The foldable phone market has not stopped growing in recent years, which is logical if we take into account that this segment is still quite young, although some manufacturers such as Samsung have clearly taken the lead, with four generations of these devices already on the market. . Therefore, the Koreans are clearly at the next level, and they are already testing screens with which their competitors cannot compete. This is the case of this new screen presented by Samsung Displayand called “Flex In & Out” and that represents very well what it is capable of doing.
Foldable inside and out
The images you shared today Samsung They show a phone that certainly revolutionizes this concept of folding device, because it gets rid of the limitations that they present up to now, especially when we talk about the external screen. Since this is also fully integrated into the body of the device and wraps it on the outside. This means that the screen can be folded both out and in. And in this way, it does not matter if we have the phone on one side or the other, because in both cases the phone will be able to fold regardless of which side we are on.
The interesting thing about the concept is that, be able to fold 360 degrees, the screen may be folded as a huge external screen or otherwise hidden when folded. Come on, the customization options multiply, since Samsung could opt for a device like the current ones, with an external screen, or directly do without it, being able to orient the folding as we wish and always having the phone screen at hand no matter if it is open or closed.
Of course, it is a technology that, by allowing the screen to be folded in or out, allows many different formats, with double screens or with a single screen. The images, as Samsung is used to, show a phone with one of these screens and apparently fully functional, at least the screen seems to be on without any visual artifice.
For the Z Fold 5?
As expected, there are already many who have seen this new screen as an excellent novelty for the brand’s next folding mobile. Specifically, many already see it in the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5But the reality seems quite different. And it is that the novelties that the new folding of the Koreans will release seems much more limited to the hinge of the screen, which seems that it will finally fold completely, and will not leave the external screen of the phone tilted when it is closed.
Of course, this design is not ruled out for the next generation, the Galaxy Z Fold 6, or why not, for a totally new Samsung product, perhaps a Galaxy Z Flex. What is evident is that Samsung is way ahead of its competition when we talk about folding screens.
