The idea of foldable and flexible smartphone screen from Samsung is nothing new. We’ve been hearing rumors about the technology for a while, though we’ve yet to see an actual product utilizing the technology. This might be changing beginning next year with the introduction of the Samsung GT-B9150.

So what is the GT-B9150? It is a 5.3-inch sAMOLED HD Dual display device that runs Android and will likely officially be called the “Samsung Galaxy Q”. The rumor mill suggest it will run on an EXYNOS 5250 processor and will have 2GB of RAM. Other specs are believed to be an 8MP back cam, a 2MP front cam, NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a 3500mAh battery.

If this proves to be true, this could be huge news. We’ve heard about flexible foldable displays for a long time but we have to realize the dream, yet. What’s the big deal? Basically you get a smartphone when you need it and a tablet when you need more screen real-estate.

Would you consider a flexible phone or not? Do you think it will come out in early 2013 or will yet another delay keep the technology out of public hands?

It’s still a rumored device for now, but this Android 2.2 phone sounds like it could seriously be a hot one. For starters, you get a 3.0-inch Super AMOLED multi-touch display to go with the full QWERTY keyboard and optical touchpad. Some people are saying that this lends itself to a slider, but a BlackBerry-esque bar phone could very well be possible too. Remember the Samsung Epix? Maybe like that, but so much newer and nicer.

That three-inch display has a great 720×480 pixel resolution and it’s getting mated with a snappy 1GHz Hummingbird processor, 8.0 megapixel camera with LED flash and HD video, secondary 1.3MP camera for video calls, Bluetooth 3.0, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, aGPS, mini-HDMI, microSD slot, and 16GB of internal memory.

That’s the good news. The bad news, for people on this side of the pond is that the 3G (HSDPA 7.2, HSUPA 5.76) doesn’t look like it’s compatible with our networks: 900/1900/2100 MHz. That makes it sound like the Galaxy Q is set for Europe, unless they offer a NAM version too.
