The smartphone contains three displays that would be foldable with the help of two hinges, one part of which will fold inwards and the other part will fold outwards making a Z-like shape.

The patent also mentions that the double-fold smartphone will support S Pen and feature an HDMI port. Moreover, the patent revealed that when the device is folded, it resembles the shape of a regular phone. The right-sided display in the unfolded position will form the front display. The back of this display will have an attached slot for accommodating the S Pen.

Based on the previous reports, it is worth mentioning here that Samsung is planning to launch its next-gen Fold4 around Q3 of 2022. The company is hoping to launch the fold 4 with an improved under-display camera (UDC) on both the internal and external screens.

Additionally, the overall primary camera setup is also getting an upgrade. Also, Fold 4 will come with a hinge that might reduce weight. The new hinge will also bring improved water resistance and a dust-resistant certification.
