Chinese adversary Lenovo flaunted a comparative 7.8in foldable tablet gadget, the Folio, which changes over into a gadget with a 5.5in screen. Be that as it may, neither LG nor Lenovo openly expressed a time period for a purchaser arrival of a foldable item. 

Samsung has utilized its bendable screen innovation in an assortment of cell phones and TVs to make bended showcases shows for its Galaxy S and Galaxy Note gadgets and bended TVs.
