Samsung Galaxy Skin phone has bendable screen
Just had a read of this article.
If they do bring out a phone like this, and no reason why they wouldnt. Then the design of phones to come can be endless. Watch the youtube video in the article, it certainly is worth it. |

The idea of it potentially being able to mould itself around your wrist is probably the best [and only good] thing I can see from this gimmick right now [purely for the should-be improved security].
Other than that... Meh. I hope [for their sake] that it's easy to 'flex' back to a familiar, rectangular form! |

Other companies have demonstrated foldable screens for several years. But nothing has come to market.
I suspect what will really happen is that the technology will allow manufacturers to put a larger battery into a phone which is no thicker than current handsets. With the bonus that the phone will withstand more twisting. (and stop the 'My phones screen cracked and I didn't do anything' threads ) |

I would have thought the biggest advantage would have been slimmer phones. If you looked at the youtube video clip, some of those screen looked paper thin.
Though maybe going from a Samsung Tocco Lite to a Samsung Galaxy will 'enlighten' me. Maybe. -shrugs- |
