Foldable phones, not to be confused with the previous flip phones, have always been the supposed future of today's smartphones. This is especially true for the mobile tech giant, Samsung. As seen at the CES 2018, which ended just a week ago, the South Korean company shared to a select audience the latest "Samsung Galaxy X" with a foldable touch screen.
Although no official photos were released from the event about the new phone, for obvious reasons, some fans were able to create some renders of what the phone may look like. These have since been shared online so that other people can imagine how the Samsung phone would work and feel like while being foldable.
The new "Samsung Galaxy X" will allegedly have a 7.3-inch display. That is a pretty big phone, and that obviously would not fit in the pocket. This is exactly where Samsung's foldable phone comes in, as it will be easier to place in people's pocket once folded. It even has a "fold life" of about 200,000 folds, which is quite impressive if it will be launched as the world's first foldable phone.
While the idea of a foldable phone can be quite appealing to many, fans can already anticipate what the problems may be. Similar to the flip phones, the most common problem they get is the wires and parts getting too bent on the inside. Although Samsung may have already anticipated this, there is still the doubt for the "Samsung Galaxy X."
In the first place, some people are still skeptical about a bendable phone being released. According to Mirror.co.uk, Samsung's president of mobile business, Koh Dong-jin, had previously hinted at releasing a smartphone with bendable display in 2018. However, he also acknowledged the problems they will first have to overcome.
For now, it seems like Samsung has gone over those problems. Many speculate that it should come out late this year or at the latest, early 2019.
