Still a smartphone or already a tablet? Samsung has patented a tricuspid phone
Samsung has been releasing foldable smartphones of the Galaxy Z Fold and Flip series for several years, but soon its line of such devices may expand with a model of a slightly different design. The South Korean manufacturer has patented a phone that will have two folding loops – the relevant documentation was found on the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) website. Rumors about a similar model have already appeared before, but apart from the likely name Samsung Galaxy Z Flex, nothing is known about it.
Of course, the patent application documentation does not contain the characteristics of the future smartphone, but still allows you to get some idea of \u200b\u200bwhat such a device could look like. Judging by the sketches, the model is equipped with a “tri-leaf” OLED touch screen, which is vertically divided by two hinges into three equal parts. In the fully unfolded state, it is almost a tablet with a large display.
The patent also includes a description of the operation of sensors located in the folding mechanism. They help determine what state the phone is currently in. For example, if both hinges are fully open, then the user interface elements will be displayed in all parts of the screen. If the smartphone is folded in such a way that only one of the three parts of the screen is visible, then the operating system will display the interface only there. It is worth noting that the patent application does not focus on the folding mechanism, but rather on the operation of the software. This may indicate that the patent will not be shelved and Samsung is really close to releasing a real product.

The $85 Redmi 10A was a hit in China during the big 618 sale. It outperformed the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max

There is a big 618 summer sale going on in China right now, and there are periodic reports of the hottest items on different platforms. So, if we talk about the largest marketplace JD.com, then in the category of smartphones there is no equal Redmi 10A – this affordable model at $ 85 has surpassed the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max in popularity. Moreover, Redmi 10A on JD.com simply sold out.
Redmi 10A is on the other side of the parameters and consumer qualities from the iPhone 14 Pro. The device is built on SoC MediaTek Helio G25, equipped with a camera with sensors with a resolution of 13 and 5 megapixels, an IPS screen with a diagonal of 6.53 inches and a resolution of 1600 x 820 pixels, a 5000 mAh battery that provides up to 35 days of battery life in standby mode .

They are giving up the iPhone. Motorola reveals 20% of Razr foldable smartphone buyers are ex-iPhone owners

Motorola isn’t even close to being the market leader in foldable smartphones, but its Razr models have proven to be a big draw for iPhone owners.
In an interview with CNet, Allison Yi, head of Motorola’s North American product division, said that of all Motorola’s products, the foldable Razr is the most popular among iPhone owners.
This is definitely the family we have the most iPhone users moving to.
It turns out that 20% of Razr buyers are former owners of Apple smartphones. They are probably attracted by the fresh form factor in which the iPhone is not presented and probably will not be presented for a long time. At the same time, we must remember that we are talking about North America, where, in addition to the Razr, only the Samsung Flip is in this form factor.
Motorola recently unveiled its new foldable smartphones, including the revolutionary cheap (in China) Moto Razr 40, but in the US, only the older Razr Plus (called the Moto Razr 40 Ultra in China) will sell for $1,000.

Still cheaper than any other similar smartphone, but not so revolutionary. Motorola Razr and Razr Plus will be more expensive in the global market than in China

Motorola yesterday introduced foldable smartphones Moto Razr 40 and Moto Razr 40 Ultra, which turned out to be cheaper than all competitors, and the younger model even offers a revolutionary price for this segment at $560. However, these are Chinese prices, and in the global market everything is different, since new items are significantly more expensive there.
To start with, the Moto Razr 40 is called the Razr in the global market, and the Moto Razr 40 Ultra is called the Razr Plus.
In the US, apparently, only the latter will be sold at a price of $1,000. In Europe, they will already ask for 1200 euros for it. The base model Razr will be available in select countries in Europe, Latin America, and Asia, but pricing has not yet been announced. It is expected that it will be around 700-800 euros. It’s still cheaper than other similar smartphones, but not as revolutionary as $560.
