Even though the Galaxy Fold has yet to hit retail shelves, Samsung is reportedly working on two more foldable phones.

Sources told Bloomberg that one of the foldable phones will adopt a clamshell-like design while the other will fold outwards like the Huawei Mate X. The latter is expected to have an in-display fingerprint sensor and could launch in 2020.

The clamshell-like phone is slated for launch later this year or early 2020, and Samsung is using mock-ups to refine its design. Similar to the Galaxy Fold, it could have an exterior display. Samsung could remove it in the end depending on consumers’ response to the Galaxy Fold.

For the Galaxy Fold, Samsung is said to be considering to offer screen replacements as a crease will appear on the screen after being folded for more than 10,000 times. In the meantime, the company is working to improve the durability of the screen on the Galaxy Fold.
