We
have been hearing rumors about a Samsung foldable smartphone in the works for
more than two years now, with the company showing off several models of folding displays as well.
The
South Korean tech giant in the meantime has released Galaxy smartphones with
curved edge displays. If a new leak is to be considered, we might finally able
to see a foldable Samsung smartphone in January - with the company reportedly
already testing the smartphone. Samsung's mysterious Galaxy View smartphone has
been certified by the Bluetooth SIG claiming it's a tablet.
According
to a tipster from China, Samsung's foldable
smartphone has been codenamed Project Valley and is being tested with two
different chipsets - Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 and Snapdragon 620. Other details
tipped by the tipster claim that the handset will sports 3GB of RAM; come with
an embedded battery, and will come with expandable storage.
It's
worth noting that a previous report had claimed that Samsung was testing the unannounced
Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset
'aggressively'. The test results were said to determine if the chipset would be
supported in next year's flagship models
or not.
In
other news, Samsung's mysterious Galaxy View device which was teased during its IFA event and expected to the oft-leaked
18.4-inch tablet from the company has supposedly been certified by Bluetooth SIG with model name SM-T670. The Bluetooth
SIG details of the tablet doesn't tell many things; except that the Bluetooth
version will be 4.1.
To
recall, Samsung just as it did at the Galaxy Unpacked event last month,
bothered a new upcoming product at the end of the IFA show - what appeared to
be a large tablet. Dubbed Galaxy View, the teaser was mysterious enough to hide
most details but a kick stand was visible on the back panel. We will have to
wait for Samsung to make the announcement.
