After weeks of teasing, Samsung has finally announced its foldable smartphone, at its fifth annual developer conference in San Francisco. The foldable phone, which is essentially a tablet when fully opened and a phone when closed, was demonstrated by Samsung’s Senior Vice President of Mobile Marketing Justin Denison at SDC last night.

Samsung said, “The Infinity Flex Display together with One UI delivers a new kind of mobile experience allowing users to do things they couldn’t do with an ordinary smartphone. Users now have the best of both worlds: a compact smartphone that unfolds to reveal a larger immersive display for multitasking and viewing content. The app experience seamlessly transitions from the smaller display to the larger display as the device unfolds. In addition, users can browse, watch, connect and multitask without losing a beat, simultaneously using three active apps on the larger display.”
