Samsung Files Patent for a Z-Shaped Folding Display
This suggests that Samsung may have filed a patent for a Z-shaped folding display. This would make the smartphone more flexible and easier to use, as it would not fold in half like traditional displays do.
Now looking at the images, one might think that such a smartphone would be very inconvenient to use and carry, which is very true. Such a smartphone won’t be the most comfortable thing to carry around. But the patent is filed by Samsung Display and not Samsung Electronics. So it is more probable than not that we won’t see such a smartphone with a z-shaped folding display. But we might see a display that folds from two places and is very flexible. ..
Since the patent for this Z-shaped folding display was filed in April 2018, we do not see any cameras and ports in the images. But the patent suggests the development of a Z-shaped folding smartphone.

It’s unclear if this patent is actually true, but it does look very similar.
