In addition to LG and Samsung, Chinese brands including Lenovo, Huawei, and OPPO have also indicated that they will launch foldable smartphones, probably next year. It is believed that foldable smartphones will come with more applications. For example, you can easily fold the screen into the size of a conventional smartphone. However, when you need to view a content with a larger display, you can expand the screen.
In addition, the screen can achieve a large concave use mode, which means that the screen can achieve irregular forms, which can be used in more wireless communication devices, such as smart wearable devices, or onboard display screens.
