According to recent reports, Samsung will be revealing its long-rumored successors of the Galaxy S7 and the ill-fated Note 7 this 2017. More so, the South Korean handset maker is reportedly working hard on a line of foldable flagship-grade devices currently dubbed as the Galaxy X.
There is not much information about the top-secret Galaxy X. However, the rumor mill has been growing with a lot of speculations about the foldable flagship device. The Galaxy X is expected to be Samsung's most daring smartphone over the years.
With this, GSM Arena details that Samsung has officially trademarked the Galaxy X name. There will supposedly be several handsets that will be hitting the store shelves under the obscure Galaxy X line -- the SM-X9000 Galaxy X1 and the SM-X9050 X1+. If this is realized, then the Galaxy X will be available with two configurations such as a basic variant and a larger phablet-sized variant of the regular one.
Given that smartphones that can transform into tablets are not too unlikely, the Galaxy X may possibly not arrive for at least several more years. It is just safe to say that the Galaxy X would be a one-of-a-kind smartphone, as of the moment.
Samsung Galaxy X Release Date, Specifications & Features
According to KnowYourMobile, the Samsung Galaxy X smartphone is expected to feature specs that highly resemble the company's top-tier devices. The Galaxy X is expected to sport Super AMOLED display, particularly considering that Samsung has already revealed its foldable AMOLED panels.
Furthermore, the Galaxy X's foldable display is expected to split in the middle with the help of a hinge. The hinge makes it possible for the device to fold just like the clamshell mobile phones from the past. The Galaxy X smartphone is said to be packed with the best Samsung could offer, which means that the promising phone could arrive having internals identical to the forthcoming Galaxy S8.
The Galaxy X is said to be powered by either a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC or the company's own Exynos 8995 processor. These processors are most likely to be coupled with a colossal memory, roughly between 4GB and 6GB of RAM.
For Samsung Galaxy X optics, it is expected to be equipped with great-quality mobile cameras. Given that even Samsung's midrange devices sport capable sensors, the rumored Galaxy X would highly possibly come with an overwhelming camera setup as well. Meanwhile, there isn't any official announcement about the Galaxy X. Despite this, there's hearsay that the device could hit the store shelves either in Q3 or Q4 this 2017.
