Open patent

At present, the camera forms of smart phones on the market include off-screen cameras, pop-up cameras and detachable cameras. Some are to increase the proportion of screens, and some are to make users have a more convenient and diverse shooting experience. Recently, foreign media broke the news that Samsung submitted a patent application to the World Intellectual Property Office for "a foldable electronic device with a rotating camera on its hinge". Judging from the exposed patent map, it is very similar to the flip folding mobile phone of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip.

The patent diagram shows that the patent design is different from the conventional design that put the camera on the top of the fuselage, but put the camera in the hinge in the middle of the fuselage. In the process of use, users can take photos from different angles such as front, top and back by rotating the camera, and realize the demand from self-timer to timed shooting at one time. At present, smartphones on the market basically have higher rear pixels than front pixels, so that the front can also achieve high pixel shooting.

It is worth mentioning that, because the patent puts the camera in the middle of the fuselage, Samsung can provide a larger secondary screen for this folding mobile phone, which can not only display information such as incoming calls, but also be used for information reply. The only drawback may be that the camera in the middle of the fuselage has a large bulge, which will appear abrupt when it is unfolded. Samsung will hold a new product launch conference on August 1 1, when two new folding screen machines will be launched. You just wait and see.
