Samsung's first opportunity to recover from the Galaxy Note 7 debacle will come with the launch of its new flagship phone, the Galaxy S8, in the spring of 2017.
While we don't know too much about the device, Samsung has announced that it will include a new digital assistant powered by Viv, the artificial intelligence startup Samsung bought earlier this year. Oh, and Viv was founded by the same people who built Siri.
This is a foldable Samsung phone?
Samsung has been working on bendable displays for years, but 2017 could be the first time we actually see it in a phone.
Dutch tech site galaxyclub.nl discovered a patent application filed to the Korean patent office by Samsung, and it appears to show renders of Samsung's long-rumored foldable smartphone, or "Project Valley."
Korean news site The Korea Herald also reported on Wednesday that Samsung will release a foldable smartphone in 2017, which lines up nicely with the discovery of the patent. Check out what we could gather from the images submitted with the patent:The patent shows a device with hinges on the edges and back of the phone that looks similar to the on Microsoft's Surface Book laptops.
The company recently filed a patent for such a device, fueling speculation that it's coming soon.
The future for Samsung's Note phones are uncertain, following the unprecedented recall of the Galaxy Note 7 this year.
There have been some scattered reports that Samsung may abandon the Note altogether in 2017. But if the Note does make its return, then expect to see it in the fall.
