Hello all, for todays blog post I will be
discussing bendable smartphones, although there has been lots of talk and
displays for these devices for years now they will finally be on the market by
the end of this year.
More specifically “Samsung
says it will be making between 30,000 and 40,000 flexible displays per month by
the end of 2015. The first device to use this bendable technology will launch
by the end of next year, but Samsung says that "nothing has been decided
on the finished product."1
This
however brings up the topic is it going to be bendable or just flexible? Seeing
as how Samsung and LG already have phones that have slightly curved screens,
will it all just be a big money scheme to grab attention? The quote below helps
solve these questions.
“Based on the way Samsung is describing its newer technology, however,
it sounds like you'll be able to actually fold and bend future phones. Of
course, developing a bendable screen is only half the battle — manufacturers
still need to find a way to make processors, batteries, and all the other
components inside smartphones flexible too. LG
and Samsung have both already started working on batteries
that can bend and fold.”2
After reading this
article I can’t stop thinking to myself what actual use could this benefit me?
Let alone how successful the launch of the product will be. Personally I don’t
believe this will be a trend in the near future, but who really knows with the
advancement of phones these days. People are walking around with smartphones
too big to fit into their pockets so they may have to start folding up their
smartphones just so they can carry out their so-called portable device.
To conclude this blog
post I will add a video that will provide more information on these crazy
bendable smartphones, Thank you for reading and Stay tuned for more posts about
the new technology that would one day be the norm.
