Samsung Display has teased a foldable phone with multi-folding design

Samsung Display has teased a foldable phone with a multi-folding design.
This would theoretically allow for a larger tablet display.

Samsung is the undisputed leader in the foldable phone space right now, offering a polished clamshell foldable in the Galaxy Z Flip and a much-improved large-screen experience in the Galaxy Z Fold 2.

Now, Samsung Display may have given us a hint of future foldable phone designs, as it recently teased a device with a multi-folding design. An accompanying image shows a foldable with a Z-style folding mechanism. In other words, the left third of the display folds inwards and onto the front of the center third. Meanwhile, the right third of the screen folds backwards, behind the center third of the display. Check out the image below for a better idea of how it works.

There are definitely benefits to this approach, as it theoretically means you can have a much larger tablet experience when folded out compared to current foldables. This design likely wouldn’t result in a compromised phone experience either, as we saw with the original Fold’s awkwardly sized phone screen.

Our biggest concern regarding a multi-folding design like this is that durability might be a problem though. Early foldables suffered from hinge-related issues, and so adding a second hinge would definitely make us a little nervous.

We’re also guessing that the introduction of a second folding point would result in another display crease, but this shouldn’t be a major issue if it’s anything like the Galaxy Z Fold 2’s crease.

Samsung Display hasn’t issued a timeline or launch window for commercial availability of foldable phones with a multi-folding design. But presumably Samsung itself would be the first manufacturer to adopt this tech. What do you think of a foldable phone with a design like this? Let us know by taking our poll above!

Huawei Watch Fit hands on: The skinny Apple Watch

The Huawei Watch Fit looks like what you’d get if you threw a Huawei Band 4 Pro and a Huawei Watch GT 2 into an Apple Watch blender. It’s arguably a more fashion-forward wearable than a traditional fitness tracker or standard smartwatch, but it still packs enough smarts to fit in the “Huawei Watch” line rather than the “Huawei Band” family. Let’s take a closer look.

I’m a fan of a chunky watch personally, but the diminutive appeal of the Huawei Watch Fit is not lost on me. Beyond the eye-catching Cantaloupe Orange you see here, the Watch Fit also comes in Sakura Pink, Graphite Black, and Mint Green. The diminutive appeal of the Huawei Watch Fit is not lost on me. I’m less enamored by the unoriginal styling. It may lack creativity but will

5 best dialer apps and contacts apps for Android

Update: This list currently has Drupe as an entrant. It is a really good contacts and dialer app. However, recent security vulnerabilities are causing a big fuss about the app . The security vulnerabilities are gone now. Thus, we’re reinstating the app to our list with a word of caution to our readers. Hit the link to learn more. Dialer apps and contacts apps are a bit of a niche market. In most cases, the stock dialer and contacts app is more than good enough most of the time. However, there are some cases where it may be necessary. The Note 8 occasionally freezing while using the contacts app is a good example. In any case, there are a bunch of decent options, but only a few really good ones. Also, we considered doing separate lists for contacts apps and dialer apps. However, generally speaking, if you get one, you get the other too. Both lists would pretty much have the same apps. Thus, we’ve consolidated it into a single list here. Here are the best dialer apps and contacts a

Here’s a sneak peek at the design of the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Edition

Credit: OnePlus New teasers of the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Edition hint at the phone’s design. They show a large, horizontally placed rectangular camera housing. There’s also plenty of Cyberpunk branding on the back panel of the phone. OnePlus has announced the launch date and time for the Cyberpunk 2077 themed OnePlus 8T . The phone will be revealed in full on November 2 at 2 PM local time in China (2 AM ET). But that’s not all OnePlus has given us. The company has also posted a teaser image of the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Edition on Weibo , giving us a hint of what to expect from its design. The image shows the back of the phone, but it’s too dark to really tell anything. We popped the photo in an image editor, and after tweaking its brightness and contrast a bit, saw what the back panel design could look like.
