Everything indicates that with the bump that Huawei is going through, and with the rest of the manufacturers not deciding to launch anything officially, Samsung wants to continue leading the market for folding mobile phones. This strategy would go through better the designs and features of the two folding mobiles, with such different styles that Samsung has on the market right now, such as the Galaxy Z Fold2 and the Galaxy Z Flip. Now, we can take a closer look at those potential improvements.
Therefore and according to the clues revealed by the LetsGoDigital portal, it seems that Samsung is determined to launch a Galazy Z Fold3 and a Galaxy Z Flip2 . Both terminals will have important improvements in terms of usability, such as a greater use of the number of folds.
More possibilities on the Galaxy Z Fold3
According to patents filed by Samsung with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) and WIPO (World Intellectual Property Office), the Galaxy Z Fold3 would have a triple-folding system . Interestingly, Samsung Display’s own blog has suggested a similar device in one of their comics where they talk about the future of display technology.
In the patent, a terminal can be seen that can be folded and unfolded in a Z shape, which makes it even more compact or larger when unfolded . When folded, it is used as a smartphone to use and has enough screen to interact with all the elements of the device, when fully deployed we have the classic tablet design.
The triple pleat can give a lot of play to use certain functions or change positions when necessary , while we multitask on each of the pleats. There is no doubt that at the software level, this system once again represents a new challenge.
The Galaxy F Flip 2, with two hinges
The second model seems to allude to the successor to the current Galaxy Z Flip, that is, that smartphone that instead of increasing in size, folds to compact and be more comfortable to handle. The original model can only be folded and unfolded one way, but the new model would have two hinges so that the device can be folded in two points.
When fully folded, the case protects the screen, but at least one of the two parts can be unfolded, for example the bottom , so that the camera system is colored in the front and it is possible to take selfies or video calls. The interface is fully adapted so that all content is displayed on both sides. Its fully stretched screen will exceed 6.7 inches on the current Z Flip, making it ideal for more information on long web pages. You can also display applications simultaneously thanks to the double fold, for example to search for information on the network while we are in the middle of a video call.
2021 and the folding
Although it is almost certain that Samsung will launch more folding devices during 2021, be it these models or other variants, its democratization in price does not seem to be closer . For that to happen, other manufacturers must also come into play, which will tighten the nuts on the price. Let us remember that manufacturers such as OPPO, Xiaomi, LG or TCL, have expressed their interest in folding mobiles, without for the moment they have dared to launch a commercial model.
