Samsung foldable screen mobile phone patent exposed: only one external screen, or does it fold outward?

【CNMO Technology News】When it comes to Samsung’s next foldable screen phones, everyone knows they are Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6. Although these two mobile phones have been officially announced and will be officially released on July 10, some Japanese media have discovered some information about the design of the next generation of small folding screen mobile phones that will be released starting next year.

According to CNMO, an overseas whistleblower exposed Samsung’s patent-related information on the X platform and pointed out that the next generation (Z Flip 7 and subsequent versions) of small folding screen mobile phones will only have an external display.

As you can see, none of the foldable phones in these pictures have a secondary display, a common external screen, and the devices are designed to close outwards.

Currently, the main display screens of small folding screen mobile phones are closed inwards. Once closed, they cannot be used, and only the external screen can be used. The solution in Samsung's patent is very rare among small folding screen mobile phones. It can also be said that there are currently no mass-produced models designed in this way.

1. The outer folding design allows users to use the phone normally when it is folded.

2. The structure is simplified and the number of displays is reduced, further reducing production costs.
3. Fold the display outward to create a gentle curve, reducing the possibility of creases.

   

   At present, it is unclear whether this folding screen design will appear on Z Flip 7 or subsequent versions, but if it becomes a reality, the folding screen device industry will usher in a new round of development.
