The Samsung Galaxy X folding could be equipped with a plastic cover. For this reason, it would still be impossible to produce perfectly flexible glass sheets in series

For a good reason it is possible to produce flexible glass shades, but only with plastic can a perfect curvature of 1.0 R be achieved. According to experts, a glass module with such a curvature could not be produced in series. According to previous information leaks, Samsung rival and compatriot, LG Display, would also prepare a foldable screen for 2018 with a curvature of only 2.5R. Subsequently, the company will propose a screen with curvature 1.0R in 2019.

The main goal of Samsung seems to be that of a pioneer in the market of foldable smartphones, even if this means choosing a plastic screen. For good reason, the company believes that this market will have a large international scale in the next decade, according to one of the sources interviewed by BusinessKorea. In fact, Samsung is very interested in acceleration because it is far from the only manufacturer to make a folding smartphone. Also, the Chinese Huawei has announced for 2018 a folding smartphone. Likewise, manufacturers like LG, OPPO and Lenovo are preparing flexible phones.

The difference to a smartphone like ZTE Axon M would be the total absence of hinges. In terms of technical features, the device will provide performance that is worthy of the Galaxy S-series and the Galaxy Note series. Finally, the Galaxy X will come in early 2018 seriously on the market.
