It is possible to take advantage of the brief Sunday morning news lull before the rain starts on Monday. The company is teasing a new generation of products that can be folded inward and outward. The last bit is a reference to its flip phone form factor and a bid to distinguish the tech from a popular hamburger chain. We are in the proof of concept stage, but the company will give more details at tomorrow's presser. These devices are often dead ends, but it was a few years ago that the foldable phone craze kicked off, so strange things have happened. The company said in a release that in&out flip can provide a new alternative for consumers who prefer bar-shaped smartphones due to the thickness of foldable products. The front and back of the product can be used to create a new user experience.
The technology is trying to eliminate the need for a secondary screen on foldable devices. The device was tested in temperatures from -4 degrees to 140 degrees. The team dunked the screens in water, rubbed sand on them and bounced basketballs on their surface, which sounds like a pretty good time. The Rollable Flex has a sliding display, as well as the Flex hybrid, which has a built-in display. No word on when such products might hit the market, but I wouldn't expect to see an appearance at the upcoming event.
