The first smartphone from Samsung that might be launched at the next Mobile World Congress which is scheduled to be held in February 2017 just a few months before Apple is scheduled to launch its new iPhone with the OLED display. The smartphone would be shaped like a cosmetic compact which would unfurl to a full sized smartphone. The second device would start off like a regular 5-inch smartphone and once opened would have a display of 8inches, roughly the size of a tablet. The important thing to note here is that the smartphones would not be part of flagship Galaxy S smartphone range. The smartphones are being produced under the code name “Project Valley”.

A new piece of information that has surfaced from this leak is that the next ‘Note’ phablet from the company would be christened as Note 7 instead of Note 6 skipping a generation just to bring it in line with the flagship Galaxy S smartphone range. Since Samsung has refused to comment on this leak when contacted by the media, the information should be taken with a grain of salt. For the meanwhile feast your eyes on a video made by Samsung a few months ago showcasing a concept design of its bendable smartphone.
