We know that Samsung has been working for years to get a smartphone with a folding screen. A few months ago we told you about the possibility of Samsung marketing a phone with a folding screen in 2016. And it seems that the code name for this phone is Project V or Project Valley.
The source of this leak is nothing more and nothing less than the guys from Sammobile, one of the benchmarks in the sector regarding everything related to the Korean manufacturer and used to offering us leaks that have finally been fulfilled. And they have not only talked about the existence of this project, also They have confirmed the presentation date and the markets to which this Samsung smartphone with a folding screen will arrive.
Project V will be presented in January
A few days ago Samsung introduced Stripe and Band, two flexible battery prototypes oriented to be used in the next wearables of the Asian giant. And considering that it would be the type of battery that a folding phone would need, in addition to the fact that less than a year ago Samsung patented the design of a folding screenIt seems that Project V is starting to be more than just a rumor.
The name of Project V is a play on words between Valle and the main feature of this phone, the ability to fold its screen like a book. Yes indeed, Samsung is not going to gamble with a worldwide launch. This enigmatic phone will reach the following markets.
- United Kingdom
- Ireland
- Germany
- South Korea
- Nordic countries
- Italy
- Poland
- France
Obviously Samsung has not confirmed anything and for now it must be taken as a rumor, but if this phone exists and is finally presented, Samsung would become the first manufacturer to introduce a foldable phone.
It is expected that Samsung presents its new phone in January 2016, so it could reach the market as of March. Samsung has usually used the Mobile World Center, which is held every year in the city of Barcelona during the last week of February, to present its new flagships, but given the importance of this phone, it would be logical for them to advance their presentation to the month January.
First we have the CES, the largest technology fair held every year in the city of Las Vegas (USA) from January 6 to 9, where every year the main manufacturers have shown their advances in folding screens. Without a doubt the best place to present the first folding screen phone.
What do you think? ¿Do you think that Project V really exists and that Samsung will present the first phone with a folding screen in January?
