Samsung recently showed off a prototype version of its upcoming foldable smartphone concept and now we’ve learned that this unusual device, tentatively named Galaxy F, will launch around March 2019 for nearly $1,800.
As rumored, Samsung has been working on its iPhone killer for quite a number of years. The phone has just reached a prototype stage where they could show it off to the public and demonstrate how the device could run three apps at the same time when opened.
Samsung’s mobile head hinted that the company’s rumored foldable Galaxy device “is not far away”. And when they show it to the world, the firm will be counting on “the delight of customers and the astonishment of the competition”.
Samsung’s latest flagship, the Note 9 phablet, has the best display on a smartphone and that’s not even surprising given its expertise in AMOLED display technology.
Are these ads ingenious? Barely. Are they mean-spirited or sympathetic? Depends on who you ask. Do they tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Uh-uh!
The rumors were right: the new Note doesn’t look too dissimilar from its predecessor. It brings a stronger battery, incremental camera improvements, more storage, a Bluetooth-enabled stylus and other perks.
Samsung has apparently accidentally (or was it “accidentally”?) posted its Galaxy Note 9 promotional video to YouTube ahead of next week’s announcement.
“Does the X have a full-screen design without that notch?,” Samsung asks rhetorically in a new Galaxy ad.
Samsung’s first Note 9 teaser videos hype assumed feature changes like a longer battery life, a faster in-house designed processor and plenty of built-in flash storage.
Samsung’s renewed anti-Apple advertising may have something to do with the fact that it’s allegedly moving up the Note 9 launch because Galaxy S9 has struggled to sell well.
Galaxy S, Samsung’s flagship smartphone series, turns 10 this year and the rumor-mill is predicting a third entry-level model alongside the standard Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10 upgrades, plus some improved camera systems on the flagship device.
The South Korean conglomerate has scheduled the Galaxy Note 9 announcement on Thursday, August 9. The next Note is expected to have a slightly larger screen and battery, an upgraded S-Pen stylus and improved cameras.
