Samsung Galaxy X Release Date: What is it, and when does it come out?
For years, we’ve heard talk of a foldable smartphone being built by Samsung. But the past few weeks has seen these rumours up in frequency.
The most recent rumours refer to a device known as the Samsung Galaxy X, although details are still thin on the ground. The working theory is that Samsung has finally managed to manufacture a foldable phone display, and is working on prototype devices to unveil later in 2017.
The story of the Samsung Galaxy X goes back years, so read on for a full account of Samsung’s efforts in the foldable phone space.
Alternatively, here’s a quick breakdown of Galaxy X news and rumours:
Samsung Galaxy X Release Date: Recent rumours suggest that foldable handsets built by Samsung will be ready by the end of 2017, and that prototypes are already well into development. However, there’s no firm release date for the supposed Galaxy X smartphone.
Samsung Galaxy X Design and Specs: The main rumour is that the phone will fold in some way, potentially using a flexible OLED panel and some kind of segmented design. This design could allow the handset to switch between smartphone and tablet form factors, and perhaps even a wearable option, too. As far as specs go, rumours are thin on the ground – but we’d expect something akin to what we’ve seen from the Samsung Galaxy S8 in terms of hardware.
Samsung’s concept revealed
Then in December, a video produced by Samsung was posted to YouTube, which depicted a flexible Samsung AMOLED device.
In the video, the device looks just like a thin film of plastic, but it works like a smartphone or tablet, running apps and making video calls. It’s a great example of just how far back Samsung’s foldable phone ambitions stretch. Check it out in the video below.
Samsung Galaxy X History – 2012
Quirky tablet patent
On May 2, 2012, it emerged that Samsung had filed a patent application for a smartphone that could fold out into a tablet configuration.
Rather than a flexible display of the type we saw in the 2011 concept video, this was simply a dual-screen device that was joined by hinge – a little like a Nintendo DS.
The patent depicted the device as shipping with a stylus/pointer that could be removed from the hinge.
Development ongoing
Fast-forward to November and the Wall Street Journal reported that Samsung was building handsets with flexible displays, and that they were “in the last phase of development”.
Devices carrying the displays were tipped to launch in the first half of 2013, and that the flexible screen tech may actually feature in the Samsung Galaxy S4.

The Samsung Galaxy Q?
On February 5, 2013, we heard news that Samsung was plotting a folding display phone called the Samsung Galaxy Q.
This handset was tipped to launch at Barcelona’s MWC 2013 convention later in the month, and would reportedly ship under the model number GT-B9150.
Unfortunately, that model number turned out to actually be referencing the Samsung Galaxy HomeSync personal cloud device (2013), and we didn’t see a foldable phone after all. Boo!
Flexible Note 3
In May that same year, it was reported that three different prototypes of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 were being tested, including one that featured a flexible screen.
SamMobile cited an unnamed Samsung insider; the report confirmed that we may see the Note 3, featuring the bendy screen tech, land at IFA 2013.
We did eventually get a Galaxy Note 3, but there was no folding screen featured – sorry, folks.
Patenting a flexible screen
Later that month, it was discovered that Samsung had filed a patent application for a flexible display.
The display was described as being able to detect the various ways users bend the screen, including the folding angle or curvature. This would allow the flexible display to automatically adjust the image so it would be presented accurately.
Another concept video
In autumn, a video produced by Samsung was uploaded to YouTube, depicting a flexible OLED smartphone-cum-tablet concept.
Check it out:
New range: Galaxy F?
On September 25, 2013, Japanese blog Rbmen detailed how Samsung was supposedly planning a new range of flexible-screened smartphones.
This new series of phones was supposed to be called ‘Galaxy F’, but it turned out to be a dud rumour.
Official confirmation of folding phones
But then, on November 6, 2013, Samsung announced that it would be bringing folding display devices to the market at some point in the future. Unfortunately, that’s pretty much all the detail we heard at the time.

Analysts spin rumours
In early 2014, analysts tipped Samsung as plotting a new range of smartphone form factors, including a new Galaxy handset with a three-sided bent display.
Song Jong-ho, an analyst at Seoul-based KDB Daewoo Securities, said: “The bent smartphones will be rolled out as a Galaxy variant with a few million units at the end of this year, initially taking aim at the nice market.”
He continued: “The bent device is the first step toward testing the market and gauging how it will react to foldable smartphones that are to be unveiled in the second half of next year.”
