How do Samsung Flip and Fold phones work?
April 13, 2021
Not that long ago, the prospect of a smartphone with a foldable screen seemed like a futuristic dream.
Until now, that is.
Samsung’s made our foldable screen dreams a reality with the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G and Galaxy Z Flip 5G, and now more recently the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3.
How do they work?
It’s all down to some ultra thin glass and a cleverly engineered hinge.
Now, folding glass seems impossible, right? But the truth of the matter is that even some rigid materials can bend and flex if they’re thin enough. Samsung’s taken that thought and produced a sheet of glass that’s thinner than a single human hair, making it flexible. Samsung Ultra Thin glass is tough too – it can handle daily folding and unfolding with ease.
The last thing you want on your revolutionary folding phone is a bulky hinge. It wouldn’t look great and we doubt it would feel good in your hand or pocket either. Luckily, Samsung’s come up with a solution – the Hideaway Hinge.
Inspired by lotus blossoms, the Hideaway Hinge makes folding and unfolding your phone smooth and really satisfying. It uses a dual CAM mechanism to lock your screen in place. Making sure it stays stable whether it’s folded shut, fully open, or open at an angle. What’s more, the hinge is hidden so doesn’t add any bulk to your device.
Worried about dust and fluff clogging up the hinge? Understandable, but that’s been taken care of too. Using new sweeper technology, tiny brushes sweep away dust every time you fold or unfold your phone, keeping it clean.
