Samsung Unveils Flexible Android Smartphone?

[vulcan001]

So i was going through Android Authority news & wierd thing comes up a flexible samsung android phone? I couldnt really believe it & the specs on it is unbelievable its specs top out to a regular android phone. What are your guys thoughts on this one? Im thinking this phone will be an easier phone to break.

Specs of the Samsung Skin: Flexible 4″ AMOLED display (800?480) made of plastic polyimide substrate, 1 GB RAM; 1.2 GHz processor; 8 MP rear camera and VGA front camera with auto focus, self-portrait, stop motion, action shot, and Panorama shots; and 1500 mAh battery. Connectivity-wise, it has Bluetooth 3.0, USB 2.0, and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n features. It will reportedly run on Android Jellybean (the next Google OS version after Ice Cream Sandwich), but there are speculations that Google will make a special version for it, namely Android Flexy.

According to the report I just read: Galaxy Skin: Samsung to release bendy-screened smartphones 'in Spring 2012' | Mail Online

It says that it will be "practically unbreakable" and can 'survive hammer blows".

If this is true...

Um, OMG YES!

That would be handy with some Velcro to wrap around your wrist and go for a jog or whatever.

Yeah it shouldn't but what about when that time comes how far will cell Boone technology be? I'd rather have more on my phone than the specs that one has.

That 'Android Flexy' it might have could be a variant of Froyo just kidding but this will be a seriously cool phone and it will surely bring something new to the table.

Samsung debunks the myth that the flexible Galaxy Skin phone is anything but a concept render

I hate to be a buzzkill.. but this is just a design and a very early proof of concept.. there is no actual release product behind it..

Yeah screens can be flexible but internals are not. A flexible cpu / chip....... not yet.

Doesn't have to be. You can make it so that the device only bends in certain spots. Say, bend in half. Put all the unflexible things in the unflexible places.
