Smartphones revolutionized the way we interact with technology by doing away with physical keyboards. But now, it seems like we may be getting them back \u2013 in a detachable form! Samsung has filed a patent with the CNIPA (China National Intellectual Property Administration) for a foldable device that includes a detachable keyboard. Here\u2019s what we know:<\/p>\n
\u2013 The patent filing includes design sketches of the device from various angles, showcasing it both with and without the keyboard.
\n\u2013 The sketches reveal a device with a large display and a hinge at the bottom, allowing it to fold inward.
\n\u2013 The detachable keyboard can be attached to the bottom of the device and folded inward along with the lower part of the screen.
\n\u2013 While it\u2019s uncertain how this folding mechanism might impact screen durability, Samsung could potentially use protective film similar to that on the Galaxy Fold 5 to safeguard the screen.
\n\u2013 Combining a foldable display with a detachable keyboard could make the device more compact and portable.<\/p>\n
If this concept materializes in next year\u2019s Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung may be on track to completely revamp its book-style foldable by 2025. The device depicted in the patent images resembles more of a tri-folding phone than previous iterations of the Galaxy Z Fold. However, this could also hint at an entirely new product from Samsung that is even further down the road.<\/p>\n
