Samsung reveals its first Folding Phone “Infinity Flex”

Samsung throws big news in the market related to its product before launch and this time, it’s about a folding phone which has become viral in the social media. We have been hearing about folding phones and Samsung showed us what a folding phone with technology looks like. Samsung showed a prototype of its new phone having a foldable display. The phone when folded, is a smartphone and when unfolded, is a tablet. The idea of foldable phone proves that despite some failures in the couple of devices, Samsung has the ability to innovate.

In Samsung Developing Conference, the company revealed the prototype of its “Infinity Flex Display” which is a folding device in a pitch-black room, the device was protected in a larger case. The outer display of the front has a low screen-to-body ratio, but the inner unfolded display is 7.3″. The folding display is on the inner side of the phone rather than outside edge. The inner display side can be folded hundreds and thousands of times without degrading the display quality and any signs of wear and tear.

The device has two displays, one larger display on the inner side of the phone and one smaller display when the phone is folded up. When the phone is unfolded, the apps which were being used from the front display will move to a tablet-sized display. The company aims to give battery life as long as other galaxy smartphones, despite the fact that there is more screen to drain the battery. The device will focus on the handy and quick access and interactions. When the device is unfolded, the cover display will turn off and go black.

Samsung is not ready to release this type of device yet because the company is still working on the apps and features of the foldable phone, but the company will be able to start its mass production in the coming months. Samsung believes that this folding display is the foundation of future phablets.

We hinted at Samsung's foldable phones in one of our previous blogs. Samsung has been planning of launching a foldable phone since 2013. 

Samsung won’t be the first company to launch screen-folded technology and not the last as well. Huawei is also planning to release a foldable phone next year. Other mobile companies like Lenovo and Xiaomi have also started working on their prototypes. The officials at Samsung believe that they are representing an entirely new mobile platform because this is the era in which size of the screen can only be large as device itself and Samsung is helping in browse, watch and multitask like never before.

The new Samsung Galaxy S10

The next big thing in the upcoming year and that too in 2019’s first quadrant is the Samsung Galaxy S10, the news of which has been around for almost half a year now. First there were rumors, but then there were some leaks which showed that Samsung this time is coming with something much interesting next year, unlike something that has ever been done before, and that doesn’t come down to just one feature but a bunch of features for the Samsung loyalists

Starting from the center of the show, the concept video by Samsung that was launched in 2013 showed a fold-able screen phone, this time the implementation of the concept is likely to be shown in a reality. 

The second thing which Samsung ignored and even teased iPhone and other of it’s competitors was the notch, which Samsung in a very genius ways ignored from the past year, and from these years of no-notch research they might be able to provide a Galaxy with no notches at all, a true all screen phone, now you guys will be thinking of what about the speakers!! What about the front facing camera!! What about the finger print sensor, from the latest leak from a conference being held in China,  in a Marriott hotel of Shenzen, during a PPT presentation they showed the FoD (Fingerprint on Display), HoD (Haptics on Display), and SoD (Sound on Display) and UPS (Under Panel Sensors). 

The presentation leaked image was quite promising of the fact that we are not so far away from the complete Notch Free Smartphones. The S10 will also feature three different variants with a budget phone, a standard flagship and a plus model at a premium price. They are also bidding in America to be the first Smartphone company to acquire a 5G enabled phone.
