It was reported a few months ago that among the new form factors being considered for Samsung’s second foldable smartphone, the company had created a clamshell prototype. The report also mentioned that Samsung had begun fine-tuning the design.
Additional reports have also hinted at the possibility that the next Galaxy Fold will have a clamshell or flip phone-like design. Samsung has now dropped what might be the biggest hint about its next foldable smartphone.
The next Galaxy Fold is likely to have a clamshell form factor
The company has posted a video on YouTube titled “A New Form Factor for Foldable Smartphones.” It starts off by providing a refresher about how the user interface looks on the existing Galaxy Fold. It then changes slightly to show what the UI would look like on a device that folds around a horizontal axis.
A side angle is also provided to drive the point home that the UI will work just as well on a vertically folding device. A side-by-side comparison is also provided between the two form factors which shows how the UI will resize elements if the clamshell device is partially folded. It’s evident that Samsung has a clear idea of what the UI should be like on a vertically folding smartphone.
As per earlier reports, the next foldable smartphone from Samsung is codenamed “Bloom” and has the model number SM-F700F. We reported earlier today that newly obtained battery info also suggests that this device is going to have a clamshell form factor.
Samsung’s second foldable smartphone is expected to be cheaper than the $2,000 Galaxy Fold. There aren’t a lot of details available about the device just yet. However, it is believed to feature a 6.7-inch foldable display and a 1-inch cover display which would only be used to show simple information when the device is closed.
This is certainly an exciting development as it provides a glimpse of what the future might hold for the Galaxy Fold series. Do you like what you see? Let us know in the comments below.
