Samsung is a leader in the foldable mobile phone market, and its Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 have been enthusiastically sought after. In the future, Samsung may launch more types of folding screen phones. On November 16, LetsgoDigital reported on Samsung’s patent for another folding screen. The company designed a device that looks very similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, but uses horizontal folding instead of vertical folding.

　　 Although horizontal folding and vertical folding do not seem to be much different, the aspect ratio of the machine shows that it is more like a hybrid of a laptop/tablet, rather than a phone that becomes a tablet. The patent was filed in mid-2019 and was approved and published by the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO) on November 2, 2021. The document contains six product sketches, showing the phone in folded and unfolded positions.
　　Samsung’s patent shows that the machine adopts horizontal folding and dual-hole front camera, which is different from the current Liu Haiping, with three rear cameras. Other designs are not very different from Z Fold3.
　　 Whether Samsung really intends to release such a foldable phone is still unknown. The Korean manufacturer is developing multiple models, and only folding devices that provide the best user experience will be on the market. There are rumors that Samsung is developing the Galaxy Z Fold Lite, which is more affordable. However, whether the Lite model will come out in 2022 is not yet certain, and the details of the design are also unknown.  CELL PHONE BATTERIES – Shop a wide selection of  cell phone Batteries at www.oriccabattery.co.uk Fast Shipping.

　　 Unlike other devices, the AirPods firmware upgrade method is more concealed. Connect the AirPods to the iOS device and put the earphones in the charging case. Just connect the AirPods to the power source and wait for the AirPods to update.

　　 Generally speaking, the new AirPods firmware will improve audio performance and product stability, and the firmware will also be automatically upgraded as we use it. If there are obvious changes in AirPods 3 and AirPods Pro after installing the new firmware, we will also share more detailed information.

Now, mass production of folding screen mobile phones does not seem to be a difficult task anymore. Many broke the news that many mobile phone manufacturers will launch their own folding screen mobile phones next year. A few days ago, some media exposed the rendering of Google’s folding screen phone, saying that the phone may be launched in the near future. However, on November 16, according to the latest news, Google has decided not to introduce folding screen phones to the market for the time being due to insufficient product competitiveness.

　　 The report shows that DSCC has confirmed with its supply chain sources that Google has decided not to release the Pixel Fold to the market, and will not release it this year, nor will it launch it in the first half of 2022. Google believes that the product will not be as competitive as it needs to be. They may think that competing with Samsung in small niche markets in the United States and Europe will cost more than their main competitors. In China, although Samsung is not so powerful, there will be many competing products with similar appearance from OPPO, vivo, Xiaomi, Huawei and Honor.

　　 Google decided to temporarily postpone the launch of foldable screen phones, and it was a wise decision to wait until they are sufficiently competitive before launching them on the market. Previously, Google released the Pixel 6 series of flagship new phones. It has been exposed that fingerprint unlocking is unreliable/slow, and the voice assistant will call friends in the address book in the middle of the night. This has caused a lot of trouble to users. If the product is launched before it is fully developed, it will not only be detrimental to sales, but will also affect the image of the manufacturer in the minds of consumers.  CELL PHONE BATTERIES – Shop a wide selection of  cell phone Batteries at www.oriccabattery.co.uk Fast Shipping.

In the past two years, folding screen mobile phones have been accepted by the market, but the price is still very high. There are still many problems to be solved in the popularization of folding screen mobile phones. Technology is on the one hand, and output is also on the other.

　　According to foreign media slashgear, Samsung plans to produce and sell nearly 10 million folding screen mobile phones next year. Among them, 2.9 million are allocated to Samsung Z Fold4 and 6.9 million are allocated to Samsung Z Flip4. This means that as Samsung’s folding screen production capacity increases, prices will also be suppressed.
　　According to Samsung’s product plan, Samsung Z Fold4 and Samsung Z Flip4 will arrive next year. The product power of these two new folding screen phones will undoubtedly be further improved. In the case of lower product prices and increased product strength, Samsung’s new folding screen mobile phones may be more popular in the market, and the resulting capacity demand will also be stimulated.
　　 Despite this, there are still many problems that Samsung has to face. For example, the yield problem of the flexible screen itself, the continuous component supply problem of semiconductors, and so on. At present, the industry believes that the problem of chip shortage will not be improved until the end of 2022 or even the beginning of 2023.
It is worth noting that although Samsung has set the production and sales task of folding screens at nearly 10 million units, its sales are still difficult to compare with mainstream flagship models. For the S22 series alone, Samsung plans to produce 14.1 million units. .  CELL PHONE BATTERIES – Shop a wide selection of  cell phone Batteries at www.oriccabattery.co.uk Fast Shipping.
