A patent recently issued by the South Korean manufacturer Samsung shows a smartphone that is strongly reminiscent of the products of two competing manufacturers.
The LetsGoDigital portal now discovered that the manufacturer Samsung at the United States Patent Office a very unusual design patent for a Samsung phone has submitted. The device therefore not only has two additional displays, but also seems to take a small design excursion towards the manufacturers Sony and LG. Does the manufacturer therefore work on a real entertainment device?
Samung mobile phone comes with an unusual design
Is Samsung taking a trip to the adventurous design country? The patent for a new Samsung mobile phone currently shows an arc-shaped device that has an extra screen at both ends of the display and is therefore reminiscent of the design of the Playstation Portable and the trademark of the V series from the manufacturer LG.
The following picture illustrates how the device could look like according to the LetsGoDigital portal:
These advantages bring the additional screens with them
The two additional displays on the front of the Samsung phone could therefore show additional information or buttons without appearing on the main screen and disturbing the user with an annoying overlay during other activities.
Furthermore, information can be displayed on the mobile phone using the additional screens without having to switch on the large screen, which requires significantly more energy. But: In times of OLED displays, this is rather a minor advantage, since it saves a lot of energy anyway, since pixels can be switched on and off individually. That is why, for example, always-on displays, which display information permanently even when the cell phone is in standby mode, have hardly any effect on the battery life, reported Curved.
However, smartphone patents are rarely a guarantee that these devices will actually appear on the mobile phone market. It remains to be seen whether Samsung is currently really working on the nostalgically inspired model or has already rejected this idea. Nevertheless, such patents can certainly become a reality. So a recent Apple leak reveals what the new functions of the iPhone camera could look like, Speaking of patent: A New York cardiologist accuses Apple of using his patent without prior consultation.
