Though most of the recent news for Samsung has been all about the Samsung Galaxy S8, there is possibly another device lurking for release later this year. This is in reference to the Samsung Galaxy X, a foldable phone which could come out by the third quarter of 2017. Word of a potential new member of the Samsung Galaxy clan has been out for quite a while now, believed to be a premium handset which should be interesting.

For those who have been around, it is no secret that Samsung has had its share of offering foldable clamshell devices in the past. With due consideration to the modern day, however, marketing it and mass-producing the said device is another issue that needs to be addressed, Korea Herald reported back in November 2016.

While that task falls at the hands of the Samsung marketing team, the Korean giant may have likely factored that into their goals. Assuming that this is the case, a more recent report from the Korea Herald believes that the Samsung Galaxy X series could become a reality as early as this July. However, this will be more than just a simple phone with claims that it can allegedly transform into a tablet.

The dish traces its roots from the US Patents office which gave Samsung the rights for such. The fold-out phablet will feature a display that folds into a full-sized tablet, something closely similar to what Lenovo demoed last year. On that note, it should be interesting if the Samsung Galaxy X will also be wearable such as the one teased by Lenovo.

A potential release depends on how Samsung progresses with their internal deliberations, Digital Trends reported. Other possible features of the Samsung Galaxy X include seeing them in two variants (X1 and X1 Plus), 4K display, 8GB RAM, fingerprint/iris scanner and face scanner biometric security, running on Android 7.0 Nougat, a dual-camera setup, and ready for AR/VR technologies.
