Motorola foldable phone/tablet hybrid is in the works, patent suggests

2018-05-18

A new patent from Motorola has shown off an intriguing design for a new phone that could see its screen unfold when you want to use it as a tablet, without sacrificing the portability of the phone.

 

First discovered by LetsGoDigital, the patent shows off a design that’s not dissimilar to the ZTE Axon M. In phone mode the handset has a screen on both its front and rear, and you can open it like a book to put it into tablet mode. Granted, it’s like you’re reading the cover and back-cover of the book, but the analogy still works.

 

Aside from that the patent is pretty light on details, aside from showing off the location of a pair of cameras that appear to be designed to work best in phone mode.
