Samsung's Korean patent shows tri-folding tablet design - SlashGear
It seems that Samsung is getting back on track when it comes to its fantastical display ambitions. Once known for its obsession for foldable and bendable displays, Samsung is once again the subject of rumors of equally fantastical devices of the future. This latest shows a tablet that can fold in three parts to become what could very well be a phablet. Samsung's obsession with that idea is well noted in the history of the industry and its patent portfolio is probably filled to the brim. In this patent, the whole device is segmented into three parts, with the two outer panels folding in opposite directions. This way, one side of the folded contraption will have the camera facing outwards, while the opposite side will have the display. One side even shows a bit of the display ala the Galaxy Note Edge. This is quite a different idea from previous single fold prototypes and concepts, which would have had either both or no sides showing the display. Samsung, of course, now has enough experience with bendable displays, as it flaunted in the Galaxy S6 edge. Of course, a curved display and a completely foldable one are very different.
