According to The Bell, local news outlet, Samsung Electronics has renamed its upcoming fold-able smartphone project's name to 'Winner' from 'Valley'. Unnamed industry resources said that Samsung informed suppliers to start supplying some parts of a foldable phone. This might be predicted as that this type of phone will be unveiled next year for Mobile World Congress in February. This fold-able model is named 'Galaxy X'.

Samsung reduced their initial production volume, which is three hundred thousand to five hundred thousand. Compared to Samsung Galaxy S, or Samsung Galaxy Note series, which their production volume is about more than fifty million, fold-able phone's production volume is much lesser from it. It is because Samsung Electronics just wants to see the reaction of the people.

Little changes might be made to the latest prototype, according to some sources' prediction. The original prototype was 3.5 inches OLED screen, which has two screens inside, and one screen outside. This is the situation when folded, and when unfolded, there is 7 inches large screen.

The Bell, which published an article about fold-able phones, also added that the 10th anniversary model with the project name 'Beyond' might be shown at the CES show in January.

Many predictions are being made about this fold-able phone. How much it will be, how will it be released, what will it look like, when is it going to be released. Many people are concentrating on the news of fold-able phone. This is because there has never been publicly used fold-able phone models.
