EDIT 28SEP2017:
- Samsung has a new hinge design patent meant for small devices
- It has a single flexible hinge which would suggest a single fold in the middle of the phone
- This patent combines Samsung’s flexible OLED technology with a simplistic minimal hinge in the center
- Will Samsung use this technology for larger phablet sized devices to allow extreme portability without the cost of not fitting in your pocket?
The smartphone code-named Project Valley (aka Project V, model number: SM-G929F) is rumored to launch in 2016 according to sources speaking to SamMobile. Samsung is known to make bold moves when it comes to their popular smartphone products. How soon will Samsung bring back the classic flip-phone style with a new twist and hopefully new features? Let us know if you would be interested in a new foldable phone in the comments below! Also, Behance has a concept idea that I found quite interesting in explaining how the fold itself may function when opened/closed.
