TCL bendable smartphones at MWC 2019.
A couple of days before Samsung unveiled its first smartphone with a bendable Galaxy Fold
screen, we learned that the Chinese company TCL Group, which owns the BlackBerry and Alcatel
smartphones, is working on five options for mobile devices with flexible screens.
Now the user Weibo has published a series of photos showing smart phones with flexible
TCL screens in a glass case behind the glass.
#TCL #foldable #smartphone As you can see, TCL brought several different
models to the exhibition, which differ in form factor, but at the same time have a number
of common features.
First, all the screen folds into the case.
In addition, they are all equipped with multiple cameras.
Finally, they all use a special loop design, which received the marketing name DragonHinge.
As you can see, the design itself is far from ideal, the gaps in the bend are simply huge.
One of TCL's foldable smartphones repeats the concept behind the Samsung Galaxy Fold
idea with the main bendable screen of a large diagonal on the inside and an additional compact
display on the outside.
Depending on the tasks, the device can be transformed from a smartphone into a tablet
and vice versa with one easy movement of the hand.
The main screen of the AMOLED type is characterized by a diagonal of 7.2 inches, a resolution
of 2048x1536 pixels.
It covers more than 100% of the NTSC color space and occupies 90.73% of the front panel
area.
On the outer part in the left corner is the main quad camera with a vertical layout of
the modules.
Alas, the details about the configuration of the camera were not disclosed.
The second device is equipped with a single bendable display, that is, a concept like
a folding Huawei Mate X, the announcement of which is expected in a couple of hours.
On the outside there is a triple chamber.
When folded, it takes the form of a folding bed, but the issues are caused by a large
hole at the bend.
TCL promises an optimized interface that takes into account the design features of the model.
Other characteristics of smartphones have not yet been disclosed, but this is not surprising,
since the output of smartphones is only scheduled for next year.
At the exhibition, they are
