Touchscreen "Flip Phone"

Submitted 4 years ago

So I just got to thinking and I have an idea for a touchscreen Flip phone. More of a slide, like the old blackberry keyboard phone, but when you slide out the second screen it pops up into place flush with the other screen, and when you want to use single screen mode you push it back down and slide it in. The pop mechanism would be electrical, or magnetic and would be housed in a cubical cloth sleeve. This sleeve would connect to a bearing that would allow screen 2 to slide back inside the main housing, behind screen 1. Buttons on one side (much like huaweis newest phone) or completely skip them for a more sleek look, using the long side of screen 2 as a USB, external memory slot, audio port, and maybe the volume/power. I think this is an easy approach, but it may simply be that technology isn't at this point yet. My email is [email protected], I have concept art (poorly drawn but clear) if you are interested.
