Samsung announced its plans to launch a foldable phone in the first half of this year during CES 2019. The rumor mill suggests it could be called the Galaxy F, Galaxy Flex, or Galaxy Fold. The device is expected to go official during the Galaxy Unpacked Event on Feb. 20 in San Francisco. Today, we have a new leak which has tipped at the handset’s release date as well as the price.
According to Italian blog Tutto Android, the Galaxy F is expected to be priced around EUR 2000 (roughly $2272). Now, this falls in line with earlier reports that also indicated Samsung’s foldable phone will be priced in the range of $1500-$2000. Besides, the rumor mill also suggests it’ll cost higher than the regular versions of the Galaxy S10. Not to mention, a Samsung exec also stated last week that the foldable phone could cost twice as much as any flagship phone.
Besides, Tutto Android’s report has also tipped at a lauch date for Galaxy F foldable phone. The report suggests that the handset will release in European markets by early April. Besides, Samsung might launch them around the same time in other markets as well. These include the US, China, and Korea. However, this happens to be contrary to earlier reports which tipped at a much later release for Samsung’s foldable phone.
Elsewhere, another report by GalaxyClub has seemingly revealed battery details about the foldable phone. Accoridng to the report, the handset will pack two batteries of 2190 capacity each, making the total battery capacity 4380mAh.
Samsung will announce the Galaxy S10 range on Feb. 20. Rumors also suggest that a 5G variant is also on the cards, alongside the foldable smartphone that could also be announced at the event. We’ll hear more about the upcoming flagship as we near its official release. Until then, keep checking back for the latest updates.
