The Chinese company Huawei is determined to enter the market of folding smartphones as well as technological giants such as Samsung and Apple.
At the beginning of this week the first images of the patent of a device with a screen that could be folded in a similar way to a book were known, according to the specialized portal Gizmo China.
Although the patent was filed on September 19, the document has just been revealed by the portal of the World Intellectual Property Organization.
This proposal consists of a mechanism of soft folding and a hard structure, similar to a hinge, which allows it to close and adopt a similar size to that of a conventional ‘smartphone’. When deployed, the device would be transformed into a larger tablet.
However, the patent does not include the operation of the device while it is folded, so it is difficult to know how the notifications will be handled or if it will have an external ‘led’ or ‘led’ that indicates important information such as or load level. Battery.
The presence of a folding panel involves the use of a flexible glass or other material resistant to bending. At the moment the date of its release is unknown, although it is not expected to occur shortly.
Unfortunately, the efforts of other competitors such as Samsung and its Galaxy X, to develop folding screens will be released soon given the difficulties involved in the development of this technology.
