Samsung's foldable phone may not look like the Infinity Flex prototype, as five hinge types are examined
KH Vatec prides in its hinge-making prowess that can end up in Samsung's foldable phone
The hinge is to be produced by the specialists from KH Vatec, and the supplier has allegedly presented no less than five models to Samsung. The Korean giant is yet to take a final decision on its end design options, though.
Thus, the foldable phone may end up being a side-opening affair like the folio prototype shown on stage, but it could also go top to bottom like an oldfashioned flip phone. Two of the five hinge designs have the most chance to end up in Samsung's first F-series phone, but mum's the word on which exactly.
KH Vatec has to ensure that the two opposite ends of the display meet in a folded state, so that the whole device is more durable during falls, tip the sources. It has also developed hinges that open in stages, like your laptop screen that can be adjusted to your viewing angle and is released with a push button. Whether or not that option will be deployed by Samsung apparently depends largely on how fast Google can adapt the Android interface to the new foldable phone realities, and we can't wait to see what the Gumby phone will end up looking like.
