Samsung says its first truly bendable device will launch before 2015

Samsung and other tech companies have been beating the flexible display drum for a very long time now, but the closest things we've actually gotten are slightly curved phones like the Galaxy Note Edge.

The wait for a truly flexible smartphone may end soon, though, as one Samsung executive has promised a bendable device by the end of 2014, reports ZDNet.

"We plan to provide consumers with a product that has a flexible display by the end of the year," Lee Chang-hoon, vice president of Samsung Display's business strategic team, said at an NYC event for Samsung investors.

"However, nothing has been decided on the finished product," he added.
