1.Triple Display Phone is Unbelievably Cool, Features Flexible Screens (Video)
I have a soft spot for well-done demon s, even if they exist only in concept form, and today's design Kristian Ulrich Larsen has truly impressed us with his latest design, the Flip Phone. This is a triple display handset, as you can see below and it’s based on flexible AMOLED touchscreens, plus a keyboard on the back side. This can become a triangular photo frame-like thingie or the perfect media player if you want.
2.iPhone 7 flexible screen
The iPhone 7 is expected to launch with a fresh design later this year, but it probably won’t look anything like this. A new concept design from Sonitdac imagines a pretty insane version of the upcoming smartphone with an expanding widescreen display.
At the start of the video, this iPhone 7 actually looks pretty normal. The basic curvy design is the same, though the display now bends slightly around the left and right sides of the device. However, at the press of a button, the screen suddenly expands to offer a new widescreen view.
It’s a pretty awesome idea, though we really don’t think this is where Apple is headed. The back of the device also includes plenty of exposed gears and components, which doesn’t really mesh with Cupertino’s closed system aesthetic. Finally, the entire thing looks pretty flimsy.
Rumor has it Apple will eventually make the switch to a flexible display like the one included in this concept, but that probably won’t happen until at least 2018. In the meantime, the company will probably make a few more minor visual changes while upgrading the internal hardware. Still, it’s fun to imagine how crazy the iPhone 7 could possibly be.
The feature of iPhone 7
Three screen sizes
A resolution your movies and games deserve
Wireless charging
Curved displays
No more 16GB models
Expandable storage
Even better cameras
Look ID
Speaker shift
An unbreakable screen
Waterproof iPhone
Price
It's unlikely that Apple's main iPhone 7 will be any easier on the wallet than past variants. Most experts reckon the new iPhone will start at £539 for a 16GB model, effectively taking the place of the current iPhone 6s - which will see an incremental drop in price.If true, we could expect other models with larger storage - 64GB and 128GB most likely - to stick with the £619 and £699 prices.
3.Samsung's first truly flexible and folding smartphone will come in 2017
Oh hello again Samsung folding smartphone rumor, we were wondering where you've been. Yes, it seems since everyone got wind of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S7 curved display edge models we all sort of forgot about the fact that Samsung has been working on true flexible displays for several years now. Every now and then, the firm pops up and says "still working on it!", and we know it has plans (because it's said so before) to introduce an actual folding display device using flexible OLED at the earliest possible opportunity.
So now we're inside 2016 and a new report from Korean source news claims that Samsung is preparing mass-production of folding flexible OLED displays by the end of the year, with the aim to possibly introduce phones designed around these panels inside 2017. It's alleged that the first model would be a 5in smartphone which can be unfolded into a 7in tablet. Dubbed "Project Valley" the prototype is thought to be undergoing testing with Qualcomm Snapdragon 620 and 820 chips with 3GB of RAM.
It's an exciting possibility that we'll see a hybrid phone-tablet next year, however, it's important to remember this will be the very earliest iteration of such technology. Concepts have been designed before based on a much more flexible future, where other internal components such as the battery and processor are also flexible; allowing for a device that can bend and fold in any direction. That's unlikely to happen with this first round of devices, as the only tech that is becoming flexible is the screen - we expect a device which features a flexible screen but which is based around a solid body containing the solid processor and battery tech, just like other current smartphones.

4.HTC 2 is a Dual Boot Flexible Screen Handset
HTC concept phone dubbed HTC 2. This is a dual boot device with a wraparound flexible screen, that allows it to open up and become a tablet.
Inside it, we find a Snapdragon 800 CPU and ass you can see the handset is all screen. The CPU has a clock rate of 2.2 GHz and the device also comes with 4 GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage and a 41-megapixel Pure view camera. There’s a 5 MP front camera and a 4000 mAh battery, that charges in 20 minutes somehow.
I have to say that the slate version of the device looks very hot, with Windows 8 on board. I can’t really figure out which side of the device has the screen on and I have a feeling there’s a screen on both sides (back and front). It’s not impossible to have a dual boot Android + Windows device since Google and Microsoft have been working together for some time now and Google pays Microsoft fees for certain aspects of Android.
