We may see Samsung release two bendable smartphones as early as 2017, reports Bloomberg<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

One of these models will be able to fold directly in half, like a cosmetic compact. The second device is said to have a 5-inch OLED display that unfurls into an 8-inch design – similar to that of a tablet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis product could be a game-changer if Samsung successfully comes up with a user interface suitable for bendable screens,\u201d said Lee Seung Woo, an analyst at IBK Securities Co. in Seoul.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cNext year is a probable scenario. Their biggest obstacle was related to making transparent plastics and making them durable, which seems resolved by now.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is well-known that Samsung (the biggest supplier of mobile-OLEDs in the world) has been experimenting <\/a><\/strong>with these flexible designs for years.<\/p>\n

The designs are expected to make their debut at the Mobile World Conference in Barcelona next year.<\/p>\n
