Het is three years ago that Samsung showed a flexible display prototype and launched an advertising video featuring a folding smartphone. Ever since, a folding Samsung smartphone has been thought of every year. In the meantime, the evidence has been piled up and we believe that this revolutionary smartphone, also known as the Samsung Galaxy X, will soon be officially launched.

Samsung Galaxy X SM-G888

The phone is already called the Samsung Galaxy X. Although, apart from a trademark application, there is no evidence for it, we believe that this will indeed become the name of the folding smartphone. The device is likely to get model number SM-G888.

New certification for the folding smartphone

Earlier this year there were already several pictures of the Galaxy X. And in April, model number SM-G888 received the required WiFi certificate. Last month, a Bluetooth certificate was issued. And just now we have discovered a new certificate, which  can  be seen here.
Yesterday, the Korean Research Institute National Radio Research Agency (NRRA) of the Korea Communications Commission (KCC) approved the device with model number SM-G888N0 (N0 for the Korean market) and issued a license.
When this license pops up, an introduction is usually no longer far away. It could only be the first quarter of next year.
There is one big but probably the folding Samsung smartphone is initially intended for the Korean home market. The certificate does not tell us anything new about the specifications of the Samsung Galaxy X.

Confirmation of Samsung folding smartphone

Just before the introduction of the iPhone X , the CEO of Samsung Mobile, Dongjin Koh, confirmed to launch a folding smartphone next year. For years, Samsung was silent when new rumors emerged, but with the introduction of the iPhone X, the CEO still felt called to confirm the arrival of the new Samsung phone.
As a head of the company, I can say that our goal is to introduce a folding smartphone next year. Once the last problems have been overcome, we will launch the product, said Dongjin Koh , CEO of Samsung Mobile.
By the way, Samsung is not the only one who sees the future in a folding smartphone. Apple, LG and Microsoft have also applied for patents for such a smartphone design.
