The Smartphone industry is reaching a saturation point in terms of design with the smartphones bearing the same bar type design with just a little variations in terms of materials being used and minor changes. According to Korean news site ETNews, Samsung will apparently start mass producing the foldable smartphone for an early 2017 release. According to the latest buzz, the device will feature a 7-inch OLED screen that can start as a tablet, and fold to become a 5-inch smartphone screen. Industries are expecting that Foldable Smartphones will create new momentum in Smartphone markets that are somewhat slowing down.
Samsung reportedly invested into several technologies that are needed to build foldable smartphone. Samsung introduced its first flexible display smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy Round, as a market prototype in October 2013. After the Kyocera Echo and the Sony Tablet P launched ages ago, it appears Samsung could be next in line, hoping to strike it big with a foldable device of their own.
Now, it looks like Chang-hoon is specifically referring to a foldable display here rather than a foldable smartphone, which doesn't confirm that Samsung is working on a foldable smartphone.
It's been a good while since we last saw a foldable Android device hit the market, so maybe we're overdue.
