The smartphone concept features a folding design that opens to reveal a bezel-free display on the inside, while the exterior of the clamshell device boasts a sizable display to boot. This will enable users to easily check notifications and more, while the triple-lens system will allow for crisp selfies in the closed position. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 concept is reminiscent of flip phones of the past and can also function in the L-shaped mini laptop mode. This will accommodate the needs of prosumers who are in need of a more streamlined user experience when staying connected out of the house.
