Samsung is working on a foldable smartphone for a long time, It might announce later this year but won’t be available till 2019.
Samsung will unveil details of a foldable smartphone later this year, the CEO.
CEO of Samsung added, There will be a new market for the foldable smartphone and users will like to use this phone. Although, He didn’t mention how this device will work.
“You can use most of the uses … on foldable status. But when you need to browse or see something, then you may need to unfold it. But even unfolded, what kind of benefit does that give compared to the tablet? If the unfolded experience is the same as the tablet, why would they (consumers) buy it?,” Koh said at the IFA electronics show in Berlin last week.
“So every device, every feature, every innovation should have a meaningful message to our end customer. So when the end customer uses it, (they think) ‘wow, this is the reason Samsung made it’.”
Koh hinted that more details of the device could be unveiled this year at the Samsung Developer Conference in November in San Francisco, but gave no indication of when a full launch would take place or when it might go on sale. The mobile CEO admitted that while the development process is “complicated,” the company has “nearly concluded” it.
