South Korean smartphone giant Samsung is taking the foldable smartphone scene pretty seriously. After launching the Samsung Galaxy Fold, the company has now teased a new foldable phone with vertical folding mechanism. At the ongoing Samsung Developer Conference, Samsung teased this new design which will fold vertically and expand into a big-screen phone from a smaller form factor. The Galaxy Fold, which is the only foldable phone available right now for purchase, turns into a tablet when we unfold it. But the tech which Samsung showed will turn a smaller phone into a proper smartphone of the current generation. Samsung did not divulge into the details of this project, but rumours indicate that the company may launch this phone as the Samsung W20 5G next year.

Samsung Reveals Another Foldable Phone Design
After being in the shadows of Oppo, Huawei, Vivo and other Chinese brands, Samsung is making a statement in the industry that it can innovate, and the Samsung Galaxy Fold is an example for that. Not only Samsung managed to bring the world’s first foldable phone to the masses, it even managed to impress the audience with the device, something no one expected. Samsung has now teased another foldable phone design which is entirely different from the Galaxy Fold’s design.
The teaser video posted by Samsung shows a smartphone unfolded vertically, which becomes a full-screen smartphone with a punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera. Having said that, Samsung did not display any prototype of the product and it’s just a small teaser video showing what the company is actually working on. To recall, the Galaxy Fold was first showcased at the CES 2019 tech show and the actual launch happened a few weeks later alongside the Galaxy S10 series.
