Foldable smartphones are becoming more fashionable among manufacturers. And it is Lenovo's turn to distinguish itself with a patent where it imagines a phone that bends in the vertical direction.

Folding your smartphone is the dream of many smartphone manufacturers lately. Between Samsung and his Galaxy Fold, Huawei and his Mate X or Xiaomi with his future foldable smartphone, the market begins to welcome some big names. These three phones have one thing in common: they fold horizontally - since the fold is vertical.



However, Lenovo thinks of his side to a different type of device: a smartphone foldable vertically - with the fold in the horizontal direction.

It is through a patent filed in September 2018 with the International Intellectual Property Bureau that we discover this idea of Lenovo to change the direction of folding of the smartphone. With a second screen on the back that can fold on the front panel on different levels to display additional information.



LetsGoDigital has therefore based on these patents to create a 3D rendering of the smartphone giving a more precise idea of what this concept of a foldable smartphone in the sense of length would look like.
