Samsung showed the first foldable
screens at CES 2013. There is a video ad since then showing 2 foldable
smartphones concepts: phone to tablet and a phone with rollable screen that was
also presented early this year.
Samsung’s
first foldable phone is “right around the corner” according to Gregory Lee,
President and CEO of Samsung Telecommunications America.
Samsung is
not the only company that will make foldable smartphones. Recently Lenovo
presented a slim smartphone that bends around your wrist like a smartphone, and
a tablet that folds in half to convert it on a phone.
LG and
Chinese startup Moxi Group are testing their concepts as well.
Speaking at
the Future:Mobile conference, and reported by
Recode, Lee said
that the new bendable phones are incoming.
Explaining
the delay behind getting them to market he continued, “it just has been very
difficult to manufacture at a reasonable cost”.
Rumors are
saying Samsung will unveil more foldable smartphones concepts this August when
the company will launch the Galaxy Note 7 and the Galaxy Note 7 edge.
We expect
slim designs and light to carry models for the upcoming foldable smartphones in 2017.
