There has been a lot of rumors recently about the work of the company # Samsung Korean giant on a new smartphone folding named Galaxy X.
Some initially thought it was just an idea and it was talking about science fiction, but as the phone approached, it became more realistic as the new phone was expected to be released this year.
According to the Business Insider website, it is possible that the expected phone will come with some of these new features:
Many speculated that a collapsible smartphone would give users a much larger display option. Many Samsung patents indicate that the device will open and close inside, such as a book, or horizontally, like a notepad, and the screen can be divided into two paintings showing different things or one large picture.
Screen Protector - Screen Protector
The in-built smartphone can act as a screen protector for its own, depending on the material in the outer layer.
It can be larger than most modern smartphones
Most smartphone manufacturers spent years to make the devices thinner and lighter, but the folding smartphone is likely to be heavier and larger.
One notable example is the ZTE Axon M, which was marketed as the first folding smartphone. The machine, made of two screens attached by a mechanical joint, is much thicker than the Samsung Galaxy S8.
Currently, it is not clear how the thickness of the new folding device, but in terms of weight, this device may be closer to the weight of a tablet device and not a mobile phone.
Is likely to be expensive
New display technologies tend to make smartphones more expensive. It is unclear how much the new Samsung folding phone will cost, but it is likely to be more expensive than the $ 8 note Note 8.
A set of problems that are unpredictable
New technologies always carry problems that do not become apparent until the product is on the market and in the hands of millions of people.
For example, a screen error can occur that can be folded in the middle. But what is certain is that if problems arise in the phone, people will have no problem expressing their opinions.
Curved design
For the Galaxy X, Samsung is likely to get rid of its distinctive curved design and the features of the corresponding front panel software - it is unlikely to be a folding device with curved edges.
The collapsible phone can host more applications on the home screen and improve multi-tasking between applications.
Availability is very limited
Samsung can release its collapsible smartphone as a market prototype with limited availability, using it as a test of future products that have a better chance of dazzling consumers.
Samsung has done this in the past when it released the Samsung Galaxy phone in 2013. The device was Samsung's first attempt with a curved screen, but it was exclusive to the choice of Asian markets.
The following year, as a follow-up to Galaxy's tour, Samsung released the Notte phones, which have one curved edge on the right side. The schema was to release curved monitors later on in the market.
If Samsung can take a similar route with a collapsible Galaxy X smartphone, its availability can also be limited to some Asian markets, such as Korea or China. But if the device is not received well, it can eventually be easily forgotten.
