Samsung teases with foldable technology
Samsung just had their 2018 Developer Conference, where it showed off a fancy new foldable display, called Infinity Flex.
Basically, it’s a 7.3-inch flexible display that can be folded in half. It’s a smartphone, then whammo, look at that, it’s a tablet.
The Infinity Flex display, according to Samsung, is the “future of mobile display technology” and the foundation for the “smartphone of tomorrow.”
From the Sauce:
“Today is a big milestone and I’m sure you’re all wondering what it looks like in real life and how it works. Wonder no more. When it’s open, it’s a tablet, offering a big screen experience. It’s gorgeous. When it’s closed, it’s a phone that fits neatly inside your pocket.”
Samsung developed an advanced composite polymer that’s “flexible and tough” to replace the glass that’s usually used as a display cover in smartphones, as well as a flexible, malleable adhesive that’s durable enough to withstand hundreds of thousands of folds, and a new ultra thin polarizer that’s 45 percent thinner than the technology used in its current displays.
The display shown during the conference is part of a future device, with mass manufacturing on said device to begin in the coming months. A new software platform is being developed in partnership with Google that supports two UIs, one when the device is open and one when it’s closed.
Pretty foldin’ cool!
