It is as I always suspected: Samsung has the tech to make our phones even more foldable, they just don’t want to share it with us.
At its booth at MWC Barcelona, Samsung Display brought a bunch of foldable, stretchable, and bendable phone and tablet concepts to show just how far OLED display tech has come.
One cool example was the vertically tri-folding phone that leaves a little stretch of display uncovered when folded, and then uses it as a sort of a status display, with essential information like time, date, and battery life. Perhaps not as practical as the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, but definitely cooler.

The company also showcased several larger, tri-folding or tri-bending prototypes which transform from phone to phablet to tablet and vice versa.

Perhaps the most impressive was the stretchy display which had to be seen from the side to be appreciated. The display literally protrudes outwards when needed, adding a 3D effect to the image.
None of these are actual devices that you can buy, and they probably never will be, but the tech will surely trickle out into real products down the line.
