According to the report, the concept of a foldable smartphone is not new for Samsung as they have been developing it for the past three years. The idea is to have a 5 inch smartphone to be unfolded to become a larger device with a 7 inch display.

The report also says that the device will fold in half like a wallet, and it will use Samsung’s OLED expertise to create the folding display. The smartphone is nearing production according to the same report, and is expected to be out by January 2017.

We at Technave will be monitoring this news closely and will be looking forward to share more details with our readers soon.
