Samsung New Flexible Smartphone for Active Users

Samsung may be wooing active users with a new patent for a flexible smartphone that could blur the line between a phone and a smartwatch.

A report on Patently Mobile said the patent that surfaced at the US Patent Office hints at not just a flexible screen or display but at at a flexible frame.

"The invention just isn't about a flexible display but also a completely flexible frame that could be bent forwards and backwards with relative ease," it said.

According to the report, the case frame may be formed of at least one of a synthetic resin, a metallic material, a glass material, a Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP), and a Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP).
