so after bending this phone like a thousand times, do they really believe that the whole phone will retain the ability to become perfectly flat?

          nicky, 13 Mar 2015scared of new tech?I thought he had a point - "smartphone innovation becoming illogical". Focus on areas which need immediate improvement - overheating, battery life, durability, stability of OS, security etc, instead of gimmicks like heart rate sensor, eye tracking, 10000ppi display etc.

                          No one needs such technology..smartphone innovation is now becoming illogical...what i need in smartphones is that the battery that lasts more than 3 days..i don't even care with this flexible screen,4K resolution,octa-core processors, heart rate sensors that is sometimes inaccurate, fingerprints and blah blah blah..

                            Confuse?, 13 Mar 2015What's the use of bending in the 1st place?So you can have a phone with a giant display that still easily fits in a pocket.

Can't you understand that this kinda device will change the way we communicate? These kinda devices will be able to wrap around the wrist & we can do everything on wrist like in sci-fi space movies. It will be hands free and then we won't have to worry about losing the device. So much better then latest trend.
