This may be one of the two foldable smartphone designs that Samsung was as of late answered to take a shot at.
HIGHLIGHTS
Samsung uncovered the Galaxy Fold, a foldable smartphone early this year
Samsung has been working on two more folding designs for the smartphone
Patent recorded by Samsung reveals out-folding design
Samsung showcased its first foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Fold some time
prior, however, things turned out poorly got ready for the South Korean
smartphone producer.
A couple of survey units showed issues with their foldable display causing Samsung to postpone the dispatch until it could make the necessary improvements.
The Galaxy Fold had an in-folding display design yet it would seem that Samsung considered an out-folding design based on recently published patents. These design patents were connected for in the US toward the end of last year and in Korea in December 2015. The US patent was just published not long ago, however.

It's been accounted for that Samsung is working on two more foldable smartphone modes.
It is said to build up a vertically folding design similar to a flip-phone and the other is a clamshell-like design similar to the one seen on Huawei's Mate X. Samsung was accounted for to uncover the vertical-folding phone late this year or right on time one year from now. The out-folding design exists as a model, however, will be declared at a later point.
The patent saw at the United States Patent and Trademarks Office (USPTO)
of the out-folding gadget shows an adaptable display mounted on two separate
cases joined by a pivot with a sliding mechanism.
Whenever folded, the slide cover slides back towards the case enabling the display to fold. "The slide cover display helps to easily slide back when it folds, and it helps to remain firm in the unfolded state.
A locking mechanism is also visible from the patent drawings which lock the sliding cover set up when the gadget is unfolded.

This patent was first spotted by Patently Mobile. We have just seen a
folding design as the Galaxy Fold from Samsung while two different designs are
still in the works.
With the patent as of now set up, Samsung could uncover a gadget with an out-folding design soon. Of course, patents are documented in their thousands by companies, and a patented idea may never transform into a genuine item - thus what we're seeing here may stay on the planning phase.
