Imagine my surprise when the vice president of Samsung Justin Denison, last Wednesday offered the first glimpse of its upcoming foldable phone, saying it'll be mass produced "in the coming months."
"The Infinity Flex Display represents an entirely new mobile platform," Denison said. "We've been living in a world where the size of your screen can only be as large as the device itself. We've added a new dimension to help you browse, watch and multitask like never before."
The device he showed isn't the final product. It's likely the phone Samsung releases will be sleeker and have smaller bezels than the device Denison demonstrated.
The foldable phone can run up to three apps at the same time, something Samsung calls Multi Active Window. Google's Glen Murphy, head of Android UX, took the stage after Denison and said Android will support the new foldable display technology.
Denison added that Samsung's also working on technology for rollable and stretchable displays.
surprising not?
