Sony is working on a folding smartphone with temperature, pressure and acceleration sensors

It seems that Sony has decided to follow the fashion trend and also release a folding smartphone. True, before the release

It’s still too early for a finished device: the company has only filed a patent.

What came up

The application to the World Intellectual Property Office was filed on March 4 this year, and the patent was published at the end of June.

The documents describe a “folding devicewith sensors in the display.” Essentially, this is a flexible display with three main sensors right on the screen: temperature, pressure and acceleration. They will help determine in what position the user holds the smartphone to ensure the best responsiveness of the interface.

The manufacturer notes that other sensors can also be added here: for example, a photosensor and a resistance sensor.

The images show the smartphone with two such displays on the front and back. But a screen with built-in sensors can also be used for a regular smartphone.

For now, this is just a patent, and it is unknown whether Sony will bring its ideas to life and whether it will risk competing with Samsung and Huawei.
