After launching the Galaxy S20 series together with the Galaxy Z Flip, the new folding phone that impressed the users; The South Korean smartphone manufacturer is already working on its future devices. Now, thanks to the newly registered patent, it has been discovered that the Galaxy Note family devices could change forever. We heard the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 could launch alongside the Galaxy Fold 2, a foldable phone with a large display, but it seems like the Galaxy Note 20 could actually be that folding device. Samsung could introduce a foldable version of the Galaxy Note 20. Samsung has recently won a major patent for a future, foldable version of its flagship Galaxy Note smartphone, as revealed from PatentlyMobile.
It seems that this patent could be for a future Galaxy Note phone, thanks to the presence of the S Pen. There are some intriguing elements regarding the stylus we haven't seen in a Note phone before, though, including a docking system that hides the stylus when you insert it into the phone, for a more seamless appearance. The patent shows an 'elastic unit,' which uses tensile force when the phone is completely open, to remove any fold marks or creases. There's also a 'restricting arm' which can lock the movable elements in place when you want the phone flat.
