We have been waiting for a long time for a manufacturer to finally present a device that has a flexible screen. While it is true that LG and its Flex line meet this requirement, I am talking about a phone that has a screen that can be folded. And it seems that there is less.
Apart from the aforementioned Flex, the only devices that we have seen with a screen of this type were prototypes, models presented at different fairs and that came to give us a glimpse of the future that awaits us, although without offering a model that will be marketed. This is where it comes in Samsung.
Samsung would be the first manufacturer to offer a device with a flexible screen
And is that the Seoul-based manufacturer has just registered a patent for a system of vi parun electronic device with a flexible display. We had already seen that Samsung had made other patents for flexible or folding devices, but this is the first time that the manufacturer focuses on a hinge system for a phone or tablet. And beware, the patent is old, it was made on June 9, 2015.
We do not have much information about the folding devices that Samsung and LG are planning to present, but we can assure you that this year 2017, at last, will be the year in which we see the first smartphones of this type. We have been waiting for years, since 2012 when the first prototypes began to arrive, for a manufacturer of the bell and show for the first time a smartphone or tablet that is truly foldable or flexible.
During this time the process has always been delayed, either because the manufacture of this type of panels is excessively expensive at an industrial level, because they did not have the means to mass-manufacture them or the technology simply did not have the necessary quality. But it seems that this is over.
Various rumors They suggest that LG and Samsung will present a smartphone with a folding screen this year And looking at this latest patent, it seems that the dream is becoming more and more real.
