Each week, we spotlight a cool innovation recommended by some of the industry's top tech writers. This week's pick is a folding smartphone.
Samsung's new foldable phone is on its way to mass production, said Shara Tibken at CNET. The phone, which uses a technology called the Infinity Flex Display, becomes a tablet when fully opened.

Folded into a phone, it's 4.6 inches, with a skinny 21:9 display.
