Samsung patent shows smartphone with detachable display that can be worn like smartwatch

• Samsung has filed a patent for a smartphone with a detachable display that can wrap around the wrist
• The patent was filed back in 2018 and published earlier this week
• The detachable display could work as a secondary screen that shows time, notifications, and more

Samsung could be working on a unique smartphone that will have a detachable display, according to the patent it has filed with the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO). First discovered by 91mobiles, the patent was filed back in 2018 and was only published earlier this week. The images accompanying the patent application show the top portion of the phone can be detached and wrapped around curved surfaces such as your hand, quite like a fitness band. However, it wraps onto only the top portion of the hand, thus not fully secured to the wrist. The detachable portion has two buttons on the left pane, probably for selection or navigation. It's possible the detached portion connects to the phone via Bluetooth.
