The year 2016 was announced as the year in which Samsung would launch the first smartphone with a foldable OLED screen, the Koreans are working hard to finalize this product for a possible launch, and in the video clip below we can see how a prototype of the foldable screen that would be implemented in it works.
As you can see from the video clip below, the screen can be bent without losing its properties to render images as clear as possible, the achievement being a very big one for a company that has previously presented prototypes of this kind with many years ago.
The foldable OLED screen from Samsung is 5.7 inches, resolution 1920 x 1080 pixels and 386 pixels per inch, its thickness is 0.3mm, large if we consider that the touch sensors that register the presses made on the screen must also be applied on top of it.
Although Samsung's achievement is impressive, the problem is that the screen is currently too thick to be implemented in a smartphone with a thickness of 7mm, so the launch of a foldable smartphone in 2016 could remain just a dream if Samsung does not have a version thinner prepared.
