Samsung Youm - Future Smartphone with foldable, rollable and bendable built-up

Samsung showcased their super thin Youm Smartphone with rolling, folding, bending ability and OLED display at Consumers Electronic Show 2013 event in Las Vegas and is being taken as the next generation smartphone.

Our past experiences with outdated technologies states that new technology is shrinking the techno gadgets, with time. There was a time when desktop computer market was blooming in IT industry but arrival of handy tablets, laptops and smartphone completely diversified the market. Change is the demand of time and when talking about techno gadgets, they are reducing in size, getting lighter and becoming human friend day-by-day, where Romo Robot and myKeyID are the perfect instances for the same. Samsung is one of such manufacturers who are working on making high-end techno-products and unveiling most innovative product in market for you.

OLED Display  

Samsung showcased this outstanding technology specimen in CES 2013 with super thin form factor for future smartphones and tablets. Samsung Youm features advanced OLED display technology to let users experience amazing colors and contrast while imaging. The product is constructed such a way that you can even bi-fold it and keep in your wallet. While showcasing its prototype in CES, Brien Berkeley, the senior vice president of Samsung, demonstrated it with bending its sides from all around, very easily. So, company built up this device body with some malleable material, which is no doubt a secret of the company.

Youm’s flexibility

This Future technology will allow you keep your smartphone bi-fold in your wallet, roll it to put in your pen stand and bend its around edges for adjusting in your small pocket also.

Other manufacturing competitors in market

Though one can carry his notebook and smartphone today, in a handy bag and pocket, still customers doesn’t satisfy with such extend. In this hectic schedule of life and with such a fast run up, an average customer expects some extra portability and attractive look of handy devices. So, companies are drilling down in depth of technologies for making their products more attractive and handy.

If you are thanking Samsung to bring such a nice innovation for you than please note that Samsung is not the solo player who is working on this technology. Many other main-stream manufacturers are also capitalizing regularly on their research and developments of innovative products for beating their competitors. And in this case, other companies like Nokia and LG are also working on similar project and both of them have already demonstrated flexible prototypes for their future tablets and smartphones.

PaperTab tablet and e-book

If you as taking it as the extreme edge of smartphone technology, I would ask you to think again and be ready to wait and watch for more magical innovations in coming days. Here I could not stop myself introducing you with Paper-thin tablet. Most recently I have read about this coming technology in a most popular monthly magazine ‘Electronics For You’.

As per this book, researchers at Intel technologies, Plastic Logic and a Canadian college working on a tablet called PaperTab which is as thin as a paper and claimed to be used like a tablet or an e-book. It is made up of some flexible material with bendable and flexible plastic screen and a prototype of this device was also shown in CES 2013.

I shall describe PaperTab in more detail in my upcoming articles. You just keep up with me for getting more updates on forthcoming technologies.
