Samsung Galaxy X is the much-rumored smartphone from the company which will feature a foldable body. Though the smartphone still isn’t official, but that status is expected to change in 2019. The handset will employ foldable display panels. The phone will go into mass production this summer, if there aren’t any technical issues.

Previously, in January at the CES 2018 show, the company’s CEO DJ Koh had provided some info on the project., In an interview after unveiling the hot new Galaxy S9 series smartphones, the executive had told reporters that Samsung was working to ensure that the foldable handset isn’t just a gimmick. “I need complete confidence that we’re delivering the best user experience when we’re launching a new category,” he was quoted.

The screens will be ready for an early 2019 launch of the phone, but additional components need to be flexible too. Take, for example, the battery. This will be foldable too, according to a new report, and its capacity will be anywhere between 3000 mAh and 6000 mAh. We’re obviously hoping for as high a number as possible, given the massive screen the Galaxy X will have: 7.3″ when opened, and 4.5″ when folded.

This amazing battery was developed by Samsung SDI, and it has a V shape. Chances are that the Galaxy X may arrive alongside the Galaxy S10, but don’t expect it to be anything other than a niche offering at first. It’s expected to have a price to match, at around $1850. Still, the folding phone future is much closer now than it’s ever been.
