Well over the years, we have seen various form-factors of devices being released so as to incorporate various features. Some examples include:
- Dual-Slide design which brings in Media Keys in many NSeries Devices like the N95, N95 8GB, N85, N96 and N86 8MP.
- Slide-Out QWERTY in phones like the E75 and XPERIA.
- Transformers like the N90 and N93 etc.
Well now Samsung has patented a new fold-out keyboard design for phones. The phone in the patent appears to be a touchscreen phone with which the keyboard is most suitable. The keyboard then drops down from both the sides of the phone and reveals the QWERTY keyboard.
The keyboard looks like wings and must looks even better in real life. this design helps to save size as the keyboard comes out only when required and also does not spoil the looks of the device.
We will keep you up to date on further information as it arises.
