This year we have seen a lot of ideas for foldable smartphones, but most move on simple paths. However, it seems that the LG consider creating a more strange folding smartphone.
ΠFoldable smartphones such as Samsung Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X, which fold vertically, and recently became available Motorola RAZR 2019 which has clamshell design.
The innovative foldable
On the other hand, LG currently refuses to use flexible screen and this year presented the LG G8X ThinQ, a smartphone that acquires a second screen using a special case. However, the company seems to be preparing to release a new foldable smartphone.
The patent proves that LG is taking a remarkably different approach to foldable smartphones. This time, the manufacturer is considering creating one smartphone with expandable screen.
When the LG smartphone is turned off it looks like almost any other smart phone. However, it has the ability to extends to both sides resulting in a fairly wide screen. The final aspect ratio fits on a tablet or e-reader.
It is clear from the patent documents that this is an early idea, which may be slow to circulate. There are no clear references to the buttons, cameras, sensors, and other hardware of the LG foldable smartphone anywhere.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the company is already working on a prototype which will be presented at this year's CES.
