LG also patents a folding mobile

LG patent for folding smartphone

If we add that the sale of tablets They are not the best in the consumer electronics sector and that mobile phones are getting bigger and bigger, we can find out what the trend will be for this year 2018. Exactly, folding mobiles that have dual functionality: smartphone y tablets. And LG is the last that wants to jump on the bandwagon of this fashion.

It remains to be known if this type of equipment is interesting for the user. But it seems that the companies have it clear: it is what they want to make fashionable for this year 2018. Neither Samsung nor LG are the first in this idea: ZTE has already presented its particular vision with the ZTE Axon. However, one of the models that arouses the most interest is the one that Samsung and its model have in mind. Galaxy X. Now, this model may have a rival and comes from the hand of LG. This is demonstrated by a recently discovered patent.

LG patent folding mobile

LG is not doing well in the sale of mobile terminals. Even so, the Korean company does not give up. Y looks like he wants to try with two folding models. The first one is a team with two asymmetric halves. When opened, it will reveal a design more similar to the ZTE Axon M. Outside it will have a screen - we suppose OLED - that would allow us to obtain information such as the date, time and receipt of notifications.

However, a second model found in the patent shows that they would also bet on a somewhat different version. In this case we would obtain a model that would also fold in half, although it would leave a small, tactile side exposed, with which to interact when we have incoming calls, messages, emails, etc. Once it is deployed we would obtain a very suitable equipment for other uses; a model that can replace a tablet to use with which to work more comfortably.

In the documents leaked and obtained by the publication GSM info no references are given to technical specifications or possible extra functions. And as a patent, you will also know that this can end in nothing and that with the passage of time it will be forgotten. What use would you make of a team with these characteristics? Is a mobile with this design attractive to you?
