With every launch of the new flagship, we see smartphone makers bringing greater display, more advanced biometric security features, enhanced camera features or AR/VR capabilities. However, the next big thing in the smartphone market is definitely a flexible smartphone.

It is believed that Samsung has begun to develop such smart phones, and companies like LG and OPPO are exploring flexible displays, which can reduce the size of the device by half. Samsung will likely launch a folding smartphone in 2019, as some technical issues still need to be resolved.

According to reports, the Samsung Galaxy X will be folded in half and have a flexible OLED display, but scientists at the University of Exeter have created a new material that gives smartphone manufacturers more flexibility. Included in the design.

In order to achieve a truly flexible smartphone, the internal components will also be flexible, not just the display. The new storage system made of graphene will replace the flash memory chips currently used in smartphones and other types of devices.

This new hybrid graphene oxide memory requires only 5 ns to write and read data. It is also only 50nm long and 8nm thick, providing enough room for smartphone manufacturers to design and function new devices.

In addition to being the lightest and strongest compound in the world, graphene is also the thinnest and is only one atom thick. Carbon-based materials are also the best electrical conductors, which will make them suitable for placement in devices such as smartphones.

One disadvantage of this material is the complexity of the production process. According to reports, Samsung is said to have invested in graphene, and the company even submitted some patent applications. At this point, it is difficult to say whether a memory cell made of graphene will make it a flexible smartphone, but in terms of materials, graphene is definitely the best choice.
