Highlights Samsung's foldable screens first to achieve MIL-STD 810G military-grade certification. Testing proves Samsung foldable devices can withstand extreme conditions and rough handling. Samsung patents a hybrid foldable-rollable device, blending compactness with expansive screen space. Hybrid design offers a customizable viewing experience, transitioning from a large to an even larger screen. Samsung is setting the stage to become the standard of durability and versatility in the realm of foldable smartphones. Amidst skepticism, including concerns from industry giant Apple over the resilience of foldable screens, Samsung is making moves to not only address these durability issues but also to innovate further with rollable display technology. This commitment is illustrated through two significant developments: the military-grade certification of their foldable displays and the intriguing patent for a hybrid foldable-rollable device. Military-Grade Durability for Foldable Screens Galaxy foldable phones don't pass Apple's durability tests Samsung Display's 7-inch foldable screen, a key component of devices like the Galaxy Z Fold 5, has achieved a milestone by becoming the first foldable screen to pass the rigorous MIL-STD 810G tests recognized by the U.S. Department of Defense. This certification gives more credibility to the screen for withstanding extreme conditions, including drastic temperature changes and rough handling, simulating the challenging environments of military service. Samsung has been awarded a patent from the U.S. Trademark and Patent Organization (USPTO via CalibreCleaning, Tom'sGuide) titled Display Device The testing involved dropping devices equipped with Samsung's foldable panel 26 times from waist height at various angles, with the screens showing remarkable resilience by enduring forces up to 10.5 times the force of gravity without any damage. That is pretty impressive and Apple could be motivated to put in sizeable order for its foldable displays with Samsung. A Leap into the Future with Rollable Displays Samsung's Galaxy foldable phones are equipped with Samsung-made displays In addition to enhancing the durability of foldable screens, Samsung is exploring the next frontier of smartphone design with a patented hybrid foldable-rollable device. Awarded by the U.S. Trademark and Patent Organization, the patent reveals Samsung's vision for a device that merges the compactness and convenience of foldables with the expansive screen real estate offered by rollable technology. This hybrid device, when closed, resembles the familiar form of the Galaxy Z Fold series but opens to reveal a large tablet-sized display. For users seeking even more screen space, the device will likely incorporate rollable technology, allowing the display to extend further on one side, effectively offering a customisable viewing experience between a large and an even larger screen mode.
