After that, Lenovo has not updated any details regarding the development and supposed release date of the prototyped devices. Still, Samsung is reportedly going after the flexible smartphones without even showcasing any prototypes. according to the reports, the forthcoming Samsung’s Foldable smartphone will feature a 7.3-inch OLED flexible display which can be folded easily.The folding method of the device would be based on the display extension only, and the hinges will be provided on foldable areas. When not in use, the rest of the art can be folded and stick to the device without any ugly traces behind, reduced to a smartphone below 6-inch.
The alleged display panel is supposed to be showcased in front of closed clients privately at Las Vegas CES 2018. Considering Samsung’s history, the foldable innovation too is expected to see the light for the first time by the company. Samsung is the first brand to launch the bend smartphone (Samsung Galaxy Round) and Edge bend devices in Galaxy S-series and Note-series. As the company is rumored to start the mass-production f new foldable device, we could expect the launch by December or January 2019.
