News & Reviews:   foldable smartphone

Joining the foldable screen bandwagon is Chinese screen manufacturer, BOE. A GIF of the device was posting by Chinese telecommunications operator, China Unicorn show the screen folded from the middle and quickly switching from phone to tablet mode. The foldable display was showcased at the Xinhua News Agency Chengdu New Media Conference in China.

It seems that the trend to follow this year is patents on folding smartphones. Take LG for example. They have just filed a patent where they are positing the idea of a foldable smartphone that can change from a smartphone to a tablet form in a flip.

It seems the rising trend for 2017 will be foldable phones. Samsung is said to have one phone coming soon this year, and apparently Nokia is working on something as well, if this patent recently unearthed is any indication.
