Despite the fact flexible displays have now been incorporated into two curved smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy Round and the LG G Flex, it’s suffice to say that they haven’t quite captured our imagination of what we’d all envisioned when we first heard about flexible displays. While they do offer intriguing innovations, like the kind-of flexible G Flex and its self-healing materials, I’m sure many of us actually imagined that the phones would be foldable, much like the concepts that Samsung showed off yesterday.
To further fan the fire of excitement and anticipation, Samsung has gone on record at their Analyst Day to promise that foldable screens, and presumably the foldable devices they would be used in, will be available sometime in 2015. It’s potential in the mobile sector is almost limitless, potentially being applied to smartphones, tablets and even smart watches, which hopefully will culminate in some of the amazing concepts we have seen showing what would be possible with more flexible displays.
It’s amazing to think that we only have a few weeks left in 2013 now and foldable screens and all they lead to is less than 2 years away. Who’s excited about foldable screens and devices? Share your excitement with us in the comments.
