Samsung shows off smartphone with foldable display

Samsung Electronics Co. showed off a new phone with a foldable screen in a bid to shake up a smartphone business awash with black, shiny rectangles that look increasingly similar.

At its conference Wednesday for software developers in San Francisco, the company previewed what it called an Infinity Flex Display, and announced new software for controlling the large phone.

The company said the display can be folded hundreds of thousands of times.

I'm a little put off from Samsung of late, primarily because the battery stuffs up after a year to a year and a half

I'm off Samsung phones now due to the constant battery draining issues I had. You could see in a few minutes how it went from 40% to 0.

I am very impressed with the Huawei's battery life

I like the idea, but will def not touch a Samsung device ever again...

Why not?

I feel the same. Love the concept and will probably buy something like this if it becomes mainstream and affordable. But I'm tired of Samsung in general. After releasing a device they may issue an update here or there sporadically but they more often than not just forget about the device and get working on the next big thing. Not all of us can afford to buy the latest version every year.
