I used to have the Nokia mobile phones. Never ventured with other brands. But admittely I did like the Motorola Flip – a friend of mine used to have it, and I used to love, ‘flipping’ it close – when i’d finished a call.
What a classic. Available in different colours too…..
How times have changes. Let’s be honest. It’s all got a bit boring…
Don’t get me wrong… I love my Apple iPhone. It’s lovely. But however, that novelty factor that we used to have of sliding, folding, etc… had all gone.
Sliding Bal? – you used to have a phone like that?
Yes – the banana phone, as it was known.
Anyway…. those times might be coming back… Samsung, leading the way.
They’ve designed and bought to life a foldable screen!
What Bal?! A screen that folds?!!!
Yes! Samsung have designed new screen materials, including a flexible OLED layer and backplane, that are then layered beneath an ultra thin polarizer, a new shock-absorbent film, and a more durable (and flexible) polymer cover window on top. And to hold everything together. Clever huh?
What does all this mean? – well…
It’s a phone that you can fold!! – How awesome is that?! I’d buy it just for the novelty factor.
Now… couple of things here, 1) Samsung are doing some great research and bringing to life some fantastic products… 2) We may get some exciting phones again… and 3) What does it mean for Apple?
Samsung haven’t revealed much else – in terms of pricing and availability.
What we do know it’ll be available somewhere in mid-2019. And it’ll be the most expensive phone available.
