Samsung will launch as many as FIVE new Galaxy flagships in 2017. Well folks this could be it - 2017 may well be the year we first see a smartphone with a truly flexible OLED display, and not just in the "its a bit bendy" LG G Flex style either.

Nope, according to some very robust rumours out of Asia Samsung will release a new Galaxy-branded smartphone flagship next year which will be fully foldable, just like the old flip-phones of the 90s, except itll fold right down the middle of the touch display with no impact on image quality. This handset, its alleged, will be one of FIVE flagship smartphones Samsung plans to launch inside 2017, and itll be dubbed the Samsung Galaxy X if the tipster sources prove correct.

The word comes via often reliable source of accurate Samsung details - SamMobile - a site with plenty of insiders lurking within Samsung itself, inside its home nation of Korea. The word emerged on May 13, with a report stating that the firm, following up on its incredible performance in Q1 2016 with the Galaxy S7 series, will push out a grand total of FIVE Galaxy flagship models in 2017. In addition, the report claims that amongst the devices will be a new model dubbed the Samsung Galaxy X, which will utilise the firms flexible Super AMOLED technology, but unlike the Galaxy S7 edge with a fixed curved screen it will be the first folding smartphone with a truly flexible OLED setup.

As of May 25 we now have some more evidence that Samsung is gearing up for the Galaxy X next year. The firm has exhibited its flexible Super AMOLED technology at the SID 2016 expo, a dedicated display industry conference in San Francisco, and its clear that this prototype is in a much more advanced state than any weve seen before - it almost looks production ready.
