Samsung to patent 2 gaming phone designs
Samsung looks to move forward into mobile gaming with two new U.S. patents involving gameplay-oriented handsets.
Patent #1 (pictured below) describes a "portable communication terminal for games."
The display on this design involves a hinged "flip" that unveils a dual-row numeric keypad complete with phone navigational array when opened, and a gaming d-pad when closed
The 'A' and 'B' buttons are near the earpiece and always visible.
Patent #2 (pictured below) centers on a "portable communication terminal with foldable keypad" with several references to a hinge (seems to be a slider).
On this design, the display swivels up and out of the way to display the numeric keypad, which is hidden when playing games.
Both of these handset patent applications detail handsets with gaming as the first priority and calling / texting as a second priority.
