Samsung might launch a double-folding phonethis year
三星可能将于今年发布双折叠手机
A smartphone that folds once notenough for you? Rejoice, Samsung might launch a smartphone that folds twice.
只能折叠一次的智能手机不够用？好吧，三星或将发布可折叠两次的智能手机。
This is according to a report byNikkei, which claims that Samsung is working on a "double-foldingphone" that could be unveiled as early as the end of 2021.
根据Nikkei报告，三星正在开发一款双折叠手机，可能最早将于2021年底发布。
The design of this new foldingdevice is still being finalized, Nikkei's sources claim. One of them says thephone's screen, when fully unfolded, would have a "mainstream" aspectratio of 16:9 or 18:9, making it a bit more app and game-friendly. This is incontrast with the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2, whose screen has an aspect ratio of25:9 when unfolded.
依Nikkei消息，这款新的折叠设备的设计尚未定版。据称，这款手机完全展开时，屏幕的纵横比将会是主流的16：9或18：9，以更适用于游戏等程序，也使其与展开后屏幕纵横比为25：9的Galaxy Fold 2形成鲜明对比。
In June of last year, Samsung fileda patent for a clamshell, dual-folding smartphone — imagine a Galaxy Z Flip that folds on both sides — but it's unclear whether Samsung's new phone will have this design.
去年6月份，三星申请了翻盖式双折叠智能手机的专利-想象一下两侧都可折叠的Galaxy Z Flip手机，尚不明确三星是否将在这款新手机上采用这种设计。
The report also claims Samsung plansto launch new versions of its Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip foldable phonesthis year.
报告同时声称三星计划在今年发布新版本的GalaxyZ Fold和Galaxy Z Flip折叠手机。
This onslaught of upcoming Samsungfoldable phones appears to be loosely connected to the fact that the companydoesn't plan to launch a new Galaxy Note phone this year.
三星即将发布可折叠手机似乎与今年停止推出新的GalaxyNote手机有着松散的联系。
According to one of Nikkei'ssources, Samsung was struggling to differentiate between the Galaxy S andGalaxy Note series of devices. For a while, the main difference was the S Pensupport on the Note, but the latest Galaxy S phones support the S Pen, too.Now, however, Samsung is thinking about replacing the Note series with foldablephones, which are easily differentiated from the more mainstream Galaxy Sphones.
根据Nikkei提供的一些消息，三星正在使Galaxy S与Galaxy Note系列设备具有差异化。曾经，两者主要区别在于Note系列支持手写笔，但是最新的Galaxy S手机也支持手写笔。尽管如此，三星正在考虑以可折叠手机取代Note系列手机，以更有效的区分于Galaxy S手机。
Nikkei claims that Samsung has bigambitions for its foldable phone lineup. The company reportedly plans to shipas many foldable phones annually as it typically did Note phones, which is morethan 10 million units per year.
Nikkei表示：三星对其可折叠手机系列抱有很大期望。该公司计划可折叠手机的年出货量像Note系列一样达到1000万台。
