When it comes to foldable tech, Vivo may be on the verge of rebuilding the wheel. According to a report by 91mobilesThe company has filed a new patent for a foldable device with a new twist in China – a viosable second screen. Unlike the foldables we use, where a large display bends in the middle, the idea of ​​Vivo focuses on modularity and multi-functionality. The two-screen setup will not only work together as one foldable, but will also act independently. This can mean new ways to use your phone, whether for presentations, gaming, media consumption or even as a remote controller for smart devices.

The patent, filed under the application number 202411862519.0, underlines a design where the main entity and the other screen are magnetically connected. Each part comes with its own hardware module and combines through the contact points dedicated to the edges. This setup allows both screens to communicate and function that functions or in a separate function. While a device acts as the main controller, the other can respond to the screen command, show the view, or even play audio using its built -in hardware.

In the scenarios where the secondary screen is separated, it can still work independently. This will obtain instructions or data from the main device or any other compatible gadget. Depending on this input, it can display various functions such as showing pictures, videos or audio – thanks to its internal screen and speaker components. This can make it useful as a smart display to control a mini media player, presentation screen or even other electronics.

When two units are connected, they can share electricity or allow for direct control between them. Such flexibility can potentially be eliminated one of the major boundaries of foldable phones – when the inactive part of the screen is folded. With the concept of vivo, both screens can be active at the same time, offering more productivity and creativity options.

Cases of potential use include partition functions between two users or functions. One screen can be used for notes while the other plays a video, or during gaming, the main screen can show the game while displayed additional information such as the vioazable part maps or data. If there is a dedicated speaker setup in the secondary screen, it can also support better sound output.

Although it is still just a patent and there is no confirmation of a real product yet, the idea is definitely interesting. If Vivo can close it, we can see a full new range of foldables – which are not only flexible, but also modular.
