Samsung it seems to be in the process of copying the cutout of the phone iPhone X company's Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, the Koreans registering today a new patent in which they very clearly reveal their intentions for future phones. In the image below you have an illustration that was extracted from one of the patents registered to the Samsung company the other day, it shows very clearly the intention of the Koreans to follow the stupid trend of cutouts in phone screens.
Some say that Samsung Galaxy S10 would be presented in this patent registered for those from Samsung, but it is very unlikely that Samsung would want to copy the cutout from the iPhone X phones so quickly. There we still see a series of sensors similar to those that the Apple company integrated it into the iPhone X this year, those from Samsung currently having difficulties in copying the TrueDepth camera that Apple offers.
Samsung wants to copy the iPhone X cutout
Samsung has not only patented a phone that is thought to copy the cutout from the iPhone X screen, but also a phone that has a borderless screen for the front panel of the case, which is much more impressive. Unlike what Apple did for the iPhone X, the Samsung company wants to integrate a fingerprint reader under the screen of its future phones, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 being the first model to offer this functionality.
Which of these two Samsung phone models will be launched first is very difficult to say, but if you were to ask me, I would say that the model with a cutout in the screen has a better chance of going on sale first. In the meantime, Samsung wants to launch a foldable phone this year, unless the Huawei guys hurry up and put this smartphone model on sale faster, although that seems unlikely.
