Samsung flexible phones could be underway with the filing of a patent by the company. It is to be expected by Samsung smartphone enthusiasts that the company might release two flexible phones this year.
The race towards the production and release of bendable or flexible mobile devices has excited the interest of tech savvy worldwide. With Samsung currently boasting its lead, fans are expecting a release of the flexi-device this year after the company filed a patent on June 9, 2015, under the patent number US 9,557,771 B2, according to Phone Arena.
The anticipated flexi-phone from Samsung may not have the iconic Galaxy S name attached to it, according to Digital Trends. Based on the leaked information about the plans of the company with their patented device, a cosmetic compact like design is to be expected by consumers.
The said description obtained from the leaks somehow coincides with the device feature patented by Samsung. The patent report indicates that the "electronic device with flexible display" will come with a hinge to help the device unfold itself.
Moreover, this would not be the first time that the flexible smartphone from Samsung has been discussed. On a separate report, it was mentioned that the technology is ripe for harvest, and the upcoming Samsung Note 8 has been highly associated with such device advancement.
It was pointed out that Note 8 may assume a flexible or bendable display come its release. Although the speculation lacks sufficient backing, many individuals still believed that the prototype for flexible screen technology that was unveiled in 2013 is ready to be incorporated into Samsung's mobile devices.
Granting that such feature and futuristic improvement will be integrated into the upcoming Note 8 or other Samsung devices, an expected high value would go along with it. The usual $800 price of the Note series will likely be increased a little bit higher considering the technological leap that Samsung flexible phones will be offering.
