This patented foldable display is eye-catching. Design drawings show that the bracelet looks like a curved block that can be wrapped around the wrist or opened flat to interact with applications like a smartphone.

According to foreign media reports on October 16, people recently discovered one of Samsung’s latest wearable device patents—a foldable smart bracelet—on the Patently Mobile patent website.

Samsung is a very competitive company in the wearable device market. Like other companies, Samsung has so far adhered to a simple design concept, focusing on highlighting the features of the strap and screen, such as the new smart watch Gear Sport released by Samsung. This unique patented product reflects Samsung’s ambitions exuberant.

Based on the patent design drawings, it is difficult to see Samsung’s specific design of the product. The design of the patent image only provides the USPTO with an overview of the product's appearance and functionality, and does not necessarily have much impact on the design concept.

Although Samsung has stated that it will officially launch a foldable smartphone in 2018. But it is worth noting that Samsung, like other large companies, has been applying for patents, and many patented technologies have not ended up with related products on the market. So while Samsung may be designing a foldable smart band, it's still a long way from being released.
