Rumors that Samsung is eroticism in pompeii (hardcover) by antonio varonebuilding a phone with a foldable display just got a new wind with a patent application from the company describing exactly that: A smartphone with a bendable part in the middle that can be folded into a phone sandwich.
Called the Galaxy X or Project Valley, the device (or possibly multiple devices) was rumored to be launching as early as this year. As that won't happen, rumors now point to an early 2017 launch.

Let me be honest here: I don't see many advantages of this approach, except perhaps a retro look that sort of reminds us of the flip phone. The patent application does have an image of the phone folded and propped up to let you watch content on the vertical part while you type on the horizontal portion, but it doesn't look particularly ergonomic.

Rumors are one thing, and patent applications are another. But neither offers solid proof that this phone exists or will actually be built. It's nice, however, to see Samsung taking the plunge into unexplored waters.
