Smart phone screens are getting bigger, but without the actual devices getting larger, all thanks to folding screen technology.
There was a time when it felt like it was almost a race to see who could make the smallest mobile phones, but back then you only really used a mobile phone to make a call or send a text message. Now thanks to the rise of streaming video content, social media and games, larger screens are in demand.
But just how big can you make a smartphone screen before it’s becomes cumbersome to use? Well thanks to a new generation of screen technology those screens are starting to get even bigger…but will still fit comfortably in your hand.
Samsung’s Galaxy fold is a great example, opening up to present an 18.5cm main display. Also look out for Motorola’s new Razr smartphone. It will have a 6.2inch display…but folds down to a very compact size.
