What will Next Galaxy S phone be called?
Well, there are lots of rumors burning over the internet as per the next Galaxy Phone name is concerned “Is Galaxy X will be next Galaxy S10?”.
In this MWC 2018 conference, we have heard a lot about Galaxy X from Samsung Boss. As per him, rather being first to launch a foldable Smartphone into the market, Samsung will focus on durability and stability of it. That means Samsung right on to the path of launching a foldable smartphone in future. However, the name isn’t confirmed yet.
What is Samsung Galaxy X?
The foldable smartphone isn’t to Samsung. In 2011, Samsung came up with a foldable smartphone prototype. A bunch of concept videos also came out that time, like a fully transparent display that can be bendable as well which clearly shows Samsung’s ambitions for foldable technology. However, later they got many production issues and the project got delayed. In 2013, the company has launched Galaxy Round followed by Galaxy Note Edge, both phones aren’t close to foldable but have round edges that have given new hight to Samsung in the smartphone market. Later they have substantially improved these edges and we got Galaxy S7 Edge in 2016. But still, it is not even close to foldable display phablet.
In mid-2015, Samsung has codenamed it to Project Vally – a device that can be bend (can be folded) and supposed to come in both high and mid-range. Later a report predicted Samsung can launch it by early 2016 but unfortunately we have seen that too.
In May-2016, the Project Vally got the new name as Samsung Galaxy X. As per reports, it is going to feature a 4k resolution foldable display that means we will have really high resolution even when its bend / folded. The device was supposed to launch in 2017, and now we are in 2018 and still, there is no sign of it.
Now we think its time for Samsung to take a step further and launch one of most anticipated smartphone technology with its upcoming Samsung GalaxyX flagship.
