Samsung launched its first smartphone with Infinity display with Samsung Galaxy S8 which had all new resolution of QHD+ with an aspect ratio of 18.5:9.Now, Samsung has patented similar looking design with Infinity display on Korean Intellectual Property Office last month.The device design looks similar to Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ and the patent of Samsung Galaxy S8 design was filed earlier than the Samsung announced the Samsung Galaxy S8 in December 2016.
We are still unclear about why Samsung is protecting the same old design which is having Infinity display with thinner bezels and an aspect ratio of 18.5:9 which is already commercialized with Samsung Galaxy S8 and Note 8.The patent also mentions that the device will be made out of metal, synthetic resin, and Glass.There is also mention of personal assistant probably the Bixby AI.
From the patent, at the back, there is single camera module with Dual tone Dual LED flash, heart rate monitor and fingerprint scanner beside the camera module.At the bottom of the device, USB Type-C Port with 3.5 mm audio jack and speaker.The shape of the fingerprint scanner found on the device is more oval than one found on Samsung Galaxy S8.
Earlier leaks claim that Samsung is planning to introduce the Infinity display and similar design in upcoming Samsung Galaxy A series.So we can expect the above device might be the upcoming A series, but we have to wait for official announcement.
