Looks like Samsung's foldable phone does not have Gorilla Glass on every launch – BGR

At this point, we still do not have a clear idea of ​​when Samsung's Galaxy F smartphone arrives, whether it arrives in November or after. And here is a new rumor about the materials that Samsung will use for the handset. Apparently, Gorilla Glass will not be part of it.

It depends SamMobile, which reports that Samsung is already using the special protective glass made by Corning to protect the screens of many other smartphones, technological limitations are apparently the reason why the long-awaited foldable phone will not do sports with Gorilla Glass.

Samsung can not use Gorilla Glass for the Galaxy F, according to the website, "because of the rigid nature of the latter. Strong glass would not allow the camera to bend in half. Samsung will therefore use a transparent polyimide supplied by Sumitomo Chemical of Japan. It would be less durable than Gorilla Glass, but would allow the Galaxy F to retain its flexible form factor.

Samsung has written a lot on the foldable smartphone and has already been the subject of many leaks and rumors still circulating, and we can now add that to the stack. Which is ironic, of course, because the company has not even confirmed the actual name of the device (so the unofficial designation of Galaxy F that seems to have stalled, for the moment). We had clues that the company could show it at its developer conference in November, which may or may not be true.

By SamMobile, the Galaxy F might not be marketed until the beginning of next year.

"Foldable smartphones are expected to gain popularity in the coming years," according to the site. "It's no surprise that Corning has also developed a flexible glass solution. Samsung would have decided not to use this solution for the Galaxy F and would rather use the Sumitomo polyimide.

This is not the worst news for Corning when it comes to loss, as there would be no mass production at the start for Samsung's collapsible phone. Forbes noted in recent days how to "talk to L & # 39; investor In his home country, South Korea, Samsung officials told the publication that there were no immediate plans for the mass production of foldable display racks needed to create of the society. Galaxy F Folding Smartphone. Something that will surprise a lot. Last week, Samsung's CEO, DJ Koh, spoke about his company's run to market this potentially revolutionary phone, saying he did not want to lose the first world title.
