Without a doubt, Samsung is looking for new flexible display designs that will interest consumers and hopefully provide them with one or more hits over time. Recently Apple doubled down on delivering a new 4" iPhone model called the iPhone SE with modern specifications for a segment of the market that has no interest in phablets. Thus far pre-orders in China are saying that this could be a good seller for Apple. Interestingly Samsung is likewise contemplating a smaller smartphone and one that could be detachable from a watch band. Samsung's second idea is a flexible display based bracelet that appears to be more of a Galaxy smartphone accessory. And lastly, the third design patent covers a smartphone with an expandable display, a common theme of Samsung's of late (one and two).
Unlike "patent applications," design patents published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office don't reveal pertinent information about a particular design. We can look at the design and appreciate it for what it projects, but we'll never discover which materials may be used to construct the design. We'll never know what unique internal components may be hidden within the device or learn about any unique features that we could look forward to. All we get is the simple visual of what could be coming down the pipeline.
