From CNET: At CES 2024, I watched a Samsung representative open the shiny Flex In & Out Flip concept device and fold it in both directions. Unlike the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and other flip phones you can buy today, it folds completely backwards so that you use the phone's 6.7-inch screen even when the device is shut.
I wasn't allowed to bend the Flex In & Out Flip concept device myself, but it's a standout concept from Samsung's Display team that could provide a glimpse at where foldables are heading. Samsung Display's entire booth was full of foldable concepts in all shapes and sizes, and it's all part of an ongoing effort to make devices that roll, flex, bend, fold fit more interestingly into our lives.
When the Flex In & Out Flip is bent backwards, one side of the device is shorter than the other, to avoid covering the camera. The larger side was big enough to show several icons in the phone's quick settings menu, media playback controls and the time and battery level. The phone was running a looped demo video rather than actual software, but the simulation still provided a sense of how the user interface would adapt to the phone's movements.
