Samsung gives the first look of its flexible Phones

Infinity Display Design

SDC saw Samsung announce several innovations on its phones. Starting with the 4 “Infinity” class displays, the first three ‘Infinity-U’, ‘Infinity-V’, and ‘Infinity O’ revealed the next generation of Samsung display design that incorporates a notch. And a fourth titled ‘New Infinity” that is a bezel-less, notch-less display design.

The flexible phone with ‘Infinity Flex Display’

Samsung also recounted its contribution and innovation to the mobile phone designs over the years, starting from the AMOLED Display launched in 2010, the larger than life (read usual) 5.3″ displays launched as part of Galaxy series in 2011, and several other innovations.

It culminated in the reveal of Infinity Flex Display, its first foldable phone that works like a compact smartphone and unfolds to reveal a large display for multitasking and viewing content.

The Infinity Flex Display was launched by Justin Denison, Samsung’s SVP of Mobile Product Marketing.
