These are the rumoured specs & price of Samsung’s upcoming foldable phone

It’s being called the Samsung Galaxy Fold and if this report from Korean analysts CCS-CIMB Research is to be believed, that is. Dutch tech blog Lets Go Digital discovered the substantial report that details the specs of Samsung’s upcoming foldable phone, which could be called the Galaxy Fold. The phone will have a 7.3-inch 2,125 x 1,536 foldable display and will be powered by two battery packs that total between 5,000 and 6,000mAh capacity. It’ll reportedly feature a dual camera setup in the back with 12-megapixel sensors and an 8-megapixel on the cover. It’ll reportedly be powered by an Exynos 9820 processor in Korean and Snapdragon 8150 in the US.

According to CCS-CIMB Research, all these information have been verified by the component suppliers listed in the report. And in the bill of materials shown, the Galaxy Fold will cost 70 percent more than the Galaxy S9+ at US$636.70 and that this will carry a 65% markup, meaning it’ll sell for a very, very expensive price of US$1,800. Now, whether any of these is true, we’re about to find out in February when the Galaxy Fold debuts at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

Report claims Samsung’s foldable phone could cost US$1,770, tipped for March 2019 launch

As expected, looks like Samsung’s folding smartphone is going to cost a pretty penny. A report from South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency claims to have the name, release date, and price of the foldable smartphone/tablet. It’s said to be called the Galaxy F and will be unveiled in March 2019, just a little after the Galaxy S10 launch. We’re supposed to see more of the device at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona at around the end of February, where Samsung is expected to show off the latest Galaxy S device. While the Galaxy S10 is expected to support 5G, this Galaxy F device won’t. Considered an exclusive device, it’ll supposedly command a price tag as high as US$1,770 (approx. CA$2,350). The price isn’t final yet but Samsung’s chief DJ Koh plans to ship a million of these devices in 2019.
