Samsung is not stopping over by foldable smartphones. The company is working on a clamshell foldable device. According to a new report from South Korea, the new foldable device will have a clamshell-like form factor. It would be a vertically foldable device and is said to feature a 6.7-inch OLED display.

Moreover, the report cites its arrival by the next year. It is expected to be the cheaper foldable device with a single vertical bent in the middle.

The new information is in line with the information revealed by some old reports. It verifies 6.7-inch display with a fold around its horizontal axis. The new approach will allow the device to easily fit inside the users’ pocket even when it is unfolded. The new approach will reduce the overall size of the phone in comparison with the Galaxy Fold.

There will be a 1-inch external display to show some useful information with some limitations. Such a small display can notify user, but can’t be used to show detailed information.

However, the details are not verified, and these are mere assumptions based on the reports and rumours leaked in the past. We suggest to take it as a grain of salt in the ocean.
