Samsung has shown off a radical 'bending' mobile phone that could be virtually unbreakable.

The Korean electronics company provided a glimpse of such a device at a keynote speech Wednesday at the International CES gadget show in Las Vegas.

The screen is expected to find its way in to Samsung handset, although the firm said the devices shown, which ran Microsoft's phone software, were only prototypes.

Brian Berkeley, head of Samsung Electronics Co.'s display lab in San Jose, California, demonstrated a prototype phone that consisted of a matchbox-sized hard enclosure, with a paper-thin, flexible color screen attached to one end.

The screen doesn't appear flexible enough to fold in half like a piece of paper, but it could bend into a tube, onlookers said

Hmmm...Anyone else think of the earlier video about how Microsoft sees 2019 when they saw this?

in other words, you can put it into your wallet or something like that. It is very neat.

Yeah but you have to wonder how much these things will cost. It will end up being very very over priced.

No one cares if it bends, twists, fold, whatever.. make an ultra phone which has the best signal connectivity, best internet, and 64+ GB of memory!

It is nice to see technology been stretched to it's limits (see what I did there?) but I think it will be one of them 'look what we can do even though no one will actually buy it' sort of things. Somewhat like 3D TV's seem to be like now.

Meh it's just bendable, not really worth anything more than a $50 price adjustment.

Looks neat though...
