The amount of technology wonders have made us neutral to any impressive innovation but the new jewel of Samsung in the field of mobile telephony, might outweigh any possible competition.

The Korean company has announced to its fans the newcomers of the first six months of 2013, and they are obviously trying to achieve something that can stay in the history for the hi-tech enthusiasts.

Samsung announced the launch of the latest generation of mobile phones based on a technology called OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode), which have a striking feature: they are flexible.
Yes, you heard it right: we’re talking about phones with a structure and above with a screen that can be folded and literally rolled like its elastic.

This new type of display developed by Samsung, unlike those normally used, does not require the external sources of light because the light that is necessary to operate works completely autonomously: a feature that allows these phones be extremely flexible, and being able to roll.

The achievement of this technology will not be limited only to phones, it may be extended, for example, up to tablets, allowing Samsung, that is already a leader in the sector, reach an absolute level of innovation.

The diodes that auto illuminate and allow this “magic” have been tested by Samsung at CES at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and the lucky ones who were able to attend the show could witness the extreme flexibility of the mobile screen with the size of about four and a half inches and only 0.3 mm thick.

The next C.E.S. is scheduled for January 2013 and could be the perfect opportunity to see the prototype of what could be the “folding” phone that will start to be sold by Samsung in the beginning of 2013 (the intention is to start the sail of this model before the beginning of July).

Surely these extremely original and futuristic devices will have a possible to download applications such as yuilop free_to_all app that allows calls and keeping in touch with friends and family worldwide and free. Available for iOS and Andorid.

With the sixth generation iPhone rumoured to be unveiled in a couple of days (12th Sept), it’s high time to set our expectations even higher! Should we be aiming for the incredible-futuristic “oh-my-god-I-can’t-believe-it-level”? So, let’s take a closer look at what the future looks like for smartphones, shall we?
 
You guys all have in mind the hologram scene from Minority Report, where Tom Cruise performs a ballet of sorts with an interactive panel. It’s the typical image that we have about the future of human-computer interaction. But what if reality was even more exotic and incredible than fiction?
 
Take the newest Google smartphone glasses. The evolution of GSM may have seemed a bit dull (boring?) since the first iPhone, with no ground-breaking innovations whatsoever. Google has obviously decided to shake things up a little bit with its latest venture. It’s called Glass Project, and it is set to blow your mind. It will include a completely revolutionary interface, voice recognition and a science fiction-like display of information two inches from your face. You will be able to send texts, browse the internet and play movies in the blink of an eye! You can already check out a few of those features in motion on the Google+ company page. Now, even though a few worries may come to mind, it still looks awesome. Those babies will be coming to stores near you by the end of 2012 (No. Seriously.).
 
You think it cannot get any crazier? Think again. Analysts predict that phones in the coming decades will be nothing like they are today. Not even in the slightest bit. So forget everything that you know about smartphones. Stop thinking iPhone. Start thinking Star Wars! Some analysts have drafted what the next generation of mobile phones will look like: paper thin and completely flexible, you will be able to fold them at your will (I’ve always wanted to make origamis with my Nokia). Others predict features that are even more exotic. Future phones will be able to interact with your environment and recognize objects from your daily life. Want to know what’s missing from your fridge? Just stick your phone to the door, and it will automatically tell you. But wait! There is more. Screens have grown bigger with tactile technology. In the future, it may simply… disappear! Wait, that’s not entirely true. Instead of disappearing, the screen will project itself all around your environment via holograms. Just like in Minority Report, yeah. But they didn’t have yuilop in Minority Report (poor folks) – that was beyond their thinking at the time
 
All this sounds pretty awesome, but keep in mind that we probably can’t even imagine yet most of the innovations that will take place! Who would have imagined phones would enable us to go on the Internet at top speed twenty years ago? So keep a close eye on the wind of change!
 
The best part? You will soon be able to send holograms to your friends around the world for free (when technology make it available)… via yuilop!
