For those who are waiting for the first Samsung smartphone with folding screen, which was supposed to be released in 2017, we have bad news. According to the Korean edition of The Korea Times, the president of Samsung Mobile Ko Dong-jin (Koh Dong-jin), said that while the foldable smartphones are not ready for the appearance on the market, given the current state of technology.
Ko Dong-jin said that Samsung still plans to release a smartphone with a folding screen, because it can revive the telephone industry. But for such an innovative smartphone is necessary to make serious changes in the software, on which, of course, take time.
Also, the head of Samsung Mobile, speaking about the recently announced Samsung Galaxy Note 7 , said that currently the majority of customers want smartphones with large (and very large) displays, and he did not think that in the near future that will change.
Recall, Samsung introduced the first foldable display smartphone five years ago at CES 2011 in early 2011.
