Samsung Galaxy X: Samsung’s first foldable phone

Rumours of a mysterious foldable smartphone called the Samsung Galaxy X are circulating. But what is it? Is it even real? When might you be able to buy it? To all these questions you have come to the very right place.

The most recent rumors refer to a device known as the Samsung Galaxy X, although details are still thin on the ground. The working theory is that Samsung has finally managed to manufacture a foldable phone display, and is working on prototype devices to unveil later in 2017.

The story of the Samsung Galaxy X goes back years, so read on for a full account of Samsung’s efforts in the foldable phone space.

Here’s a quick breakdown of Galaxy X news and rumours:

Samsung Galaxy X Release Date:
Recently some of the rumours suggest that Samsung's foldable handset will be ready by the end of 2017, and that prototypes are already well into development. However, there’s no firm release date for the supposed Galaxy X smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy X Design and Specs:
The main rumour is that the phone will fold in some way, potentially using a flexible OLED panel and some kind of segmented design. This design could allow the handset to switch between smartphone and tablet form factors,which Sammy has unveiled earlier in an event showcasing the massive potential of their flexible AMOLED screens and perhaps even a wearable option, too. As far as specs go, rumours are thin on the ground.

Samsung Galaxy X Price: As confirmed by Sammy that they are gonna to produce their galaxy X in a very limited quantity, it’s likely that the phone would be expensive. That’s almost certainly guaranteed given the likelihood of increased hardware costs, plus the fact that the recently launched Galaxy S8 starts from £689 in the UK. Of course, we’re not even sure the Galaxy X phone exists at this point, so speculating on price is very difficult at this stage.
