We might see Samsung’s foldable Galaxy X smartphone next month

It might seem like a long shot but a teaser for Samsung’s upcoming developer conference hints at the appearance of the rumoured foldable Galaxy X phone. The South Korean company is drumming up excitement for the press conference by tweeting an animation that shows two lines unfold from a single hinge to form a right facing arrow pointing at the dates of the conference (November 7, 2018). The words “Where Now Meets Next” appear next to it. We won’t be surprised if we do see, at the very least, a prototype of the phone as Samsung’s mobile chief DJ Koh has previously hinted that we would see the phone before the end of the year but it’ll be available in 2019.

Samsung’s foldable phone might get a big curved battery

Samsung hasn’t officially acknowledged its foldable Galaxy X but rumour has it the device will be coming next year and its foldable display panels might be going into mass production this summer—if there aren’t any issues, that is. But, of course, the screen isn’t the only flexible thing in the phone, its other components should be, too. A new report shows what the batteries could look like. It’s supposedly being developed by Samsung SDI and comes in a V shape. Capacity is said to be anywhere between 3,000mAh and 6,000mAh. The expectation or hope is for it to be as high as possible, given that the rumoured device will have a screen that’ll be at 7.3 inches when opened and 4.5 inches when folded. Of course, this could all change but for now, it shows us what we could be getting. Is a foldable phone something you’d want to own?
