| According to a report from Bloomberg, citing unnamed sources, the company is developing a clam-shell foldable phone that harkens back to the heyday of flip phones like Motorola’s Razr phone. The company is also working on a phone that can fold away from the user, similar to the recently unveiled Mate X phone from Huawei.The Wireless industry is an ever-changing world where big ideas come along daily.

Samsung, Huawei and Xiaomi are all now working on phones with flexible screens, though it’s unclear how consumers will respond to the products or their prices. Samsung’s foldable Galaxy retails at $1,980, while Huawei’s Mate X’s price tag comes in at $2,600. Samsung expects to produce at least 1 million foldable phones in 2019, according to Bloomberg.The success of the foldable phone could help Samsung regain some momentum as smartphone sales have cooled. Earlier this year, Samsung revealed its smartphone business failed to meet expectations in 2018 due to lackluster sales and increased competition from Chinese competitors such as Huawei. Apple also recently cut its sales forecast for the first time in 15 years, warning investors of lower-than-expected revenue during the important, end-of-year holiday quarter.The early versions of foldable phones rely on plastic polymers that are very flexible, but prone to creasing and scratches. Samsung acknowledged that the phone is prone to developing a crease down the middle after it has been folded over 10,000 times. Bloomberg reports that the company is even considering offering free screen replacements for customers. -- ???????? | |||
