Huawei improves the screen and processor on the foldable Mate XS

Huawei has improved its foldable device in ways where it counts: its display and processor. And so the Mate X successor, the aptly named Mate XS, features a more durable display and a faster processor. 

Huawei is using a "quad-layer" construction for its plastic display, which the company claims should make it more robust. Up top, there are two layers of polyamide film stuck together with a clear adhesive. Below that is the flexible OLED display, and then a softer polymer layer is underneath that serving as a cushion and the last layer connecting the screen to the Mate XS's main body.

Samsung's next foldable phone might come with a glass display

Samsung has teased the possibility of introducing a foldable flip phone. And if the latest leak is credible, then it might be the first foldable display to be made out of glass. Phone leaker Ice Universe (a.k.a. @UniverseIce on Twitter) claims that Samsung developed an ultra-thin glass cover for its next folding device—one that sports a flatter screen with fewer wrinkles. It's not as far-fetched as you think since the company has already applied for numerous trademarks around what it has called "Samsung Ultra Thin Glass." But as Engadget points out, we need to approach this leak with caution still. Because even with the photo provided, there's a possibility that it isn't even a Samsung device.

Samsung wants to make a foldable flip phone

Samsung's next foldable device will have those nostalgic over clamshell phones excited. Well, for now, it's just a concept, but it shows that Samsung isn't done with foldable mobile devices yet. The idea behind this new concept is that they want to make smartphones more portable. The company isn't saying whether this will enter into production, but it showcased the idea at its recent developers conference. Rumour has it they are already developing it. The device will reportedly have a 6.7-inch display when you unfold it, and it'll reportedly be thinner than the Galaxy Fold.

If you thought you saw this idea before, well, Samsung isn't the only smartphone maker toying around with the idea of a foldable flip-style phone. Motorola, the makers of the famous clamshell Razr line, will unveil its take on the form factor on November 13.
