Samsung Display’s new ‘Flex In & Out’ technology allows the phone to rotate a full 360 degrees and fold both inwards and outwards.
Samsung has created a new display prototype that could change the future of its folding phone lineup, including the Galaxy Z Flip and Fold phones.
According to The Verge, the new ‘Flex In & Out’ display technology developed by Samsung Display – Samsung’s subsidiary for screen manufacturing – can rotate a full 360 degrees, allowing for both inward and outward folding.

The company’s displays have been generally well received, but one aspect of the phone that still needs work is the hinge; Ergo, Samsung has introduced a new hinge design for its folding phone display that promises a nearly invisible crease. The Verge notes that the ‘water-drop hinge’ allows for a more flexible display, which mimics the shape of a droplet when folded inward to reduce strain on the screen.
Samsung Display’s ‘Flex In & Out’ prototype technology was first showcased at IMID 2021 in South Korea, but the previous version was bent into an ‘S’ shape with multiple sections.
Could new ‘Flex In & Out’ 360-degree technology be making its way to the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5?
The company’s next mainline foldable device is expected to arrive in August this year. However, at this point, it’s uncertain whether the new technology is mature enough to make it to the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Fold 5, but the company is expected to use a new hinge design that will reduce creases and give an approach Will adopt This is in line with rivals like Oppo’s Find N2.
