Rumor has it Samsung is gearing up to release its first foldable smartphone, codenamed “Project Valley,“明年年初. 这听起来像是科幻小说, 但是从韩国公司最近的专利被发现 显然移动 reveals how Samsung could pull it off.
The theoretical design combines Samsung’s flexible OLED technology with a new hinge setup. 还有在铰链的任一侧的一对弹簧把整个系统供电. 该专利在上个月浮出水面, though it was filed back in 2014 when the company first started teasing the possibility of a foldable smartphone.
它看起来像一个非常实用的概念, 虽然我们仍然不知道为什么会有人真正想要可折叠智能手机. 如果你是大phablets的粉丝，这可能很容易地适应设备在你的口袋里一旦它被折叠起来. 还, that’s probably not enough to convince us to pay extra for this futuristic handset, unless the display is truly seamless when fully unfolded.
If Samsung really does launch a foldable smartphone, 我们相信它会引入一些新的噱头去用它, though hopefully the company can come up with something really worthwhile for the rumored device.
