popular Galaxy Note series of smartphones. However, new trademarks and patents show that the note rules will be significantly updated with respect to design.
According to a report by LetsGoDigital, a major Korean technology exhibition unit has applied for a trademark named “Flex Note” and a design patent with CNIPA (China National Intellectual Property Office). This patent describes a large screen smartphone that can be folded and rotated around the device. With its compact form, the device looks like the front of a regular smartphone, with a large, foldable folding screen facing from back to back. Looking at the compact shape from behind, the casing screen covers about half of the back panel.
The user can expand this screen. This will increase the size of the entire smartphone screen. This makes it look like a tablet from the beginning. Another unique aspect of the design is that it includes slots for S-pen style. In other words, the device comes with an S-pen holder and a special magnetic housing. In particular, the device is as thick as its compact shape. However, when you unfold the screen, there is a noticeable difference between the center of the back panel and the other side that houses the foldable surround screen.
However, since the magnetic sheath of the S-pen is in the area behind the folding screen, this difference in thickness also serves its purpose. If the screen is folded, the S Pen can be safely stored and removed in the form of a tablet if needed. Another interesting aspect is that the rear camera module isn’t listed in the patent sketch, but the company has a dual camera built in under the screen in the upper right corner, so you can shoot both selfies in good condition. .. Compact primary sensor. At this point, it’s unclear if the company is actually working on such a product or if it covers all locations. So stay tuned for future updates.
