Samsung planing on releasing Galaxy Folder?



We don't know if this is true or not but there are images showing a new Samsung Galaxy phone with a folding form factor. We have to admit we haven't seen one of those in a while. The phone will be having a traditional look but with never hardware and software (android, or maybe tizen?). All in all, this phone looks like and interesting piece.

If we can trust the leaked images, the phone is going to feature two displays. One is going to be on the inside and one on the outside. When you open the device you are going to be greeted with a classic numeric keyboard which most smartphone users have forgotten about. Another cool feature could be the dual sim option. Hardware is going to be standard Samsung, dualcore Snapdragon procesor and 2 GB of RAM.
