Flexible Samsung Galaxy Skin Smartphone Folds to Fit in Your Pocket

Designer Heyon You recently unveiled the Samsung Galaxy Skin - a revolutionary concept phone outfitted with a flexible <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active-matrix_OLED">AMOLED</a> screen that can be folded to unlock a remarkable range of functions. The bendable device is designed to project video, can be folded in half so that it stands up for video chatting, and can even be <a href="http://www.ecouterre.com/flexible-oleds-could-lead-to-sony-computer-bracelets-by-2020-video/">wrapped around your wrist like a bracelet</a>!

Taking cues from Gumby and Pokey, You's ultra slim cell phone can be bent and flexed to serve as a wide range of different gadgets.

Samsung has been hard at work on prototype AMOLED displays, so You's Galaxy Skin could one day be a reality.

Folded in half, it can sit on your desk so you can comfortably video chat, hands-free. Fold the ends inward, and the device can sit on your dashboard and serve as a <a href="http://inhabitat.com/i-go-ebike-concept-powers-you-through-the-city-and-charges-your-smartphone/" target="_blank">GPS tracker</a>.

Bent backward, the Galaxy Skin can project your jpegs and Power Point presentation at a business meeting. Sit the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/nokero-solar-chargers-lets-off-the-grid-consumers-charge-their-cell-phones-without-electricity/" target="_blank">phone</a> on its side and it turns into an alarm clock you can see in the dark.

The interface can be used to create a personal <a href="http://inhabitat.com/sennheisers-eco-vinyl-turntables-are-both-environmentally-and-budget-friendly/" target="_blank">tabletop stereo</a>, to play your mp3s. You’s design even includes a multi-projector and a mini camera, to project movies onto any nearby flat surface. The fashion-forward can wrap the flexible phone <a href="http://inhabitat.com/yves-behar-and-jawbone’s-“up”-is-an-app-powered-wristband-promoting-healthy-living/" target="_blank">around their wrist</a>, creating the smartest watch known to man.

The flexible skin doesn’t just change the convenience of the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/belgrade-students-design-solar-powered-cell-phone-charging-station/" target="_blank">smart phone</a>, but how the user controls the interface. By shifting shape this a smart phone can transform into a variety of usable devices, making it a multi-media powerhouse you can fit in your pocket.
