SONY
Company rumored to be working on a foldable phone with a retractable rolling display
Chinese phone maker Royole was the first to unveil a working foldable phone, the Royole Flexpai but industry giants like Samsung, Huawei and Xiaomi have taken the shine off the Flexpai with their own foldable models. Sony may soon join the growing list of OEMs that have a foldable phone.
A few tipster recently made this bit known via a recent tweet. According to the tipster who goes by the name Max J and Twitter handle @Samsung_News_, Sony is also working on its own foldable device. He has also revealed that prototypes being built by the company are equipped with an LG Display, a camera with a 10x Zoom capability. The device will also pack a rather smallish 3220mAh battery. This battery size may have been included in a bid to keep the size small.
In addition, the device is said to pack the Snapdragon 7250 SoC which is a mid-range chipset. Snapdragon 855 Mobile Platform and the Snapdragon X50 5G modem when it is launched. This also presents the possibility that the device will support 5G connectivity.
Furthermore, Sony's foldable phone is said to have a retractable roll-out display just like the Galaxy Fold (You can see Samsung's rollable OLED prototype in the video next to). We'll have to watch out for the measures Sony is putting in place to prevent dust from causing any damage as was the case with the Galaxy Fold. This new product could also be an effort by Sony to break into the global smartphone Market.
