New interactive features let users view foldable smartphones in both open and closed states with smooth animations.

Key points

  • GSMArena's 3D viewer now allows users to open and close foldable phone models.
  • The feature supports different form factors, including flip and book-style designs.
  • Upcoming devices like the iPhone Duo and Galaxy Z Fold8 are available for preview.

GSMArena has updated its 3D smartphone viewer to support foldable devices. The new feature allows users to open and close virtual phones.

This change helps visualize how these devices work in two different states. It is a useful addition for comparing upcoming models before release.

Two states for one device

Foldable phones operate in both folded and unfolded modes. Each state offers different benefits depending on the form factor.

Flip models have small outer screens for quick tasks. Book-style models offer large internal displays similar to tablets.

The new viewer shows the transition between these states. This helps users understand the physical size changes involved.

Comparing upcoming flagship models

The iPhone Duo and Galaxy Z Fold8 are expected to compete soon. The updated tool lets viewers compare their folding mechanisms directly.

A simple button triggers the opening and closing animation. This provides a realistic preview of the user experience.

Flip models like the Galaxy Z Flip8 are also included. They remain compact when closed, roughly the size of a credit card.

Accessing the interactive viewer

Binkies 3D partners with GSMArena to provide these models. Users can find them in the site's device database.
