All their phones, currently using Note edge and S6, hangs badly. Restarts automatically, has loads of lag while performing multi tasking. Wats d use tagging them Flagships. Asa you integrate your emails, fone slows down and works at its own will. Sorry Sammy, this is the truth I am facing from Galaxy s2 days till date.

      Adomas, 28 May 2015And thats exactly why that article is misleading.Not sure what you mean by that. A foldable display is what is missing to have a foldable phone with a display spanning both halves. And Samsung seems to getting close to creating one. Isn't that what the article is about? What is misleading about that?

        Jarret, 29 May 2015Once again, Samsung lead the innovations. Apple lostIf you call the garbage named Touchwiz and the fact that their phones suffer lag in less than six months as innovations then by all means they are innovative. Lol

                          So, just like nokia Samsung was also busy at same year with flexible displays also sony, lg, hp etc.
                          Nokia made a prototype, so samsung but only samsung make it true. (Note 4 Edge, Galaxy Curve, S6 Edge ) but where is the nokia's phone?
                          Have you seen anything?

                          Look at below texts, your brain will blow out.

                          HP and ASU

                          In 2005, Arizona State University opened a 250,000 square foot facility dedicated to flexible display research named the ASU Flexible Display Center (FDC). ASU received $43.7 million from the Army Research Lab towards the development of this research facility.[4] A planned prototype device was slated for public demonstration later that year

                          Demonstration of a 4.1" prototype flexible display from Sony

                          Sony Electronics expressed interest for research and development towards a flexible display video display since 2005.[27] In partnership with RIKEN (the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research), Sony promised to commercialize this technology in TVs and cellphones sometime around 2010.[27] In May 2010 Sony showcased a rollable TFT-driven OLED display.

                          Samsung

                          In late 2010, Samsung Electronics announced the development of a prototype 4.5 inch flexible AMOLED display.[29] The prototype device was then showcased at Consumer Electronics Show 2011.[30] During the 2011 Q

                              LG is ahead with oled technology..LG oled TV are the best...they dont put it on smartphones since it would raise the cost peice of thier smartphones..raising the price for a little of noticable diffrence is not worthit..perhaps when they gain more ground on the market they will try to implement oled on theire samrtphones..but with the new quantum IPS thats not really needed..

                                    the world is not ready for that, all people want is a phone to communicate, not to flex the device like a toy.

                                        it just doesn't makes sense to discuss if this technology can be applied to hand-phones or not. Why would someone really need or want a flexible display in their hand?
                                        Of course this technology would have a lot more interesting applications in other areas. What about attaching flexible screens to other electronics in your house, or car, or whatever you want to add a screen to?
