Like that ZTE phone nobody bought?

Some Chinese company has one in the works, I think it was BOE. There's a video with it on YouTube, from the looks of it they're not far off.

Easily pocketable 7+ inch screen

Ground-breaking

Actually since it's a flexible material, it would be much harder to crack the screen in that thing than any phone with a glass screen, if not outright impossible even.
Guaranteed it's prone to scratching easily though since it's bound to be a soft type of plastic/film material, but that's what screen protectors are for.

Oh, the copmany that was effectively destroyed by the US government for no good reason other than selling phones to people they don't like?

I'm currently developing a new product that incorporates all the features of BOTH a smart phone AND a cell phone.
I'm going to call it a smell phone.
Like, smart + cell.
Get it?

It's probably the software that is not there yet. Making separate screens work both together and separately and synchronise stuff between them might be the stumbling block.

And the biggest issue is how are your mobile apps going to adapt to such a screen. Will they need a special API, will they work with normal mobile apps, etc?

fpbp

I doubt it. The fucking Wii U does this and the second screen is even wireless. The 3DS and DS did it ages ago. It's trivial technology.

The stumble is android apps in general are not designed with this form factor, they will look like shit. You can make custom apps for it, but who else is going to do that?

That poor engineer girl. She obviously had a light grasp on English and the dude was pushy as shit. She had no idea what be was saying a lot of the time, yet he couldn't see this and not be cringey

Yeah, but, it was Microsoft who first tried to launch such a device and failed (revived Courier project -> Andromeda). And maybe they realised it will look like shit with their store apps.

Samsung also has been playing around with foldable screens for some time and recently they got more serious about it. I'm sure they will make their own custom UI for it, on top of Android. Not sure about the apps tho.

Just what I wanted! A fucking tablet for a phone that is likely fragile as fuck and easy to break.

>if not outright impossible even.

Don't delude yourself kid. Anyone can crack that screen if they want to.

>giant fucking crease down the middle that sticks up like a fucking hillside

lmao

Go ahead and try cracking a sheet of film and see how it goes. You'll quickly learn that it doesn't behave like glass at all.
And no, simply cutting or puncturing it with a knife isn't the same as cracking it.

The less rigid a material is, the harder it is to crack it. But it's trading off scratch resistance in favour of impact resistance.

we MIGHT get roll-up phones that roll up to the size of a battery or ball pen and include some kind of stabilizing rails, but any folding phone is either going to waste space by not folding flat, or it's going to fold flat and develop a crease. There is no material that doesn't wear out from bending, and there won't be.

Fucking gimic

Nothing wrong with that as that's a prototype

I don't think that's a fixable problem unless they can make it stretch. In order for it to wrap around when it is folded, it will have excess material when unfolded.

Hinge that expands as it unfolds.
They'd have to use a material for the screen that doesn't have a 'memory'. Very doable

A tablet makes a lot more sense than a phone

that sounds like it won't break in 2 months

oh wait

so, pajeets fault?

If you want larger screen sizes on a phone, it's probably the only feasible way. The hinge won't have to expand far, like 2 - 3 millimetres just to get rid of the bump. possibly even make it out of stainless steel. doesn't have to be made out of plastic.

Added cost, but this would be on a premium phone.

that would be even cringer than current phablets

I said 5 years back in 2013/14 when Samsung had this video of folding phones, so probably another 5

>not having clear screen instead
Lmaoing at ur fag phone
