Samsung has introduced a new mobile phone Galaxy Folder, this phone is the most special clamshell design, this familiar and strange flip phone, once the rage nowadays hard to find a trace.Straight full touch-a touch-screen smart phone has become the most mainstream design, regardless of how the various manufacturers of high-end phone configuration, how innovative features are consistent with flat design, it can only be a vertical touch phone look like?
Clamshell designed phone earlier than the candy bar phone become the market mainstream, full touch screen technology in the period not yet available, flip phone good to meet user demand for large-screen phone, the phone must be used under the condition keyboard design of the screen a relatively large product. Since the iPhone listing, full touch screen phones become mainstream touch technology matures also makes the phone keypad lost use value, clamshell design advantages also gone.

Flip phones are gradually neglected Another reason is the decline of the Japanese mobile phone manufacturers, Sharp, Sony, NEC and other Japanese mobile phone manufacturers prospering have launched a classic flip phone, the Japanese electronics industry weakness, flip phone is also a lack of the most The main driving force. In addition to Japanese manufacturers outside, Motorola has also been a loyal supporter of clamshell phones, Andr oid classic clamshell phone Milestone is the main slider design, ME600 this one is called "backflip" amazing original mobile phone also may be the case. Screen instead of the achievements of technical flaws designer phone, Nokia most prosperous period, almost industrial design to an extreme, to bring users a number of different shape features of mobile phones, many of which are no predecessors who works.
2007 iPhone released, Steve Jobs provides users with a full touch screen smart phone with the iPhone swept the global market, almost all phones are designed in the shape closer to the iPhone. Phone hardware manufacturers in the fight fight fight the system software, and mobile phones, but more like, designers can only be from the screen border, curvature, size, material and work hard, no one dared to jump iPhone design firm framework. When many years will recall Samsung has launched a mobile phone, will in my mind there is only one Galaxy S series shadow.
Samsung launched its Galaxy Folder only many products of a very ordinary, not flagship product, the more impossible to make flip phones become mainstream, pop candy bar phone design framework in addition to the manufacturer's design talent and courage, but also need screen technology upgrade, now it is foreseeable that the flexible screen phone, configure bendable screen mobile phone is no longer fits straight shape, flexible screen also failed to achieve mass production, technological upgrading hardware also requires software systems support is no longer a straight touch dominates era perhaps have to wait until a very long time.
