This Samsung Galaxy Fold Mini concept highlights the colloquially named parchment scroll smartphone format to offer consumers a glimpse into what they could see on the market in the near future.
The smartphone maintains a compact design that focuses on an immersive display on the front as well as a wraparound vertical screen in the rear, divided only by the camera bump. This allows for an immersive user interface experience, while the device can be rotated for horizontal use and expanded to reveal a tablet-like design.
The Samsung Galaxy Fold Mini concept is the design work of Alexander Bazilewskiy and promises to greatly enhance the photography experience thanks to the rear displays. The device also accommodates content streaming with a kickstand on the rear that holds it upright for hands-free viewing.
