Samsung S10 Launch Billboards Suggest Galaxy Fold Will Launch In February

Samsung is bracing up for the launch of the highly anticipated foldable phone, allegedly called the Galaxy F or Galaxy Fold. Past reports claimed that the revolutionary device will launch in Q1 of 2019 and lately put up billboards by the company in Paris indicate its launch is about to happen.

Covert Billboards

To pay homage to a decade full of smartphone innovations, Samsung has put up a set of billboards on Paris’s famous landmark, Place de la Concorde. The massive billboards have messages written in the Korean language which when translated to English exhibit interesting details. The billboards read “The future unfolds” and “February twentieth” which is self-explanatory that the foldable device might launch on 20 February.

This is the same time when Samsung is expected to schedule the Galaxy Unpacked 2019 event. Hence, along with the Galaxy Fold, the company might also launch the highly awaited Samsung Galaxy S10 trio.

Samsung Galaxy F Features

Apparently, the highlighting feature of the Samsung Galaxy Fold will be its 7.3-inch foldable display. In addition to the large foldable display, it will also feature a smaller 4.6 display that will be used to operate the phone when in the folded state.

A latest leak hinted that the Samsung foldable phone will have dual batteries which will each have a capacity of 3,100 mAh. The company might kit the Galaxy F with the latest Snapdragon 855 SoC or its own Exynos 9820 depending on the region. Other details like the camera resolution and connectivity options will only be revealed at the time of its launch.

The product will not merely be a gimmick product giving an indication that it will be available to the masses. Reports say that the Galaxy F will be available internationally. Samsung had teased a flexible OLED display at CES 2013. Subsequently a phone called Galaxy Round saw its launch. It has been 5 years since that and it seems the foldable display and foldable phones are now a reality. Every smartphone is aiming f0r a larger screen and if Samsung is able to pull something like this off, it might mean a major shift in the industry.

What this means for the industry

While Samsung has not released any details regarding the tablet/ smartphone, the foldable phones will finally allow phones to have screens larger than 6.5 inches. ZTE had experimented with foldable smartphones in 2017 with their Axon M. However, the market did not receive it well. Samsung previously has been called out for its big screens when they first launched the Galaxy phones. But they became a new benchmark in the phone industry with time. It will be interesting to see how and if the new foldable displays turn out to be a pathfinder in this regard.
