Foldable devices are believed to be the next big thing in the world of smartphones. Samsung is the leading player to release its third commercially available product this year. But there are other companies that have patented designs for years. ZTE is one of them, and its new triple folding design patent was recently discovered by PriceBaba.

ZTE not yet released a commercial folding smartphone like Samsung and Huawei [1945900]. But he patented the design like any other smartphone company.
A Chinese telecommunications company has patented the design of a foldable smartphone. There are no devices with this design on the market right now. All folding tubes available on the market fold in one direction inwards or outwards.
TCL showed off a prototype with a similar triple design last October. But this phone hasn't gone on sale yet. In addition, since ZTE's patent is an unfinished design without the proper details, we do not expect the company to provide a finished product anytime soon.
Companies have patented many things, but not all are implemented. Xiaomi also showcased their foldable smartphone in the video over, But since then we have not heard anything about this product. Instead, we saw the Mi Mix Alpha concept smartphone, which has not yet gone on limited sale in China, as the company announced at launch.
