Speculative news out of Asia this week suggests Samsung Display could be about to supply more foldable screens to non-Samsung smartphone makers later this year.

It means foldable-screen yields in factories may finally be improving. Output is rising.

It means premium smartphone brands -- such as (say) Apple iPhone or Google Pixel -- might be able to get their hands on more bendy displays.

Samsung already has an emerging portfolio of foldable phones, such as Galaxy Z Fold2 or Z Flip. If the rumors are correct, other Android or iOS handset vendors may well be about to join them.
