SEOUL, South Korea—Just like an old leather wallet CU members have used for years to hold their plastic cards, consumers will soon be able to fold their smartphones and stuff them in their pockets.
As part of its “two-track strategy,” Samsung is developing two types of foldable smartphones that are totally different from each other, ET News reported.
Samsung is developing a “dual-screen” smartphone that uses a flat display on each side and a foldable smartphone that bends a single flexible OLED display.
Reports indicate that Samsung is going to examine responses from markets after releasing its dual-screen smartphone first and introduce its foldable smartphone after clearly showing people how to use foldable smartphones.
ET News reported that Samsung will produce a small amount of dual-screen smartphones first in 2017 for the market test.
