Samsung ‘s new concept phone takes the world’s most popular foldable in a new direction،
Samsung is showing off a cool concept phone at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), called the “Flex in & Out Flip” concept device. The screen can be opened and closed and will even tilt backwards so you can use the screen even if it is closed. The screen measures 6.7 inches, like the Galaxy Z Flip 5, and when folded backwards, one side of the screen is larger than the other to prevent the cameras from being blocked.
According to CNET, the side of the screen with the extra real estate has enough space to display a few icons in the quick settings menu, the duration and percentage of remaining battery life, and the media playback controls. It seems obvious that this would be an interesting upgrade to the Galaxy Z Flip series, but the latter remains the most popular foldable phone in the world, which means Samsung is in no rush to bring any modifications to his foldable flip phone just for the fun of it. a change.

But Samsung might be more interested in accelerating development of the “Flex in & Out” concept for its book-style foldable. Last summer, Samsung Display released a video (which we've embedded in this article) showing a similar concept for its book model. foldable phone. It's a short video but what it shows is a Galaxy Z Fold type model that has the ability to close like a book, but also close by folding the screen back, allowing you to see half of the formerly internal screen when it becomes an external screen. .
Since consumers are already complaining that Samsung hasn't made any changes to the Galaxy Z Fold 5's design, work on this concept is expected to gain momentum. On the other hand, we cannot say that Samsung has not improved the Galaxy Z Flip 5 as it has significantly increased the size and capabilities of the external screen of this model after customer complaints.
It will be a few more years before we see the “Flex in & Out Flip” concept applied by Samsung to a phone that consumers can purchase. Until then, Samsung will surely offer interesting features that will rely on the possibility of folding the internal screen of the phone backwards.
