Samsung Galaxy Fold is not the only foldable phone coming from the Korean giant’s workshop. According to a new report from Bloomberg, the company is working on two more foldable phones, each with its own distinctive design.
One of these phones will have a clamshell design — vertically folding, Razr-style — while the other will fold outwards, just like Huawei’s Mate X.
According to the report, the vertically folding phone should come in late 2019 or early 2020. Samsung plans for it to have an extra screen on the outside (just like Galaxy Fold) but the design may change. The outwards-folding phone will come afterwards, and it should be thinner as it’ll have no extra screen. The devices may have an under-the-display fingerprint scanner. Read more…

BARCELONA — OnePlus CEO Pete Lau, who is very picky about corners, doesn’t like the ones he sees on the folding phones here at MWC19.
“It’s not product excellence, having to stop at that level of large curvature,” he said through a translator. “My focus is on the flexible OLED technology, and as that advances and gets really good, what possibilities there are. When those fields can get really small and tight, what possibilities are there for the screen technology?”
Of course Lau would be talking about the degrees of fold. The cult phone-maker CEO, who has an engineering background, is informally known as the chief product designer at OnePlus, and once showed me how he obsessed over the corner radius when developing the OnePlus 6. Read more…
