HTC Desire 820 vs HTC One (M8): first look | PhoneArena reviews

The illustrations associated with the patent reveals a smartphone that folds both ways — inwards and outwards, known in the industry as fold-in or fold-out configurations. In comparison, Samsung‘s flexible smartphone flexes only one way — inwards. As per the reports, this is because of unavailability of a screen that can stretch and survive a fold-out motion. However, Apple seems to be planning to do the same. The patent describes the use of an OLED panel which makes a screen that can withstand multiple bends.

Apple has slowly been switching away from LED since last year’s iPhone X. The company has also invented a coating, which combines a polymer with pigment flakes. The coating once applied to an OLED panel (via spraying, dipping, or even printing), becomes a protective surface that can twist and turn without cracking or wearing easily.

Ever since HMD Global started making handsets under the Nokia name people have been anxiously anticipating the company’s first true contender for the top of the line space. And now we may actually be only one month away from the official unveiling of the Nokia 9. That is, at least, what a rumor claims, reported by Russian publication Nokia A. Apparently the info comes from some unnamed “foreign sources”, and they also say that we should expect “many surprises” from the announcement – as if the unique rear camera setup wasn’t enough. The Nokia 9 is supposedly becoming official during the last week of January. If this pans out, it means HMD Global will be holding a separate event for the reveal, away from both CES and MWC. The phone is expected to rock a 5.9″ 1440×2960 touchscreen, the Snapdragon 845 chipset, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage (expandable via microSD), a whopping five cameras on the back (plus a depth sensor), a 12 MP selfie shooter, and a huge 4,150 mAh battery.

The flagship to end all flagships, then? We’ll have to wait and see.
