Chinese company Royole has presented the world's first foldable smartphone, the FlexiPai, at CES in Las Vegas.

Samsung Electronics might reveal some details on the world’s first foldable smartphone in the pipeline at its developers’ conference in San Francisco in November, according to the industry.

Samsung's project to develop a foldable smartphone -- which could be called the Galaxy X -- has been the subject of many online rumors. This time, the brief appearance of a new reference (SM-G888N0) on the South Korean tech firm's handset support page has ramped up online chatter, and could point to the product's imminent presentation -- possibly at CES 2018 in Las Vegas, January 9-12.
