Samsung’s upcoming “foldable displays” could work with a hinge system

It looks like Samsung could release a device with a foldable device sooner than later. Samsung is working on a project dubbed Project Valley, and according to trusted SamMobile sources, the smartphone has two display that could be foldable.

To make this work, Samsung has developed a hinge system (pictured below), according to an illustration provided by Patently Mobile. This hinge would allow the user to fold the display, which would make a “valley” during the action of closing or opening it, thus the name Project Valley.

This new device is rumored to have a Snapdragon 820 chipset, 3GB of RAM, and microSD support, SamMobile says. Remember to take all this with a hefty grain of salt, as we haven’t seen anything official from Samsung.

Another thing to keep in mind is that patents are filed all the time, and it’s actually rare to see products come out of those patents. For instance, Samsung has been rumored to launch a flexible display for years now, yet we haven’t seen anything of the sort.

We’re certain Samsung is busy testing all sorts of things in its R&D labs, but at this point, it’s probably just research, nothing else.
