Samsung‘s foldable phone is coming true!

Back to 2015, at the end of the year, a foldable phone was leaked once under the name Project Valley. Apparently, it was being made by Samsung, consisting of two screens that could be folded, literally, and about to be introduced in January 2016. Well, January passed and saw no foldable phone. And at the time we thought it would just be a concept, the device was mentioned once again.

Speaking more specifically, a latest report from Korea has informed us that Sammy will start mass-producing foldable displays at end of this year. Some of its specifications have also been unveiled. According to the report, the upcoming Samsung’s foldable machine will pack a 5.0-inch screen “in folded form”, and can turn into a 7.0-inch tablet when being un-folded or opened (like what you see in the picture). Interesting, huh?!

Apart from the special display, some other sources even suggest that the firm is testing both Qualcomm Snapdragon 620 and SD 820 chip to run the Project Valley smartphone, while 3 GB of RAM will also be on board to help. So, those are what we’ve got so far. Hopefully more Project Valley specs will be revealed in the next weeks.

Project Valley price and availability

Please note that the handset’s mass production will be conducted in late 2016 and the phone will arrive next year. This will be a truly new step in the mobile market. As for the foldable smartphone price, no word has been made yet, but we predict it can cost around $700. What do you think? Is it a reasonable tag? If not, can you suggest another one?
