2019 Hype
Throughout this last year especially and making their way even more so into 2019 are bezeless displays. The desire for displays to have no border and be nothing but screen has been around for the past few years and companies have been slowly but surely been moving towards accomplishing their goals to achieve this. But even more so in recent newsworthy tech are foldable displays. I’d like to discuss with you why these are important for modern society.
Foldable Smartphones
Instead of being the same as they were before (flip phones dumb phones) phones or smartphones are now folding in a different way, the screen actually folds! This is very innovative technology that has not yet found perfection, and perhaps might be a ways off from just that, but the fact that this tech exists is totally awesome.
As for what is available thus far, that tech has proven to be more useful than gimmicky, actually. Consider how quite a few smartphone users have a tablet as well; then consider combining those 2 into one device!
This would be great because:
- Smartphones are much more portable and can be transported in your pants pocket, while tablets are not as portable, but have a folding display to bring your tablet along with you gives you that portability!
- If someone is looking to edit things on their phone, it makes for a better experience having a bigger screen real estate; just by the fold of your smartphone screen, there you have it.
The current companies with foldable smartphones are Samsung with the Galaxy Fold and Huawei with the Mate X. These smartphones aren’t going to be for everybody especially considering their price point(s) coming in at almost $2000 USD, but perhaps with time, these tech giants amongst others will find ways to bring their prices to a more desirable number.
