Samsung and LG working on folding phones

Xiaomi too, late 2017 if not later

We are facing two major trends in 2017 and 2018. One is having phones with really small bezels and the second is a way toward folding phones. The latter is expected in late 2017 at the earliest, but all major companies have filed patents covering folding phones.

Samsung calls its project a Galaxy X - this is a Samsung folding phone and the Korea Tribune expects that there will be 100K of this phone shipping in late 2017. The concept is very simple - your phone can open like a book to a tablet like device, giving you a larger screen to read.

Samsung will be able to do this thanks to the flexible displays we’ve seen last year.
