Is smartphone hardware treading water while industrial designers (1) wait for bendy
screens and other flexible, futuristic components to make more radical models possible?
And will sales continue to decline (2) until they do?

Samsung is casting a long shadow over this year's Mobile World Congress (3). The
technology industry get-together in Barcelona (4) is set to be dominated (5) by the
launch of its Galaxy S9 and S9+ handsets. The reaction from many rivals - including
Huawei, HTC and LG (6) - appears to have been to hold off (7) their own flagship
launches until later in the year. (8)

Based on "leaks", the S9 looks to be another rectangular, rigid product with an almost-
all glass front and sleek metal back. Samsung's own teaser campaign has centred on its
camera's capabilities rather than a radical form (9). Of the few other new phones
expected, speculation has focused on how many lenses they will feature, where their
fingerprint sensors will be placed, (10) their display dimensions and whether they will
retain a headphone jack, rather than any expectation of a major leap forward.
