. Last week, Samsung finally took a look at its foldable phone, which is the subject of many rumors and is all the rage. The company introduced Infinity Flex Display at the developer conference, where it also announced that the phone would be ready for the mbad market in the coming months. Samsung looks rather optimistic about its first fully collapsible phone, which is why the company plans to manufacture at least 1 million units.

According to a report from Yonhap, Samsung's mobile phone chief, Koh said after last week's presentation that the company plans to manufacture at least 1 million foldable phone units in its initial phase . If the answer is positive, the company will do more. At present, there is no exact date of launch of the foldable phone, but Koh has stated with certainty that it will go on sale from the first half of 2019. Samsung n & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; Has not yet revealed the specifications or the name of the device, but Rumors suggest that this could be called the Galaxy F.

Koh does not believe that the foldable phone will soon replace the form factor of smartphones. That's why the company is also working on expandable and roll-up screens. We could also see some of these phones on display over the next two years. Koh also announced that Samsung would devote itself to the release of the Galaxy S10 next year, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the flagship series.

The collapsible phone that Samsung revealed last week is endowed with a proprietary display called Samsung by Infinity. Flex display. It showed a 7-inch AMOLED panel folded in the middle to close the device. The phone also has a 4.3-inch AMOLED secondary display on the outside, which can be used as a regular smartphone. Samsung claims that the screen does not benefit from glbad protection, but rather from an advanced layer of flexible and durable composite polymer that will allow the user to fold up the screen "hundreds of thousands of times".

Samsung has designed a new design interface called One UI to replace its Experience user interface. Samsung worked closely with Google and Android developers to create a minimalist user interface, displaying only relevant content at the bottom of the screen for easy one-handed use. A user interface will not be used for the foldable phone, but will also do so for the Galaxy S9, the Galaxy S9 + and the Note 9 with Android 9. Pie at the beginning of next year.
