If you're not sure whether your eyes are deceiving you, yes, it's literally a smartphone swinging inside its metal frame. Besides being quite an extraordinary sight, this curious mechanism even has a practical purpose – exposing a wider array of stereo speakers, according to Samsung's patent documentation.
A design so brazen you can hear it
Furthermore, thanks to efforts from LetsGoDigital's talented designer Giuseppe Spinelli, there's no need to imagine how such a curious gadget might look in practice. Once tilted inside its frame, the concept is meant to operate like a pocket resonance chamber of sorts, Samsung explained. Oh, and the screen itself is somewhat flexible, albeit not fully foldable, so as to enhance the resonance effect.
Genius? Ridiculous? Arguably a bit of both, but hardly much more extravagant than the very real, very foldable smartphones Samsung has been putting out for a while now. How do you like this particular idea, though? Think it could work as a mainstream product, or would it be destined to forever be labeled a gimmick?
