Samsung working on two different folding phones for 2020

In the Q1 of 2019, Samsung launched its first foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Fold. albeit its commercial availability was delayed a few of times thanks to display issues, it's still an interesting device. Samsung must have taken note of this, as insiders are reporting that the Korean giant decide to reveal two new foldable smartphones next year.

On top of this, other variants of foldable smartphones are expected to hit the market next year, expanding the foldable segment to satisfy the demand for larger screens in compact form factors. a minimum of two new foldable models are likely to be launched by Samsung next year, while there are rumors that LG Electronics will debut its first foldable phone.One of these next-generation Galaxy Folds will reportedly accompany a clamshell design. As per the report, the duvet display will primarily be employed by the corporate just to point out notifications along side another basic information like battery info while charging. a few of charging animations seemingly designed for the device have also been found within the OneUI 2.0 beta.The retail price of the clamshell phone is estimated to be around 1 million won ($845), a price strategy to build up sales and make it a mass-market model. It’s expected to launch sometime in February 2020, possibly alongside the Galaxy S11. that's unless the Galaxy S11 itself is that the new clamshell device, though it seems rather unlikely.

“Samsung’s decide to expand the foldable product lineup depends on the market response to the clamshell model slated for launch in 2020, but it's clear the firm will increase the lineup,” said Choi Bo-young, an analyst at Kyobo Securities. He also mentions that the right successor to the Galaxy Fold will likely be announced around August 2020.Let’sGo Digital, a web IT outlet based within the Netherlands, revealed that the Korean company filed a design patent with The Hague International Design System in May, though it had been not officially announced until Nov. 29. The patent sketch shows that the outward-folding foldable design seems like Huawei’s Mate X.

So far, there are no significant reports about the launch of the device. this is often mainly because the corporate has seen some major restructuring of its smartphone business. “We do have the foldable technology that has been developed, but our official stance is that it’s too early yet,” said a corporation official.
