Samsung plotting two bendable smartphones for 2017

Samsung plotting two bendable smartphones for 2017, report says

One of the two rumoured mobiles is said to fold in half like a makeup compact.

Two new Samsung phones with folding screens could be unveiled next year, if reports concerning the South Korean tech giant's smartphone plans are to be believed.

Samsung is mulling the release of two smartphones with bendable screens as soon as next year, according to a report in Bloomberg, which cites anonymous sources "familiar with the matter."

One of the phones, which could reportedly see the light of day in early 2017, is said to fold in half like a makeup compact. The other could serve as a 5-inch smartphone, but fold out into a larger tablet-style gadget.

Samsung's official comment is, "We can't comment on market speculation." It's sensible to take this rumour with a pinch or two of salt, but Samsung certainly has form when it comes to pushing the boundaries of display tech. We were great fans of the company's S7 Edge smartphone , which features two curved edges at the sides of the screen. 
Meanwhile Samsung has been showing off futuristic curving screens as far back as 2013.
