A screen that folds both ways?

The world of foldable phones is surprisingly stagnant. The Galaxy Z Fold gets a small update every year, with rival phone brands loosely copying Samsung’s task. But a new Samsung Display prototype called “Flex In & Out” could change this narrative.

Flip phones typically have a 180-degree hinge, which means they can only open into a form factor similar to a flat tablet. But the “Flex In & Out” prototype has a 360-degree hinge: you can fold it all the way back, the same way you can fold Microsoft’s dual-screen Surface Duo.

This prototype actually debuted during CES 2023. But it didn’t get enough coverage, so Samsung Display reached out to the edge to share information and images. How do you explain it? the edgethis “Flex In & Out” prototype uses a “waterdrop hinge”, which puts much less stress on the folding screen than Samsung’s typical “U-shaped hinge”.

As a result, the “Flex In & Out” doesn’t have a prominent crease on its screen (I suspect a crease will become more apparent with continued use). Also, the “Flex In & Out” has a fairly small air gap when closed, which should provide an increase in durability.

Note that this is not the first “Flex In & Out” concept device. Samsung Display showed off a prototype phone of the same name in 2021. That said, the old “Flex In & Out” was a stylish fold-out brochure and it looks completely different than the new prototype.

We expect Samsung to integrate this technology into the Galaxy Z Fold 5, which should launch in September or August 2023. If you’re planning to buy a foldable this year, we suggest you wait until the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is revealed, as the “Flex In & Out” looks like a huge improvement over previous foldables.
