Samsung GALAXY X is the truly innovative future phone that the company Samsung will launch it on the global markets right at the beginning of next year, there is a lot of interest around it. We are talking about a smartphone that has a foldable screen, something that so far no one has been able to successfully implement in a phone, and the Samsung GALAXY X seems to force Apple to develop a similar model of the iPhone in order not to be left behind with innovations.
The Samsung GALAXY X forces Apple to continue developing a foldable iPhone, and today we see new images from a patent that show us the plans of those from Cupertino. In the recently registered Apple patent, number 20180217639, Apple describes how it could create a foldable screen for the iPhone, similar to that of the Samsung GALAXY X, which could be folded in multiple ways, including like a book, or in Zig Zag.
Samsung GALAXY X FORCES Apple to make a REVOLUTIONARY iPhone
Samsung GALAXY X will have a screen produced by Samsung, and Apple could also use Koreans for production, but it says that it can create a screen that can be protected with a special material so that it does not get damaged in case of multiple bending. This material would support the part that bends and not break in the case of intense use, and in the case of the Samsung GALAXY X it could be something similar applied by Samsung.
"Embodiments described herein relate to techniques for forming flexible cover sheets. In particular, cover sheets may be formed to facilitate localized bending or flexing without producing unacceptable levels of internal stress. In some embodiments, the continuous layer of ceramic material may be treated to modify the stress state in the layer in order to facilitate folding of the layer. For example, the continuous layer of ceramic material may have a reduced stress condition at an intermediate configuration, between the folded configuration and the unfolded configuration of the electronic device."
The Samsung GALAXY X could be the first foldable smartphone, and those from Apple are not in a hurry to enter this market until they have a phone that is really worth launching and offers a very good experience. Samsung GALAXY X could be preceded by products from Huawei and Xiaomi, the company Apple is going to launch a foldable iPhone after all these manufacturers, it is currently collaborating with LG to test prototypes.
