Earlier this week, we came across a patent that Samsung had submitted way back in February that detailed the folding mechanism of a device that would have a flexible display. That’s reignited talk of Samsung releasing a foldable device sometime in the near future, and the latest rumour suggests that this foldable Project Valley device could be coming out as soon as January – for those who can’t remember, Project Valley is the appropriately named Samsung project for a foldable device.
That’s not all that today’s rumour has divulged – according to the source, Samsung is actually testing two variants of the device, one running a Snapdragon 620 and the other running the more powerful Snapdragon 820. Other rumoured specs include 3GB RAM, a non-removeable battery and a microSD slot, but it will be most interesting to see how big the display will be, and what we’re going to start calling these devices – is it a folding tablet, or is it a folding smartphone? That aside, it looks like we have a few more months to wait, though it’s unlikely this will be last time we hear about Project Valley before 2016.
