The flexible display allows you to fold the phone.

$1,500 yikes! Ever since Apple broke the $1000 smartphone barrier with the iPhone 10, it seems manufactures are getting bolder in the consumer market. Samsung will really be testing the flexibility of the market with a phone at that price. Don't get me wrong, I love the innovation since this actually looks like the first leap forward technologically since the capacitive touch screen, but dang!
I'll put it to you this way: would you walk around with $1,500 in your pocket? But instead of paper money, the $1,500 is made of aluminum and glass. But... apparently consumers are willing to carry $1000 with the iPhone 10. People will buy anything that gives them status or the 'cool' factor.

EndOfForever,
Thanks for your reply.
If, and I do mean if, they really can do this and mass-produce it, someday you can roll up you cell phone and shove it into the top of your socks. And a roll-up phone may cost less than the designer tennis shoes your wear. :P
Then next they have to make it weatherproof because .... :rofl:
