Samsung announces Galaxy S10 and foldable smartphone on February 20

Samsung is set to announce its Galaxy S10 phones and its foldable smartphone on February 20 at its own event in London and San Francisco. That reports business newspaper The Wall Street Journal based on its own sources.

The foldable smartphone should be released in April, but the release date is not yet certain, reports The Wall Street Journal. With the announcement on February 20, Samsung competitor Huawei would be just too quick, which would like to present a foldable phone the following week at the telecom fair Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Samsung is also still dubious about the name, reports the business newspaper. The names ‘Fold’, ‘Galaxy Fold’ and ‘Galaxy F’ are still in the running, according to the newspaper’s sources. Samsung declined to comment on the article. The manufacturer showed a prototype in November. It has a 4.6″ screen on the outside and a foldable 7.3″ screen on the inside.

According to WSJ, Samsung will launch five high-end models in the first half of this year to boost sales of its smartphones. In addition to the foldable phone, there are four models in its Galaxy S10 series. Those are rumored to be an ‘S10 Lite’, ‘S10’ and ‘S10 Plus’, with two, three and four cameras respectively on the back and screen sizes of 5.8″, 6.1″ and 6.4″. there will be a 5G model with 6.7″ screen and five cameras on the back. The S10 phones would be released on March 8.

Samsung might have put a render of the S10 online itself. An article on interface One UI initially featured a render with a hole in the screen where the S10 would get it, a Reddit user noted.
