“The smartphone, whose panels face outward upon folding, may be used as a 7-inch tablet when unfolded,” the report said. Also read: Nokia Has Something Exciting to Share at MWC 2017: A Phone May Be?

While Samsung has already taken a leading edge in foldable display technology, the company is still sceptical to go ahead and launch a ‘foldable’ smartphone as such. Also read: Bose SoundTouch 300, LifeStyle 600, 650 Home Entertainment Systems Arrive in India
