Samsung patent reveals 360-degree foldable device

28 March 2025
A foldable that folds both inward and outward.

Sort by:

I woyld recommend tho camera island design more corner centric than side-centric.

    Finally Samsung!
    So hard to be excited about folds, but looking at this Camera-centric design, there is still hope.
    Full thickness available for sensors means it cam have s25ultra like cameras - but will it have such 🤷‍♂️

      This has been done before at it showed that an outward folding device really isn't a good ideea...

      Anyway, is yet again the point of this just flare? I don't see any real world practicality to this, unless if you want the inner/outer screen to be in constant danger of scratching, and no amount of ultrathin bendable glass is gonna change the fact it's top layer is still gonna be very damageable plastic

        folding the screen outwards is non-sense as seen in huawei devices. you just end up with dead pixels around the edge with a few contacts.

                    I'm so amazed! The new CO CEO is a big success for samsung!!!

                      Senibo Milla, 29 Mar 2025What problem does this solve exactly !? Let's see ....

                      outer screen folded device:
                      A parent on public transit with a small child in the only other seat being across from them and needing a different form of entertainment. This isn't a simple screen BUT the parent could run random questions in an education app for which the child can interact and answer for example.

                      Maybe an older preteen or tween or college buddy being randomly tested for an exam or SAT across from you.

                      Maybe an interviewer and the subject whereas teh subject could select items for certain points OF the interview to be taken as such.

                      collaboration.

                      These aer JUST at the top of my own thougths ... I'm sure if you opened your mind oculd think of a few unique others.

                        Learn the game before using big words your mind cannot comprehend. Either that or use langauge thesaurus if English isn't your native language - which I'm not shaming you for in any way. Just proof read each sentence if using ai language translation. It'll help the perception of what you intend to mean and moreover helps you understand any language. I myself am in teh basics of Spanish.

                            And the haters think Samsung doesn't Innovate anymore LMAO

                            WHat they don't know ...

                              Samsung has never had any experience with an outward-folding screen mechanism, so it'd be interesting to see how they tackle it. Huawei has done it three times before with the Mate X, Mate Xs, and Mate Xs 2, and they're still doing it for the fourth time now with the Mate XT Ultimate.

                                Looks really ugly. I know it's just a render, but it's way too wide when folded.

                                  Anonymous, 29 Mar 2025Samsung is no longer innovative... Already years ago they h... moreI've used samsung for years, I think they're great. Very sturdy, very reliable, good performance and whatnot. Chinese brands do not have a processor that beats snapdragon so the performance and quality of the products are largely the same. Chinese brands only differentiate themselves by having more storage, faster charging and good cameras.

                                  That sounds good but I have never needed as much as they offer. It's kind of like 'nice but not needed' and it's nothing that impressive that I'd abandon a trusted brand for something the CCP will harvest when they want to invade Taiwan or google will bar their services etc. like Huawei. I'm not risking spending anything on a chinese phone when they have aggressive, anti western dictators. Even outside of that my Z Fold 5 has been amazing and don't feel the need to upgrade at all.

                                    As always, TCL did it (years) before.
