In recent years, Samsung has dominated the foldable mobile market, and it seems to be working on new concepts. Samsung’s patent for a smartphone with a triple screen and two folds has become known , a step beyond current models.
The recent Oppo Find N and Huawei P50 Pocket make it clear that other manufacturers want to steal share from Samsung in this segment, so the South Korean brand works on new ideas. This future model will include a secondary exterior screen and an interior screen that folds into three parts , thanks to the use of two hinges.
The patent describes details such as the fingerprint reader and the selfie camera under the main screen , a panel that would also support the S Pen stylus . In the back it would include a triple main camera, something already common in recent mobiles.
The internal design of the folding would have peculiarities, for example, a double antenna to compensate for the loss of coverage that this format supposes. In fact, the possibility of adding more antennas to boost the signal is mentioned.
We also have a double battery , which would go in the outermost panels, leaving the central one free. In addition to the USB connector, Samsung would include an HDMI video output , perhaps the aspect that generates the most doubts.
A standard HDMI is too big for a mobile phone, and in addition a MicroSD card slot and a headphone jack are also referenced. It is possible that Samsung’s patent seeks to cover all the possibilities, although they will not be implemented later.
Samsung obtained this patent in December 2021, but we do not know when it would launch a triple screen folding , or if it really has the technology to manufacture a mobile like this at a commercial level.
In fact, at the beginning of 2020 we already saw a Xiaomi folding with three parts, and since then the prototype does not seem to have made any progress, nor does it have an expected launch date.
Of course, Samsung’s triple-screen folding mobile is spectacular , but the brand is focused on the Galaxy S22 for the coming months, and will probably not introduce new folding until the summer of 2022.
