The arrival of foldable smartphones is undoubtedly one of the trends of this beginning of the year.Samsung opened the ball with the presentation of the Galaxy Fold, quickly followed by Huawei and several other manufacturers.

While waiting for the tests of these products, several points of doubt remain as the resistance of these devices in time, the Galaxy Fold for example which integrates two different screens, including a foldable.

Spigen, one of the best known shell manufacturers, has decided to tackle the problem as quickly as possible and reveals the first plans of its accessories.

The brand has unveiled versions adapted to the Galaxy Fold of its models very well known as Ultra Hybrid or Thin Fit.

In broad outline, we find the known elements of Spigen, in particular on the protections around the corners of the device.However, we notice the adjustments made for the Galaxy Fold: the space left on one side for the triple photo sensor, and on the other for the additional smartphone screen, when it is folded.

The most interesting comes from the image of the Thin Fit, in gray, where we see the hinge imagined by Spigen to protect the phone both folded and unfolded.Beyond the creation of a foldable screen, the launch of foldable smartphones takes with it all the industry.

This is an important difference between the Samsung Galaxy Fold and the Huawei Mate X.The latter can only be protected when folded, the protective shell imagined by Huawei must be removed to unfold it.Hopefully manufacturers like Spigen find a more elegant solution.
