26 November 2016
Could we finally be on the verge of mass-marketable, bendable and foldable panels?

Must be many problems, because not durable. Hardware and chipset easy damage by moving and twisting act.
Permanent damage to port connector slot.
Battery unstable unsafe unreliable.

      And by the way, did you expect some company to make products first before patenting them? You're out of your mind...

            Didn't that judge in the U.K. That ruled in Samsung's favor get a job at Samsung right after. Nothing unusual happened there.

            Stick to reading spec sheets. You obviously can't understand anything more complex than that.

                been waiting since Samsung showcased in 2013.. Wont be released to market in this decade.. We will see only more cgi concepts

                  Someone should comeup with transparent smartphone first before these bending and foldable things.

                      I suppose if Samsung puts them special batteries in them that they experimented with in the note it should be technically a flexible phone

                            Where is the working product?
                            They just patented idea so others won't release flexible phones.
                            Nobody will work on this because even if they do they will have to pay royalities to samsung because they've got the patent.
                            Patenting ideas should be forbidden - patents should protect real products.

                                But I'm pretty sure those are the obvious obstacles that have us sitting here talking about why it doesn't exist yet
