Samsung’s bendable smartphone have been doing rounds in the rumour mill for quite some time now. And if the latest reports are to be believed, we might not have to wait much longer before the long-rumoured smartphone sees the light of day.

Samsung plans to showcase the smartphone, which is rumoured to be named Galaxy X, in January at CES, according to a report in Yahoo News.

The report comes after a company support page for the product surfaced on Samsung's website. It was first spotted by Dutch site Mobilekopen, the support shows a smartphone model number that's previously been linked to the Galaxy X.

Company’s president of mobile business Koh Dong-jin previously confirmed to media that the company will launch a bendable smartphone sometime in 2018, according to Yahoo.

How the final product will shape up is yet to be discovered, but we still have an idea how it could work, thanks to patent images that surfaced in October by the Korean Patent Office.

The images show a smartphone with a hinge in the centre of the phone that enables user to fold the device in half, similar to a flip phone.

It’s not clear whether the final product will look like the patent images, of course, but the good news is we won’t have to wait longer for the device to arrive.
