Although Samsung is dominant in the field of folding screen mobile phones, other mobile phone manufacturers are also working hard to deal with their own challengers, and it seems that the Google Pixel team is also planning to join this team. WindowsUnited has discovered multiple patents describing the hinges of Google’s folding screen phones. From the information shown in the patent, Google seems to have considered two options, namely folding outward and folding inward.
The more traditional inward folding design has a “deep pocket” inside the hinge, which can accommodate a larger folding radius, so that the flexible screen will not spread out when the device is fully opened, and will still remain even if it is opened Obviously raised hinge part. Another design is to fold outwards. In this design, Google uses a traditional multi-segment hinge design. Both designs were patented in July 2020 and released a few days ago, clearly indicating that Google is trying to launch its own folding screen device.
It is worth mentioning that before the release of Google Pixel 4a, an internal document from Android revealed the hardware products that Google will release this year, including Pixel 5a (code-named Barbette), and the other three devices under development, code-named They are “Raven”, “Oriole” and “Passport”. It is reported that the first two code names may refer to the Pixel 6 series. The third code shows “foldable”. All three products are marked to be released in the fourth quarter of 2021.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mobile phone batte
