Samsung’s latest idea is a Galaxy Z Flip that can fold both ways

TL;DR Samsung has filed a new patent for a foldable phone that can be folded inwards and outwards. When folded inwards, the device could display information using its curved screens. When folded outward, the device could provide users with an immersive screen without visible bezels.

Samsung is no stranger to wild foldable and rollable phone ideas and concepts. The company has previously filed patents for a phone that looks like a brick and unfolds and rolls out into a tablet. It has also experimented with some crazy rollable phone ideas .

Now, the company has filed yet another patent for a foldable phone that folds both ways. The patent filing shows a phone that looks fairly similar to a Galaxy Z Flip (via FixyFlow ). However, the phone in the patent drawings has curves near the hinge, presumably to prevent the display from colliding with itself when folded inwards or outwards.
