Samsung Galaxy X folding smartphone rumoured for release in 2017

According to Korean website ETNews, in a report published in April, Samsung is working on making the Galaxy X into a foldable phone that will offer a 5 inch mobile phone screen which can then be further unfolded into a 7 inch tablet device/display. The tech company is also preparing to launch the much awaited Galaxy Note 6 phablet, which will most likely happen in August. Samsung has yet to launch the Galaxy Note 6 but is expected to arrive in the coming months.

The phone is rumored to be featuring 5.8-inch QHD display with 2,560 x 1,440-pixel resolution and Qualcomm Snapdragon 823 processor. Like usual, Samsung will be updating the Galaxy S series, with the S8 and S8 Edge. Just in case you want to know if your device's update is ready, you can manually check via the phone's Settings About device Software update. This feature will allow users to fold the smartphone to easily put it inside the pocket. We've seen patents filed here and there and some leaked prototypes of what it might look like, but overall, Samsung has been pretty mum about its rumored foldable display smartphones.

Though the company released the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge earlier this year, it is claimed that they're looking to release the next iteration of the flagship device in 2017, along with a new Note 7/Note 7 Edge and the highly anticipated Galaxy X. In 2015, the South Korean company had introduced Galaxy S6 Edge smartphone with dual edge curved screen.

Rumors on the Galaxy S7 Active started surfacing quite a while ago and culminated with the release of a GFXBench benchmark test that was posted online and shed some light on the specs.

We're not even halfway through 2016 at this point, but it's quite possible that we've already see the two hottest ndew Android phones that will debut this year. Samsung is now pegged to raise the competition bar higher by launching Samsung Galaxy X smartphone.

HTC 10 vs Samsung Galaxy S7 / Edge vs LG G5

This year, Samsung and LG were first out of the gate with their respective flagship offerings being showcased back during MWC 2016, and while HTC was a little late to the party, we now have all three high-end offerings to choose from. Each device brings something unique to the table to help distinguish themselves from the other, and we've covered them extensively here at Android Authority with comprehensive reviews, in-depth comparisons, and feature focus articles.

The Samsung Galaxy Note7 (S820) Review

This year has been difficult for smartphones, which is a bit of a paradox when you consider just how much better things have gotten compared to last year. With Snapdragon 820, 650, 652, and 625 we've finally moved past the shadow of the Snapdragon 810, 808, and 617/615. While there were Android devices that shipped with the Exynos 7420, they were often paired with a modem that was not necessarily the most power efficient. Despite all of this, there seems to be a general disappointment with smartphones. People are increasingly finding it hard to justify phones like the HTC 10 or Galaxy S7 with competition from OnePlus, Xiaomi, and even Apple with their iPhone SE. In this context the Galaxy Note7 brings much of the flavor of the Galaxy S7 edge, but blends it with the S-Pen of the Note line and a few new features like the iris scanner. If you were paying attention to the industry with the launch of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note5, it's very much more of the same rather than the m
