It will feature two displays, one of which is rumoured to be larger with a 7.3-inch screen, 1536x2152p resolution and 420 dpi. The other one might be 4.58-inch in size with 840x1960p resolution and the same screen density. The larger display is slated to feature a 4.2:3 display aspect ratio while the smaller one might have a 21:9 display aspect ratio. Samsung recently outed a video under its new campaign to “kick off a year that will both celebrate the 10th anniversary of Galaxy smartphones and set the foundation for the next decade of new, innovative and groundbreaking products.” in this video, the company showcased a slew of futuristic tech but the one that caught our eye was a short glimpse of the foldable phone. A previous report on the device showcased some high-quality 3D renders of Samsung’s foldable phone. According to the renders, the front-facing camera is missing from the device and this might just turn out to be true since when the phone is folded outwards, the rear cameras might face the user, thus eliminating the need for a front-facing camera. Additionally, the renders showcase an edge-to-edge display on the phone, in both folded and unfolded modes. When folded, the display shows four horizontally aligned icons, while in the unfolded state, the number of icons doubles up to eight that are placed from left-to-right. As mentioned earlier, the smartphone maker previously showcased the phone at its annual developer conference but at that time, the device was revealed in dim lighting and was covered in a case to hide its design.
