Samsung's folding phone patent is not the future we want
There's every chance that smartphones of the future will have folding screens. The tech has been under development for a long time, and we already see curved displays on the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, so it seems like it will only be a matter of time, but when it does arrive we hope it looks nothing like it does in this Samsung patent.
Unearthed by Patently Mobile, the design shows a phone which when unfolded looks like any other Samsung handset, complete with rounded corners, an oblong home button and a camera jutting out the back. But there's a fold in the middle, which allows you to fold the screen in on itself and turn it into a shorter, chunkier shape. The phone could make it easier to fit in pockets, but all you're trading is length for thickness.
