After years of rumors, it looks like Samsung is finally going to show the world its first smartphone with a foldable display. Over the weekend, Samsung Mobile changed its Facebook profile picture to the above picture which shows the Samsung logo folded over itself.

Despite a folding phone from Samsung being rumored every year since 2013—including a Samsung-produced concept video in 2014— it seems like foldable phones are finally ready to become a reality. Earlier this month, a company called "Royole" announced the FlexPai smartphone for $1,300, which it called "the world's first commercial foldable smartphone with a flexible display." It looks like a real clunker, but these first-generation devices are usually the first step toward a viable screen device.
