Samsung reveals Infinity Flex Display for its new foldable smartphone

Samsung has finally shown off the display for its upcoming foldable smartphone, called Infinity Flex.

While the South Korean company didn’t officially reveal the go-to-market design of the handset and kept the phone in the shadows, the company was proud to reveal the device will fold together like a book.

Samsung, claims that the display is “flexible and durable enough to be folded hundred and thousands of times.”

The Infinity Flex display is thinner than any other display that Samsung has ever launched, with it being 45 percent thinner than its Super AMOLED display, due to the reduced thickness of its polarizer.

Samsung says when the phone is folded together, the outer display will allow the user to operate like a smartphone does today. When folded out, the Infinity Flex display will have a screen size of 7.3-inches. Samsung says the phone will feature ‘Multi-Active Window’ that allows the user to open three apps all at once — which the company says “is the way multitasking was meant to be.”

With app continuity, Samsung notes when the user is actively using an app on the cover display they can open up exactly where they left off when they open up the handset.

The company will launch a developer APK, hosting a developer session and giving guidelines so that developers can design apps to work with this wider display.

Samsung says the device will use the company’s newest interface One UI and will be “ready to start mass production in the coming months.”

What Samsung showed off was a very thick block of a device, however, Justin Denison, Samsung’s SVP of mobile product marketing said, “we’ve disguised the elements of the design but trust me there’s a device inside here and it is stunning.”
