Fast Technology reported on September 18 that after Huawei's world premiere of a three-fold screen mobile phone, it has become the biggest bright spot in the technology circle, and even the popularity of the iPhone 16 series has dropped significantly.
Judging from the current industry news, everyone is ready to try, ready to enter the three-fold field, and Samsung even wants to take out the scroll screen to fight against it.
According to the news, Samsung plans to launch the first scroll-screen mobile phone in 2025, with a larger screen size than Huawei's three-fold, up to 12.4 inches, and even use upper and lower screen camera technology to eliminate screen holes.
However, Samsung's scroll screen was not stimulated by Huawei's tri-fold screen to be developed before it was developed, in fact, Samsung applied for a scroll screen patent as early as 2020.
Documents from the time show that Samsung equipped the reel-screen phone case with two gears and a gear guide for the screen to be extended outward or retracted.
The top and bottom of the phone are integrated with a chain-like connection system, and the surface is covered with a flexible metal foil material to prevent dust and dirt from accumulating inside and affecting the expansion and contraction of the phone screen.
The technology allows the phone to change the surface area by sliding in and out, and the screen can change from the size of a phone to the size of a small tablet.
It is worth noting that because there is no hard folding, the screen of the scroll screen is almost completely flat, without the crease on the tri-fold screen, and there are fewer gaps in the fuselage, and the theoretical safety is higher.
