To remain forward of the competitors, the South Korean tech behemoth has been patenting foldable units in numerous sizes and types. Simply final week, a patent filed by the agency’s sister firm Samsung Show was unearthed by LetsGoDigital. Now, the publication has noticed one other patent filed by Samsung Electronics.
Foldable smartphones are mentioned to be the following large factor in client electronics. They’re already right here however are out of attain for most individuals. Fortunately, they’re anticipated to get cheaper in the approaching years because the tech matures. Within the meantime, corporations like Samsung will proceed to patent new designs.
The newly noticed foldable design patent was filed by Samsung Electronics with the WIPO (World Mental Property Workplace) in April. It acquired authorised and revealed on October 15 titled ‘Foldable digital machine together with a plurality of camera modules’.
