Samsung Galaxy X Foldable Phone Confirmed Accidentally?
After several months of rumors and speculations, Samsung may have inadvertently confirmed one of its upcoming phones.
According to a report from Independent, the Korean tech giant accidentally confirmed the Galaxy X by publishing a support page for the product. The device, which offers flexibility through its foldable nature, was seen by MobielKopen in a page on Samsungs' official website.

As for Samsung's upcoming flagship smartphone for 2018, Forbes reported that the Galaxy S9 will likely feature similar key elements found on the Galaxy S8. Leaked CAD drawings that were alleged to be of the Galaxy S9 showed the device retaining its near bezel-free design and a physical Home button gone. Moreover, the fingerprint sensor will likely be placed at the back, specifically right below the camera.
The camera, on the other hand, will feature a dual lens setup patterned after the lens/sensor setup of the Galaxy Note 8. Other features that are expected in the next flagship smartphone include the Bixby button and the Infinity Display, which is the main highlight of the Galaxy S8 and S9+.
