| Samsung is developing a dual-fold phone |
According to a report by Nikkei Asian Review, Samsung is developing a foldable phone to increase the range.
According to this article, this two-hinged phone could be folded into three parts and released as early as the end of this year.
This phone will be the third choice in the group of Samsung foldable devices, as it is connected to the Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip and is expected to appear in the new version this year.
According to the report, the design is still in progress, but the goal of the new design is to raise the aspect ratio of the fully exposed screen to 16: 9 or 18: 9 to avoid problems. Scaling on the current Galaxy Z. Fold 2 ...
It is worth noting that the appearance of previous phones with multiple foldable functions (such as the prototype of the Xiaomi foldable phone) has been folded in two places, but the design used by the company is similar to that of the foldable Galaxy Fold.
The Huawei Mate X2 foldable device also uses a design similar to that of Samsung, and it would be a bit ridiculous for Samsung to create a double fold design after others adopt its single-fold style.
Samsung could launch a new type of foldable device to help users switch to foldable phones.
Samsung announced that it might skip the new Galaxy Note this year, but it's not entirely clear why.
People have been talking about phone product rationing and global chip scarcity, but it could be a test to see if Galaxy Note users are ready.
By choosing three foldable options for customers, Samsung can try to trick users into finding the one that works best for them.
The dual version of this phone may depend on Samsung's ability to fix the chip shortage that plagues the entire industry.
Foldable phones are more difficult to manufacture than standard smartphones. If Samsung doesn't get the chips it needs, the company's plans may be delayed.
However, it is interesting that Samsung is developing a third foldable phone as it appears that the Korean giant is still seeing foldable phones in the future.
Additionally, the report states that Samsung plans to increase its production and sales targets for foldable devices in 2021.
Samsung has already filed for patents for a number of dual-screen smartphone designs, including one that appeared in late 2020.
