    such a highly flexible phone would probably lose the glass so it could just be shatter proof. the display itself is almost indestructible so this shouldn't be too hard to achieve.
    and to the guys who are complaining about battery R&D and sht like that, Samsung doesn't do that, I'm pretty sure there are other companies out there who are hard at work on this field and S is no match for them - u can't be the best in everything, so why try to force it.

      I hope samsung makes a true transparent display like we see in movies. I can pay whatever amount of money samsung wants for that kind of smartphone!

              What's the use of bending in the 1st place?

                Ok great idea and looks good but don't see the purpose of it.. S6 Edge makes sense to me, it works and looks great too!

                    Ugh, i've just talked myself out of buying an S6 edge and now Samsung is really taking the way of curved screens and phones. It'll be hard to resist if only for the wow factor.

                        Anonymous, 13 Mar 2015Samsung copy from iPhone 6+!iPhone came up with bendable phone which cannot retain the original design though. :P
                        But this is flexible phone so I guess, it can be bent in both directions and still retain its original shape.

                            of innovation in the smartphone
                            industry lately and it looks like things
                            will continue in the same direction."

                            Of course things will continue in that direction simply because samsung has come in and will undoubtedly transform this sector(as they always do!).

                                Looks innovative.

                                Hopefully this technique will be applied to Note 5 or S7.

                                I cannot wait to have a phone like that...

                                Wonering when will air keyboard be available to phone use.
