Ah like the yotaphone,
Experimental Android from Russia quite a few years back, had an e ink screen on the back showing just basic stuff like time, notifications, etc
Too bad that phone reviewed like shits. How do you make an e-ink hybrid with no advantages at all to battery life
That's impressive if so, but until we see it in circulation where it's under more rigorous use, I'd still be wary. How durability is affected by knocks or dust/lint in the mechanical parts.
Yeah but this is actually exciting as hell.
Looking forward to the fold wars
Wow! Thanks for showing me this. I've heard the name before but never seen it; that looks beautiful!Ah like the yotaphone,

Did this guy or gal really deserve a ban due to platform warring? I've seen much, much worse on this very site over longer periods lol
They already have several similar patents so it wouldn't surprise me if they and other vendors were already working on similar hardware. That said though, this definitely seems like a thing I wouldn't want to be an earlier adopter for - so count me in with the "i'll Wait for several revisions to see how it pans out" crowd.
Yeah, probably gonna be a while before the tech is mature enough for a sleek design.
Nope, it's a truly awful idea. I like Samsungs phones, actually more than any of their rivals. I still think the S9 is the best physical handset so far. Notches suck and motorized parts are beyond stupid. Samsung are still leading in design for me... But foldable? Nah dawg.
They'll probably have some cool gimmicks. Simply presenting a foldable phone is eh. They need to show us why we need it.
I'm interested in a folder but not sure if practical... Cool scifi tech though
The only concept I feel would have any real world value would be one like a roll of camera film. So when it's closed, it's a small tube with a flat edge, and just that edge is displayed, then you extend it and it somehow remains flat. I don't think I'd want that device, but I think it has some value. But a wallet phone? With a giant thick hindge? And it's going to be crazy expensive?
they have the other phones too, the S10 should be revolutionary with it's underscreen sensors/camera/speaker and graphene battery tech
youll still have a little seam, kind of like "360 monitors" people have for their game setups
I guess we'll see how it's positioned. If the S and Note are still like the main things and this is like 'We made this freaky thing if you're into that stuff', but the Galaxies remain the big push, then I think it'll be easier to consider it an experiment, rather than a failed replacement of their flgship, if that makes any sense.
sure, that's what it seems like. Rumors are they drop the S from the main phones so it's just Samsung Galaxy 10, 10+, 10(Small?), Note 10 and the Galaxy "F" for the folding one.
A small would be cool to see. They've made like smaller S models or similar smaller phones, but they've always been after the fact and kind of b-tier. If their flagship line has a small form factor entry from day one, they'll be the only manufacturer doing it at this point. Could be a good move.
well them and Sony, and apple tried it a couple times. I would love for it to become a trend again, phones are ludicrously large these days...
