Rumour has it that Samsung, the world’s biggest smartphone manufacturer, is testing a product which could have all the answers: a touchscreen smartphone with a foldable display. The rumored device could come in two models with 3GB of RAM, a microSD card slot and a non-removable battery; the only difference would be the processor, which could be a Qualcomm Snapdragon 620 and an 820 chip.

It has only been a couple of months since Samsung launched the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge but it seems the company is already working on their predecessors.
Earlier this year a Samsung official announced that the company is building a bendable phone think a flip phone with one continuous screen that covers the insides of both halves. It looks like they’re keeping that promise as insiders close to the matter have come forward saying that the first foldable phone would be released in January 2016 by Samsung. Nonetheless, the rumor mill has started spinning and more and more fans of the company are getting excited about the prospect of a truly versatile foldable phone.
Typically, Samsung launches its next flagship Galaxy device around March or April, like the Samsung Galaxy S4, S5 and S6.
Some reports originating from South Korea also claim that the Galaxy S7 will have two versions.
The Galaxy S7 is probably still just a prototype deep inside Samsung’s offices, but that hasn’t stopped the rumors from leaking out.
Samsung is one of the current top brands of mobile phones.

In addition to its massive storage capacity, the Galaxy 7 will reportedly likely include a dual-camera module which was featured also by Samsung’s rivals such as HTC One M8 and ZTE Axon. Its a little too early to comment on any progress right now, since both the chipsets do appear to not be running at full capacities.
