Samsung's Wraparound Phone Design Is the Anti Galaxy Fold

Image collected
A new Samsung patent published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office is the latest foldable phone design from the Korean company — except this phone doesn’t fold at all. Unlike the troubled Galaxy Fold, the screen just wraps around a candy bar design. 

This wraparound design will be completely notchless, like the Nubia X or the Vivo Nex 2. Instead of having selfie cameras on the front, this design will make people use the back part of the phone to take selfies with the main cameras, resulting in much better quality pictures.
 
Filed on October 2016 and accepted last week, the patent describes a phone with a flexible display that is permanently folded in the same position. On the front part, the phone covers almost the entire surface. Then it curves over the top edge of the chassis and continues on the back part about three fourths of the way.
 
The patent images show two design options for the back: one with the camera sensors on the bottom part of the phone and another design with the cameras on the top, in a punch hole configuration.
