The first smartphone was introduced in the year 2007, with a single camera and a couple of smart features. In just a few years, most of the consumers were holding a smartphone in their hand all day; and today we can’t imagine living without it.
In just a couple of years, it replaced digital cameras, and with certain limits, it also became a pocket laptop, gaming device and more. It all started with a small touch screen and now we have smartphones with foldable displays. The incremental upgrades made it fascinating to know what’s coming next.
Future displays: Foldable, Flexible, and Holographic too?
In 2019, foldable displays entered the market. Manufacturers like Samsung and Motorola announced their devices with foldable screens. Later on, both companies announced their next versions with improved functionalities. At the moment, foldable phones were largely considered interesting gimmicks, but unfortunately, they were not able to attract masses because they were expensive and also because the software wasn’t advanced enough. In the future, hopefully, foldable phones become more affordable and vital for certain functions, so that people jump on board.
The foldable displays are expected to reach the next level. We have seen foldable phones, but in the near future, we can see multi-folding phones. Oppo has filed patents for a triple-fold phone. The triple folding slide phone is sized around a credit card when folded, measuring 54mm x 84mm and features three hinges that bend over in the same direction.
