  1. My previous job was working as an R&D engineer for a large glass manufacturer.

    Basically the 'folding glass' is simply chemically strengthened. Typically this is done using molten potassium nitrite. This causes a process called ion exchange where by the sodium ions in the glass network are replaced by the larger potassium ions from the salt. This introduces a compressive stress into the surface of the glass, closing up what are known as Griffiths flaw or micro abrasions and cracks in the glass that would otherwise propagate into full blown cracks under strain.

  2. Jerry rig everything: Glass is glass and glass breaks.
    I wonder how this ultra thin glass will endure. It sounds like exciting technology. If it will be durable I think that world market will see more and more foldable phones until they become regular smartphones design. Of course there will be expensive flagship foldable and mediocre and cheap. I think that in few years everyone will use foldable phones so today's brick design will be thing of the past. Can anyone imagine what would like be a foldable IPhone 🙂

  3. Big problem still not being addressed is that none of the Smart Phones has a screen that you can see clearly the subject when trying to take a photo in bright Sunshine, so why is that?

  4. When you hear samsung are "developing/working " something, you know other Chinese companies will release their version way ahead of them and samsung will release theirs 5 years later…..
