Tablets can do things that smartphones can't do. Foldable smartphones can do things that regular smartphones can't do. Consequently, it was inevitable that someone would end up making a foldable tablet, and a patent shows Samsung's attempts to do exactly that. Discovered by LetsGoDigital, this patent shows a flexible dual-fold device with 2 hinges, instead of current devices like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold two with a single fold. The patent was filed in the USA at the end of 3 and has just been granted. In fact, we had heard a rumor that Samsung was working on a product like this, probably for a launch in XNUMX, but it's on hold now. In the patent there are different cases of use of the illustrated tablet. Certains d'entre eux incluent des façons de le plier, comme avec les deux côtés de l'appareil qui se replient derrière lui pour créer un écran plus petit, ou dans un design en forme de S qui se traduirait à nouveau par un écran plus little. We can also see how open apps would be split between screens, while a graphic shows three overlapping windows on the tablet, which are separated into different areas when the screen is folded.

In fact, several images show designs for tabs or open applications depending on which way the tablet is folded; For example, if the tablet is slightly folded in a crease, resulting in one large screen and one small screen, possibly a different app will appear on each of them. These images make the foldable tablet a great productivity tool, as you can easily switch to split-screen mode by simply flexing the screen. Some images show the first example with a large screen and a multitude of controls on the second smaller screen, which could be useful for multiple types of work. Additionally, the image of a giant whiteboard folded in half looks a lot like a large, curved gaming monitor, and that could make the tablet great for mobile gaming or streaming, as the screen could stay upright. itself without being supported. When we notify about patents, we must mention that patented products do not necessarily become real products, but are tests of technology; This is doubly the case for a foldable device, as we see many patents. materialize. We'd love to see a great foldable tablet like this one as it seems like it would be even better for working or playing than a regular tablet.
