AnonD-598396, 18 Jan 2017this device exactly its the same device use it in /WESTWORLD\ SERIES, same performanceYou didn't really take a close look at Westworld did you?
Samsung has/had a similar patent. They only issue those to keep competitors from actualizing similar plans.
It's patent trolling, they only keep them to discourage the competition. I doubt they'd ever materialize in ... a product form. Which is a shame such designs used to be the future... that is before the Koreans started the patent trolling...

All these concepts.. just as annoying as concept cars..
Anonymous, 18 Jan 2017I'm so curious on how they gonna make the plastic flexible screen scratch-free.A good guess would be a suitably elastic cheap screen protector film, that you just swap as needed..
If you hope for tempered glass I doubt very much that it would be possible with current technology, as it is a trade off. Since traditionally as materials get harder they also get more brittle, and thus non-elastic.

just sharing :), 17 Jan 2017Wrong way? Isnt most of the patent and prototype made correctly. See here: http://www.shell... moreThese looks to be the 'correct' way, yeah. So I should perhaps have said that most that are reported in here are folding the wrong way. :)

...It could be even better if they made the same idea like overlapping triptych, with the centre one fixed
Three 16:9 displays would combine to 27:16 and adding 5% for the two edges we get 16:9 ratio again.
Three 4.5" would combine to a 8" tablet
This could be
a QHD (2560x1440) that folds into 3x 1440x810 + 130 pixels edges
a 3416x1920 that folds into 3xFHD(1920x1080) + 176 pixels edges
a QFHD (3840x2160) that folds into 3x 2160x1215 + 195 pixels edges

And let us keep our fingers crossed that this will end as a device.

Even I thought the old Samsung Patents showed a still-wide smartphone. But this one is very discreet. It looks like a proper long smartphone while folded and just imagine the expressions on people's face (:O) when you unfold it into a small tablet!!!
AnonD-632062, 17 Jan 2017Aren't you the same Eske Rahn from the old GSMArena blog? Cool. ;)
Anyways, this is pretty ... moreYup, that's me :)
And let us keep our fingers crossed that this will end as a device.
The proof of concepts/patents we have seen earlier, have folding the 'wrong' way, folding a phablet, to a still wide pill-box.
This is MUCH better, unfold a PHONE sized device (that can be operated completely by one hand by most people) to a small tablet.
Think two 4.6" FHD that unfolds to a 6.0" roughly quadratic (9:8) 2160x1920 , 479DPI
this is the future: phone (unfold) tablet (plug to dock with gpu) pc
