Forget Galaxy S9 - Samsung Galaxy X Confirmed.

The Samsung Galaxy X: A Revolutionary New Approach to Smartphone Design

In 2018, DJ Koh, the president of Samsung Mobile, confirmed that the company is working on a new type of smartphone that can fold. This device, which is codenamed "Galaxy X," aims to bring together the best features of both phones and tablets in one device. The idea behind this design is to create a phone that can seamlessly transition from a compact, pocketable device to a larger, more immersive tablet-like experience.

The design of the Galaxy X is curved, with a unique foldable display that allows users to switch between two states: a folded state and an open state. This technology has been years in development, and Samsung's engineers have created what is essentially an artificial muscle - a set of interlocking tiles that can pull components together when the display is folded, keeping them connected and secure.

The latest rumors suggest that the Galaxy X will come with a 5-inch display size, which may seem small compared to other smartphones on the market. However, the idea behind this design is that the device will fold out to reveal a larger 7-inch screen, providing users with an immersive experience when watching videos or browsing the web. When not in use, the phone can be folded back up and slipped into a pocket, making it easy to carry around.

One potential benefit of this design is that it allows users to have the best features of both phones and tablets. The phone's compact size makes it easy to carry around, while the larger display provides a more immersive experience when needed. This could be particularly useful for productivity, entertainment, or social media use.

However, there are also some potential drawbacks to consider. For one, if the Galaxy X has a 7-inch screen, it may end up being slightly thicker than traditional smartphones. The rumored 4K display and flexible technology may also make the device feel less premium in certain situations. Additionally, Samsung's decision to use a plastic display instead of glass may raise concerns about durability and longevity.

Another factor to consider is that the Galaxy X will likely be released in limited quantities. Samsung plans to test the waters by releasing only 100,000 units across nine countries, which is a relatively small production run compared to their usual smartphone releases. This approach allows the company to gauge demand and ensure that they can meet customer expectations before deciding whether or not to mass-produce the device.

Despite these potential drawbacks, the Samsung Galaxy X represents an exciting new direction for smartphone design. By combining the best features of both phones and tablets in one device, Samsung is pushing the boundaries of what we thought was possible with mobile technology. While it's impossible to predict exactly how consumers will react to this innovative design, one thing is certain: the Galaxy X is sure to generate a lot of buzz when it launches.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enright if you thought these Samsung Galaxy S nine was an interesting concept you're gonna want to stick around for this one the Samsung Galaxy X aka the foldable smartphone is confirmed this is everything you need to know so back in 2011 Samsung which has been at the very forefront of the flexible display technology introduced its first bendable AMOLED display which was revolutionary people were really impress this was the first time a screen could be unfolded and folded without leaving a permanent crease there the only problem was it was a little bit awkward to bend and also you'd notice after doing it many many times the brightness along the crease would actually fall everything then went pretty quiet until early 2013 when at CES samsung announces his partnership with um-- dis plays and it shows off its first fully bendable display and this was far better it was very very flexible to bend but unfortunately it wasn't integrating a touchscreen interface this was really just a tech demo but actually got people very excited unfortunately the tech was far from ready and as you can imagine from building a touchscreen flexible device there are a lot of hurdles to overcome first of all it's got to be thin enough to fold I mean you imagine a piece of paper as you make that paper thicker and thicker it becomes harder to do so it's got to be thick enough to have all the components inside obviously the company can't afford to develop proprietary components to fill the entire of the phone so they've got to use standard mobile phone parts but at the same time allow them to bend now even once you've done that it's hardly game over because you also need to make it so that no matter where in the phone you bend it none of the parts are going to get displaced and none of the connections removed it's a tricky task now you'll probably notice that since this event in 2013 whilst we haven't seen any smart phones with flexible displays our search we have seen some which have curved displays and Samsung kicked things off for the galaxy round which was a very interesting phone it looks completely unlike any smart phone you see today and the idea of advice was is that the curve in the display and the back of the phone would allow it to fit more ergonomically in the palm of your hand and against your leg in your jean pocket and this curved design whether people really liked it or not was a great step in the right direction now 2018 2018 is when DJ code the president of Samsung Mobile has now confirmed we're gonna see the Galaxy X or at least as the current goal on top of that since then in the Korean market the phone has actually been fully certified which means that they've now reached somewhat of a final design model he also interestingly said that when the Galaxy X which is just a code name right now release says it is going to be under the Samsung Galaxy Note brand which potentially implies that has got an S Pen - what are we actually expecting to see or to make one thing clear this isn't going to be a flexible phone this isn't going to be like those displays Samsung showed off in 2013 with the entire furnace bendable what this is though is a device that can be folded so there's essentially going to be two states to the device a folded state and an open state and what Samsung have done to make this possible is really really smart through years and years of innovation they've now created what is essentially an artificial muscle is a set of interlocking tiles which essentially pull the components every time the display is folded so that they actually move with the display so compared to each other they don't actually move at all so they can still remain connected as they were when the phone is flat now the latest rumors are suggesting the phone is going to come in a 5-inch display size which seems a little bit contradictory to the fact that it is a note smartphone but the idea is is that it will fold out to a seven-inch tablet but the real question here something we haven't answered yet is why do you want it why do you want a smartphone that folds up there are two potential benefits first of all it means that you can have something which is in a phones form factor and then when you fold it out you've got a slightly larger screen for more immersive content and then when you want to use as a phone you fold it back up again and you slip it into your pocket so long story short you get the benefits of a tablet in the form factor of a phone now to be honest in theory this sounds fantastic this sounds like everything we've wanted for the future of mobile devices but I think it's got a couple of potential holes in it first of all if you've got a tablet screen which you then forward to become a phone that's gonna mean whatever you're saving in the length of the phone you're losing in the width because essentially you've got two layers folded over each other so next year when you're picking between your Galaxy S 9 or your Galaxy X you'll be faced with a smartphone that is either about seven millimeters thin or one that could be up to 14 on top of that this rumored seven-inch tablet mode display size is good I mean it's a size up from pretty much any conventional smartphone we've seen in the past but the question is is it enough of a size difference is it enough of an increase from say the Galaxy Note 8 6.3 inch display to justify this entirely new flexible display technology is it enough to justify potentially a 2 to 300 higher dollar price tag I'm not really sure now the real cherry on top of that is the fact that a lot of rumours are stating a 4k display on the galaxy X the latest model Samsung released of its flexible technology only had a tank TP screen so the chances of us seeing a flexible 4k display I think are pretty low in 2018 because also to then the phone is gonna have to use a plastic display as opposed to conventional glass there's also a chance that it's going to feel a little bit less premium when you're using it so I'm not trying to say this is a terrible idea and it's gonna completely suck when it launches but I do think that it's not gonna be without compromise one thing we do know is that when this phone does launch its gonna release in very limited quantities the current rumors are suggesting a hundred thousand units split between nine countries and the idea here is that Samsung is going to test the waters because this is a niche and almost completely new category of products it's got no idea how much demand is going to be also there they've got to make sure to protect their own smartphones if they suddenly released two million units onto the market all of a sudden they might find they're damaging their own sales or the Galaxy S nine which they don't want to do so guys that is the Samsung Galaxy X and whilst it is a very exciting prospect which could potentially spell out the next generation of smartphones unfortunately I think most people will look from a distance and stick with their conventional smartphones Furley stack up ulm or years thanks for watching I missed you as a
