as long as the battery holds up stronger than anything else

It probably won't break as easy if dropped

But do we really want/need bendable display? I want gadgets as hard as possible ;)

my only possible use for this is for big screen displays. so they can bend it at corner of large buildings.

You lack vision. Just because you can not see a use today, doesnt mean there isnt a use for you tomorrow.

Yes we want and need bendable displays because they will last longer and more durable. Some people insurance ends faster than the life of their television.

Would it make a difference if some other company came up with this technology?!

this will not be good since it's plastic maybe it will be resistive not capacitive.

this is the start. Others have already bent batteries. Also, there's a wire that's stretchable. Wait a couple of years and we might see a bendable phone.

But what I want is a bending phone when you want it to bend and stays sturdy when you want it to stay that way.

i mean its cool and all but its these types of things that samsung focuses on that are specifically the "gimmicks" that was talked about sometime ago............they're "cool" but are they "necessary" is the question.....one thing it sure is doing is getting people to believe that, what we "want" is what we need! ...When what we NEED is certainly not what we want..... :(

and one thing you mentioned was "the future" ....well thats correct but just like what they're doing now.......are these things aiming for things we will NEED in the future rather than what we are just simply selfish about and think we need them? And in reality we are just being tech hogs or just flat out greedy for more of what we "want"....

Stop bashing Samsung for once and freaking use your brain!

Since this tech is bendable, it makes the screen basically unbreakable in everyday situations - if the glass cover cracks, the screen bellow will stay usable and you won't have to pay for the entire digitizer!

To put it easy for you - this means a MUCH CHEAPER AND EASIER REPAIR

Well said that man, thankfully his kind are the minority. So when Sony does it, it's ok and not considered a gimmick?

Such an ignorant biased hater. Always trying to bash Samsung with invalid arguments. Try harder next time, if you can..

dont appreciate innovation?

FYI...A transparent flexible battery has already been developed by another company. Google it. A bendable phone body should be an easy problem to solve.

I'm thinking its more durable than a regular screen? I dont think any of us really know. All we really know is its bendable...
