Samsung’s Galaxy Smartwatch has competition… from Samsung! - Yanko Design

Now I'grand usually the kind of guy to be excited past new tech, but this conceptual design literally has me scratching my caput. Why, Samsung? Why have another device when y'all've already got so many! There's the Galaxy S series, the Galaxy Notation series, the Milky way Smartwatch series, the newly launched Galaxy Fold, and at present this. What would y'all even call this tech-filled friendship bracelet?! The Galaxy Bend? Sounds too much like the Galaxy Fold. The Galaxy Ring? That sounds like people would confuse it with the smartwatch.

This is a conceptual Samsung smart-wristband. Created by LetsGoDigital using patents that Samsung filed just a week back, this device is clearly Samsung'southward fashion of flooding the marketplace with flexible displays. It'due south essentially a smartphone-esque device that as well doubles upward as a wristband (similar to a concept that Lenovo displayed in 2016). Samsung'southward modus operandi has always been "Build it and they will come", and this gadget is no different, although if Lenovo'south exam-instance was any indication, this concept could be used by people with concrete disabilities who take trouble holding a telephone. The smartphone conveniently wraps around your wrist, assuasive the phone to hold onto you, rather than needing you to concord onto the telephone. The phone/band even comes with dual-lens cameras and an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint reader.

For at present, this concept exists every bit just a patent, and like almost patents, it'south likely that Samsung just wanted to own the IP regarding a folding display mechanism, rather than build a device. A lot of companies patent ideas that expect like they could potentially concord value, and those patented concepts usually never see the light of day. Allow's wait and see what Samsung's plans for the future are!
