Samsung's foldable smartphone is not widely available and
comes with a price tag, which according to unconfirmed data from a report by
Gizmodo UK can reach up to $ 2,500. The breakthrough device is only available
in the UK through a limited number of channels, according to Gizmodo UK sources
verified as Samsung employees. The smartphone is offered SIM-free in the
Samsung stores and is either SIM-free or contractually available via the mobile
operator EE.
If the report is correct, Samsung's plan for the folding
smartphone in the UK will be very different compared to the flagship Galaxy S
and Galaxy Note, which are offered by almost all major airlines. It is not
known if the device will be similarly heavier to buy in the US than its
predecessor models. It is also unclear whether installment plans are being
offered for the foldable smartphone, but the chances of Samsung and EE offering
such a payment opportunity due to the alleged price tag are high. The device
will cost between £ 1,500 and £ 2,000, said Gizmodo UK, a source equivalent to
about $ 1,900 to $ 2,500.
The price range covers various models of the foldable phone.
The most expensive model probably has the highest internal memory and memory
for the device. The price reported is even more expensive than previous rumors,
with the device costing up to $ 1,850. The smartphone industry has just rung in
the price tag of $ 1,000, but it seems that Samsung is already pushing things
ahead if the foldable phone is to be sold for up to $ 2,500.
Samsung's foldable phone, known as the Galaxy X, Galaxy F, or
Galaxy Flex, was released earlier this month at the Samsung Developer
Conference. The unit's Infinity Flex display was shown at the event, although
the rest of the smartphone's design was a secret. The device will be officially
announced at the Mobile World Congress in February 2019 and released in March
2019, according to the latest rumor from Samsung's native South Korea. However,
Samsung may not be the only smartphone manufacturer to launch a foldable
smartphone next year, as it's rumored that LG will be unveiled at CES 2019.
When should we expect to see Samsung's folding masterpiece in
the wild? Rumors indicated that the phone would not reach consumers by 2019,
and now it is almost certain that these rumors were true. At the Samsung
Developers' Conference, Samsung said it will be ready to mass-produce foldable
displays in the coming months, meaning that the phone itself will probably not
be released until a few months later.
While Samsung discussed the display at the Samsung Developer
Conference, it was not under the hood. However, a few reports have come up that
give us an idea of the technical data the new phone may need to provide.
According to Lets Go Digital, Samsung's foldable mobile phone has a 6,000 mAh
battery and is powered by an Exynos 9820 processor in South Korea or a Qualcomm
Snapdragon 855 elsewhere. While Samsung recently invested billions in a foundry
to produce 7nm chipsets, the recently announced Exynos 9820 SoC is based on 8nm
architecture. However, there is a chance that Samsung will release 7nm with 5G
capability for the upcoming flip-top smartphone and a 5G-enabled Samsung Galaxy
S10.
