Going by the photos of the battery from the IThome report, it is developed by Samsung SDI, and is V-Shaped. According to a recent report, Samsung realised that folding the display in half will pose a usability problem because the display is not visible when closed. The technology giant came up with a solution with a display that is folded only by about two-thirds where the exposed bit of the display will show details like time, missed called numbers and more. It is said that the curved device will see the light of day in 2019. Other brands including  **Microsoft, Apple, Huawei**  and  **Nokia**  are also in a process to showcase their foldable devices as patents for the same have already been spotted online.
