According to foreign media reports, industry analysts believe that Samsung may release a foldable touch-screen smart phone this year. After the product is unfolded, it will become a tablet computer, suitable for users to read e-books and view pictures. And surfing the web. Samsung has been rumored to launch similar products for several months. Although these rumors have not been confirmed, analysts insist that Samsung will launch this significant foldable mobile product as early as this year.
Combine into one
Currently, devices in the mobile space cover two main categories of products: tablets and smartphones. Tablet PCs are suitable for e-book reading, browsing pictures and surfing the Internet, connecting keyboards to input long manuscripts, etc.; smart phones are suitable for sending and receiving text messages and voice calls. And engineers have always had a dream: to combine the two into one.
Roel Vertegaal, a computer scientist at Queen's University in Canada, said that a similar device turned on was a tablet that was folded into a smart phone. "After launching such a phone, The screen size will be doubled." In addition, similar devices may have some interesting features, such as turning the page of the e-book by bending the phone, the user can directly jump forward by bending the cover of the electronic novel. page number.
Samsung advantage
Samsung has developed flexible displays for at least four years. In order to prevent screen damage due to bending, Samsung has even developed "artificial muscle" materials that can guarantee the bending of the device. Samsung's "artificial muscle" material is not really muscle, it just works like a human muscle.
“I think this dual-mode device will really change the rules of the game,†said Wayne Lam, an analyst at market research firm IHS Markit. “This is not just about creating a new form of mobile phone. It will also eat into the market share of other categories of products."
Other competitors are also considering similar elastic devices. At a product show last summer, Lenovo Group launched a concept product that can be worn on the user's wrist. Last year, China's Moken Group promised to release its own high-end collapsible smartphone. Despite the crowds of competitors in the field, Samsung will be the first among the largest manufacturers to launch a truly flexible screen phone.
At risk
If Samsung releases a similar phone, the appearance of this product may abandon the traditional flat rectangular design, because many manufacturers have developed surface and large-size screen technology. As the world's largest supplier of OLED panels, Samsung has demonstrated a flexible OLED screen concept at the 2013 CES Electronics Show, and has caused great repercussions in the global technology blogosphere. The industry has speculated that Samsung will release one. A smartphone based on a flexible OLED screen.
IDC mobile product analyst William Stofega said that only two companies around the world have the expertise and strength to produce foldable screens for smartphones, namely Samsung and LG. At last year's CES, LG demonstrated an OLED display screen that was less than 1 mm thick. Stowega also said that in terms of time, process complexity and manufacturing costs, any bendable screen product listed this year may be very expensive.
Last year, Samsung was hit hard by the Galaxy Note 7 recall. And Samsung launched a gorgeous foldable phone that can help the company rebuild its reputation. Analyst Stowega said, but this strategy will be very risky. "In the face of a seemingly cool device, after 2000 folds, will it break off from the middle, no People are willing to take this risk."
Samsung did not comment on the company's 2017 product launch plan.
