Samsung phones shrink extend

Galaxy S phones are excellent and Samsung is also bringing amazing Galaxy Z foldable phones to the market. Beyond that, Samsung is finding ways to make the smartphone experience epic, with a recent patent application indicating how you use future Galaxy slidable/rollable phones that shrink and extend.

Samsung has been working on slidable display prototypes for years and showcased at many times such as MWC. Future Galaxy slidable phones may be equipped with a rollable display, which would allow the device to shrink and extend as per the user’s requirement.

Future Samsung phones may shrink and extend based on where you are.

With a slidable display, you can turn your smartphone from a regular phone to a large-screen tablet, even without folding the screen. Earlier this year, the Korean tech giant presented the Slideable Flex Duet concept, which features a display that extends both sides.

Back in 2020, Samsung registered a design patent as well as the working functionality of smartphones. At first impression, you might determine it odd, but it would become reality a day, for sure. Through patent, the company described four different modes, which a slidable phone could follow.

As mentioned in the patent application, the four modes are:

  1. Band Mode
  2. Phone Mode
  3. Phablet Mode
  4. Tablet Mode

Band Mode: This shrinks the smartphone’s dimensions, making its form factor narrower in order to deliver excellent grip while walking on the street.

Phone Mode: It turns the slidable device into a regular smartphone shape for regular use, or you can use it indoors/outdoors with your primary hand, even when you are walking.

Phablet Mode: This mode makes the regular phone a Phablet, which you can use while standing on the street with both hands. It will provide a better typing experience as well as a relaxed feel to the user.

Tablet mode: As the name suggests, slidable phone can turn into a tablet by extending the rollable display from both sides. When a user is sitting inside home, this mode will enhance app navigation and typing experience.

Samsung Rollable Slidable Patent

Apart from the current one, Samsung registered various design patents and branding trademarks. It’s up to the company whether it produces such a product or not, which it secured via patent registration. Meanwhile, you can see the full patent application and supporting documents on the WIPO site.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 US model packs Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5

The US variant of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 will be equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. There were reports that Samsung may expand the Exynos chipset to its foldable lineup, which doesn’t seem to be happening, at least in the United States.

Recently, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 US variant was spotted on Geekbench with Snapdragon chip. It isn’t surprising as the company is following its conventional chipset strategy. We expect that it will be the same chipset used in the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy.

The Flip 6 smartphone scored 15084 points on Geekbench’s GPU test. Due to its foldable form factor, the device may miss a Galaxy S24-like larger cooling technology. Still, its impressive 15000+ points in the GPU test indicates that Samsung has greatly optimized the software.

The company still has three months remaining in the launch event. More performance improvements will likely be achieved before the Unpacked. The South Korean tech giant will likely unveil the next-gen foldable phones in mid-July.

This year, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra would join the standard Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6. In addition, an affordable variant of Fan Edition branding is also in development. However, the cheaper foldable would miss some pro-grade specs to maintain the price.

Samsung’s new 5G modem fuels satellite connectivity in Google Pixel 9 series

Pixel 9 samsung modem

Google‘s Pixel 9 series is ready to introduce a significant upgrade with emergency satellite connectivity and new Samsung modem. This series aims to solve the persistent connectivity problems seen in previous Pixel models.

According to the information via AndroidAuthority, Samsung Modem 5400 will be integrated with Tensor G4 chips for the Pixel 9 series to bring significant improvements in terms of speed, power efficiency, and stability

The Pixel 9’s modem will support 5G non-terrestrial networks (NTN), which means it will enable satellite-based communication. This is particularly important for emergencies where standard network coverage is unavailable.

Moreover, this innovative feature is not exclusive to the Pixel 9. The next-generation Pixel Fold and a 5G tablet, currently under development, will also be equipped with the same modem.

One of the most notable features of this upgrade is the ability to connect with emergency services via satellite, which is crucial for users in areas without cellular coverage. To facilitate this, Google has implemented a system that guides users through a set of questions, allowing for quick communication with emergency responders. For example,

  • What happened?
  • [Are you/Are they/Is everyone] breathing?
  • In total, how many people are [missing/trapped]?
  • What best describes your situation?
  • What is on fire?
  • Are there weapons involved?

Although the release details for the 5G tablet are still unclear, the Pixel 9 series is expected to lead the way in mobile communication technology, ensuring users can remain connected in any location.
