Samsung Galaxy X could be powered by massive FOLDABLE battery but may come at a cost
Samsung The report insists the battery will be between 3,000mAh and 6,000mAh in capacity
The Galaxy X, a much rumoured and highly anticipated smartphone that was teased by the South Korean tech giant back in 2013, could pack a huge battery to power its flexible screen. A new report from ITHome stated industry sources familiar with the device claim the Galaxy X will be powered by a futuristic foldable battery. Samsung SDI, the tech firm's battery manufacturing arm, is understood to be putting together the flexible power source. The report insists the battery will be between 3,000mAh and 6,000mAh in capacity.
Samsung SDI put together a foldable battery four years ago but was not big enough to power a smartphone. The battery only featured a 210mAh capacity. In comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ are powered by 3000mAh and 3500mAh batteries respectively. Rumours are pointing to a February 2019 release for the Galaxy X with some insiders claiming the hardware will be announced this year.

Samsung has made no secret of showing off flexible OLED displays that will be biggest differentiating factor between the Galaxy X and all other smartphones on the market. Reports indicate the Galaxy X could feature a 7.3inch screen when it is unfolded and a 4.5inch when folded. The cutting-edge technology crammed inside the futuristic flagship are set to bring an incredibly high price when it releases.
Kim Jang-yeol, the head of research at Golden Bridge Investment, shockingly said the device could be priced as high as 2 million won (£1,365). Such an enormous price tag would make the iPhone X look like a bargain. Apple's flagship is priced at £999 for the 64GB model.
