Those of us of a certain age will remember floppy discs, but now it looks like we’re in line for the next evolution – floppy phones.
Samsung is hotly tipped to be the first vendor likely to launch a device that can be rolled up, squashed into a pocket, or even bounced off the ground without any damage.
