Duncan Bell Is Foldable

Samsung’s folding Galaxy X phone is a classic slab of futuristic tech that nobody asked for

There’s one really great thing about working online – apart from getting the benefit of the wit and wisdom of the Twitter intelligensia, of course.

That is, you know exactly how many people read any given story, and as a result have a very good idea of what people really like.

For all I know, this page of the mag might be read by two people, both of whom hate me. But on a website such as the award-winning T3.com, you can immediately see, “Oh, five bajillion people read this story; this one… 11 people. Hmm.”

As a result, I can say for a fact that tech fans are absolutely nutsoid for the Samsung Galaxy X, aka Samsung’s folding phone.

If you’re not familiar with it, the Galaxy X is (or will be) a phone that seamlessly folds out into something more like a tablet. By ‘seamlessly’ I mean, ‘there isn’t a bloody great hinge down the middle like a Nintendo Game & Watch’ – the screen itself folds.

Certainly, Galaxy X is an interesting idea, but that’s not the reason that ‘the internet is going crazy over this’ (as they say). It’s because it doesn’t exist. Well, not yet anyway.
