Samsung patent shows image of foldable Galaxy device in full detail
Today, a new Samsung patent of one such potential idea has surfaced, dubbed simply Flexible Device. Granted, it has been submitted last year, and just now becomes public, but there might be some hints in it as to where Samsung is heading. The patent filing depicts a foldable device with a hinge mechanism, and both fixed, as well as detachable cameras, which is pretty intriguing. The big camera socket at the rear is apparently allowing to mount different lenses, including what seems like one with optical zoom.
Even more interesting is a grainy photo of what looks like a dummy or prototype of sorts, though the image is too low-quality to determine. To what extent will these patents translate to a finalized device, remains to be seen, but given that it isn't expected until the second half of 2017, we are certain that there will be enough leaks by then to figure it out.
