As reported by Nikkei Asia, South Korean company Samsung is working on a smartphone that will fold in two places. This phone is expected to be released this year.
The source adds that Samsung has previously filed several patent applications for such a double-fold design. We are talking about a smartphone in a new form factor, which will accompany the successors of the foldable smartphones Galaxy Z Fold2 and Z Flip, expected in the middle of this year.
Samsung was the first to bring foldable smartphones to the market and offer users two form factors, while the South Korean manufacturer is going to maintain leadership in this new market by offering new folding options.
According to Nikkei Asia, when unfolded, the screen can have an aspect ratio of 16: 9 or 18: 9. It is worth noting that Xiaomi showed a prototype of such a smartphone two years ago, but very soon the Chinese manufacturer will release a flexible smartphone in the Galaxy Z Fold form factor in one bend point.
Samsung plans to sell over 10 million foldable smartphones this year, up from 3.5 million units last year.
