Google Gets Patent for Folding Clamshell Cameraphone
I can’t exactly recall any big company launching a big cameraphone over the past year and half, maybe except for the ASUS ZenFone Zoom. Now there’s hope, if not for a new Samsung K Zoom, then for a clamshell with a big camera like the one below.
These pictures are straight out of a Google patent, for a folding handheld camera design. The patent was filed in June 2014 and approved a few days ago. It was issued by the US Patent and Trademark Office and details a folding cameraphone that has a hinge in the middle, typical for a clamshell unit. The camera module is quite big, that’s why we call this a camera-phone.
The massive camera may hint at optical zoom, OIS and large resolution. A Xenon flash is not out of the picture here, especially since we see a big flash-lookalike portion at the top. I have a feeling Samsung will be the one to make this phone…

ZTE Nubia Z11 Gets Leaked With Dual Camera and No Bezels
ZTE must totally step up their game, if they really want to compete with the success stories that are Xiaomi and Huawei. Even OnePlus has been getting more press than them lately, so it’s time to let their brand Nubia deliver. It may just do that, according to the leak below.
This model is called the ZTE Nubia Z11 and it recently got leaked, with a dual camera in tow and no bezels. This model is going to use a special type of screen, called FIT, that gives the impression of lack of bezels. The handset also comes with a strong metal frame, that keeps together two panels of glass, one at the front and one at the back.
There’s a fingerprint scanner at the back, as well as a dual camera, one used for depth perception. This is going to be one of the many Snapdragon 820 handsets that will rule the market this year, so expectations are great. Android 6.0 is going to be the OS. What do you make of the leak?
