Samsung Galaxy "X"

[SHIVA77]

I looked for a Galaxy X forum and didn't find it. So am starting a thread on my current phone's Note Edge forum.

I think the upcoming Samsung Galaxy X, folding phone could be my next phone.
Keep in mind that the info about this phone is sketchy and the image that I attached below can't be trusted as the final or even real.
Frankly the phone when folded seems too thick, I think Samsung Galaxy X folding phone will fold flat, unless they plan to make two versions of it.


Some of the info on this new phone suggest that the phone folds with the screens out like this image.



Basically this could be one of the hottest new elite phones. By elite phone, I mean low production, experimental and expensive (like our Note Edge).

What do you guys think?

I'll move this to the Rumored Devices Lounge.

I think it's great that phones like this are potentially being built and experimented with, but I'm not that fussed on it right now. For me the only thing it adds, is portability. Maybe if i was given a real life example of when this foldable screen would really benefit me over the 'standard' phone then i would be more excited for it.

Damn are they really working on this? It seems more like a patent they file 'just in case' rather than it being something they're going to imminently release. What would be the point in it?

The Point: This one is a ~5.7" phone that opens to a seamless 7"+ tablet. Apparently LG and Apple are working on it too.

Frankly I think that it's near worthless as an actual phone at this time. Maybe in a few years when technology and material science has advanced considerably. At the moment, I can't see any potential use for this as a consumer product. Military? I can definitely see a use if weight and thickness can be kept low [as low as possible] but durability high [as high as possible]. I also don't seem how they can overcome the problem of having a flexible screen and possibly flexible electronic components that can withstand years of being folded and opened.
