News & Reviews:   prototype

Samsung Electronics has revealed a new tri-fold smartphone prototype, showcasing two separate hinge mechanisms that allow the device to open into a larger, tablet-like display of around 10 inches when fully unfolded. This move signals Samsung’s push beyond the standard foldable formats (single-hinge or flip style) into more ambitious form factors, targeting users seeking both phone and tablet functionality in one device.

As we reported yesterday, realme has finally unveiled its two prototype phones, featuring two never-before-seen innovations. To kick off its 7th anniversary, the company showcased a 15000mAh battery and Chill Fan phones.

Despite being unable to fulfil the demand for PS5, Sony has reportedly started developing a new model for the gaming console. According to the latest information, the new model in question is the PS5 Pro, spotted through a prototype sent from Japan to the US.

When it comes to foldable devices, two main designs are popular. The first is the small tablet that folds inwards or outwards, while the other is the clamshell design. Of course, other designs like the tri-fold are being considered, and Samsung took the opportunity to show them off at CES 2022.

At CES 2022, companies don't just unveil upcoming products. It's also common to see some prototypes or concept technologies at the event. For this year, Alienware has something that's targeted at games streaming. The company calls it Concept Nyx.

When it comes to laptops, most can't be repaired by an individual without specific tools. Even for service centres, some models aren't exactly easy to repair, partly because of the design. But Dell seems to be working on making the process easier.

If you recall, the OPPO retractable mobile camera was leaked last week. The Internet already knows what it looks like, but OPPO's presentation at the INNO Day 2021 revealed more about what it can do. Below are the details about it.

Under-display cameras are still pretty much in development and so far, the ZTE Axon 20 is the only commercial smartphone that has it. Currently, ZTE is working on a 2nd Gen under-display camera and we got a first look at the prototype thank to leakster, Digital Chat. 

It was rumoured that we will see more of the under-display camera technology from smartphones that are going to be released later this year. Today, a leaked prototype of an OPPO smartphone has appeared showing not just the highly-anticipated technology, but also other interesting stuff that we seldom see on current smartphones.

A while back, it was rumoured that Apple has been working on two foldable iPhones prototypes. Supposedly, it would also have an under-display fingerprint sensor and will launch in 2022. However, the latest rumours suggest a different launch window.
