China's Oppo Reveals a new "Slide Phone" concept form factor and an LG Patent reveals they're working on a Foldable Phone
On Monday Patently Apple reported on new devices coming to market in 2021 from Apple's competitors OPPO and LG in the form of smartphones with scrollable/expandable displays. A second report covered Samsung committing to the delivery of more foldable smartphones models in 2021, possibly one of them using a new hinge construction.
Today Samsung's mobile chief Dr. TM Roh sent out a press release that got Android blogs buzzing, even though they read too much into what he actually said. Some believe that Samsung's next premium smartphone will launch in January instead of February. Roh did hint that their version of Apple's coming AirTags was in the works for 2021 along with other projects.
