Samsung has patented a groundbreaking foldable smartphone that can fold both inward and outward, providing flexibility without needing a separate outer screen. This unique device, described in a recent patent, features advanced supportive layers under the flexible display, allowing for dual-directional bending. Unlike traditional foldables, Samsung's design maintains an exposed display strip even when folded, showing off its futuristic capabilities. Although a similar concept was demoed in 2023, details on its commercial availability remain unclear, highlighting both the innovation and the challenges in production.
Most foldable smartphones today have a single folding direction, but Samsung's new patent for a dual-direction foldable device could revolutionize phone design.
The design has 360-degree folding areas, eliminating the need for a cover display while providing a flexible screen that can fold in both directions.
