South Korean smartphone producer Samsung may unveil a
game-changer gadget one year from now
which can be a 5-inch smartphone when folded and turn into a 7-inch
tablet when opened, a media report said.
A model of foldable display is finished with development
and the company is hoping to mass-produce the gadget starting from second half
of this current year, Korean news site ETNews reported.
Samsung reportedly invested into several technologies
that are needed to build foldable smartphone. The gadget can bend a screen in half by using OLED
Display. One can carry it like a wallet and use it by opening it.
"Development of foldable OLED is taking place
according to our plan. We are planning on mass- manufacturing and release of
this product by discussing with our partners," Lee Chang-hoon, director of
Samsung Display, said in January this year. "Although mass-manufacturing
cannot be concluded hastily since Samsung Electronics still has few other major
tasks to complete, I have heard that Samsung Electronics had made considerable
amount of results in the time being," a representative of an industry was
quoted as saying.
