Samsung's folding 'Galaxy X' handset on sale 'next year'

Samsung's first folding phone is set to enter production this year and go on sale in 2019, it has been claimed. The radical gadget, expected to be called the Galaxy X, will have a 7.3-inch flexible OLED screen which folds inwards like a book. When folded, it will work as a phone, and can be unfolded to operate as a tablet. According to Korean site ETNews, Samsung will develop the foldable displays by March, manufacture panels in September and start manufacturing the phone itself in November. This would mean the handset could go on sale in early 2019.
