Tablets are really useful devices (设备)，but their big screens are always a burden to carry around. Wouldn't it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit neatly into the hand?
Now something like a tabletshaped but foldable phone is about to become available. In February, South Korean electronics company Samsung and China's Huawei both launched foldable phones. Mobile phone use has entered the “foldable future”．
The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their bendable screens, give us the larger screens we want. Meanwhile, they still fit easily into the pocket. As USA Today noted, they're “the combination of a small tablet and smartphone, all in a single device”．
The technology could change other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers. In crowded modern cities, they will help us to maximize available space.
Samsung's senior vice president of mobile product marketing, Justin Denison, called the foldable screen “the foundation for the smartphone of tomorrow”. “It's a blank canvas (画布)for us to do something beautiful together，” he said.
So is there nothing to stand in the way of the foldable future？According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of every ten OLED (有机发光二极管)screens produced were found imperfect. While it has been improved today, the price is still too high for people to afford.
But if the foldable device isn' t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming. Patrick Moorhead, an industry analyst told The verge, “Few are debating if foldable or rollable mobile displays are the future of smartphones; the only question is when and by whom.”
