Samsung continues to experiment with its screen and if rumours are to be believed, the latest in the list is foldable screens. Their curved screen has already proved successful and graces the top end phones as a standard feature. 
 

The new model scheduled for 2017 is expected to be a foldable phone with screens on both sides or a single OLED foldable display. Rumours are rife that the company has already produced few sample foldable phones to assess market response. However, device is not bendable in any way, but two sides joined with a panel.
