Samsung Pro Sound speaker patent revealed

     After launching the Galaxy Note 20 series and Galaxy Z Flip 5G / Galaxy Z Fold 2 foldable phones, Samsung seems to have focused its efforts on the Galaxy S21 series and Galaxy Z Flip 2, which are scheduled to arrive in February 2021. However, Dutch technology blog LetsGoDigital recently discovered that the company seems to be deeply researching a new flexible screen technology that allows the body and the shell to be properly separated to form a resonance cavity to further improve the sound quality of the speaker.

　　It is reported that in February this year, Samsung Electronics submitted a patent application entitled "

　　On October 15, 2020, WIPO officially announced this 35-page patent application document to the outside world, which describes in detail how to create a speaker resonance chamber suitable for mobile devices.

　　As shown in the figure, this smartphone consists of a shell with a moderately separable front and back panel, and Samsung is able to place one or more speakers, a microphone, a front camera, and various sensors under the front panel.

　　It is worth mentioning that these components can move with the front panel integrated with the flexible screen. As the top of the screen is slightly bent and lifted, the back shell remains in place. In this way, additional cavity space can be created for the speaker component.

　　To better demonstrate the concept, LetsGoDigital also invited designer Giuseppe Spinelli (aka Snoreyn) to create a series of 3D renderings based on patent images and document descriptions.

     It is not yet known whether and when Samsung will consider introducing such a novel design on the Galaxy S/Note series smartphones.
