Apparently, the companies have found another "chip" for future smartphone models. Previously, we watched the race for megapixels, now it is actual to install as much RAM as possible and to deprive the screens of mobile devices of the frames. The next step is, apparently, the appearance of a noticeable number of bent smartphones.

Not so long ago, the beginning was laid by the smartphone ZTE Axon M - not too common for a modern consumer device, consisting of two halves with screens on each, connected together hinges. It's difficult to call a similar device a smartphone, but in terms of size it's closer to the tablet.

Sources in the industry believe that next year many large manufacturers will introduce on the market folding "smartphones". This, according to DigiTimes, in addition to ZTE, Huawei, Oppo and Samsung, as well as some other companies. Also, the emergence of electronic devices with bendable displays. However, the dates are different: 2018 and 2020.
