Samsung has a unique Galaxy Z Flip folding prototype on show at CES 2024 , featuring a 360 - level hinge .
The South Korean technical school giant held its big CESpress eventrecently , but as ever , some of the most interesting stuff is to be found on the showroom floor and away from the official crush waiver .
Take this fascinating paradigm for case , which we come to viaAndroid Central , and which Samsung is calling the ‘ In&Out Flip ’ . It looks an awful flock like a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 , albeit with much chunkier bezel . The big difference is that there ’s only one video display , and that said display can be fold in half altogether in either direction .
There ’s no indigence for a separate screening video display when the main internal show can become external with a speedy rotation .
We should stress that this Samsung In&Out Flip is very much a prototype , and that there ’s no warrantee it ’ll ever make its way to yield . When and if it does , we suspect that it ’ll calculate much more neat than this chunky model .
The potential is clear , however . Such a streamlined foldable phone could potentially be much thin than the current Flip range , thus accost one of the big complaints about current foldables .
You would have to suspect that there ’d be more space for a decent camera as a effect . scrub another persistent folding problem off the lean .
Now all we want is for Samsung to address those dust ingress issues , the seeable crease , and the sky - in high spirits pricing , and we ’re laughing .
Elsewhere , Samsung has the Rollable Flex on presentation , which looks like a folding tablet that also rolls out to five time its original aerofoil area . We’veseen and heard of such rollableprototypes before over the age , but it ’s interesting to see that Samsung has stuck by the theme .
