Forget curved screen, curved phone is the way to go. I also remembered how the curved side screen of Edge-branded Samsung is used for notifications, very novel.

I owned a red GFlex 2 back then. It was surely an eye caching phone. It was a good phone too. Aside from mediocre battery life, I don't think it had any other flaws.
I'm certainly gonna miss LG. They were one of the few companies which experimented with new concepts & designs every once in a while.

And Apple would be the one that reinvent and perfected Folding phone, im pretty sure of that.
It always been like that.
Good for the industry, phone technology has been stagnated for ages now.

Dear team from GSM Arena when comes to foldable things Kyocera Echo were first back in 2011 i think. That was a start.
Samsung and LG just help popularize.
Like Sharp had irst phone with Notch but it was Apple X who helped popularize stupid notch trend.
And so on.

yes, and for this kind of experiments people mock companies, they forget that without trying nothing can be accomplished.
samsung was hated for their curved screens, but thats what laid ground for foldable phones, now when they'll pioneer the thechnology then iPhone will order the foldable display's for their iphones.
