LG and Samsung have both released flexible phones recently to demonstrate what they are both capable of building. But do we really need flexible phones?

The LG G Flex has a self healing back and can be flexed flat by pushing down on it. It moves by about 5mm downwards from the centre point before it goes flat. This really fascinates me. A self healing back and slightly flexible. Why you may ask?

Well it means that future phone will be more durable. Scratches won’t be a problem and the odd drop or two won’t crack the screen. It will also potentially negate the need for a case.

I can’t wait for future developments in hardware. 2014 could be an interesting year.
