Already in 2013, Samsung stated that the company was expecting 2015 to be a "landmark year" for the use of flexible screens in smartphones.

Challenge
Samsung has already a large number of patents have been applied for smartphone concepts or screens foldable, foldable and even rollable. However, the challenge remains that the screen and other components should not be damaged when they are frequently folded, folded or rolled up.
The device that Samsung would like to introduce early next year would be similar to the above conceptual images. Once folded, the device can be used as a smartphone and a tablet with a 7-inch screen is unfolded.
The screens can not be literally "folded". The crease of the screen should run. This means that there must be room in the device to make this turn on the screen.
