Samsung's mobile boss confirms new details for the long-awaited foldable Galaxy F – BGR

The rumor mill keeps churning so much about Samsung's much-hyped, much-delayed foldable phone that it's starting to look like Galaxy F (for fast) may be the perfect name for this quick generator of interest among tech bloggers. In all seriousness, we have another tidbit about it. The president and CEO of Samsung's mobile division has been working for a while on the long-awaited foldable device that the company has been working on for some two years. Koh touted the device as a combination tablet and phone.

Among other specifics he confirmed, Koh also reportedly commented on the folks over SamMobile that it will be possible to use the so-called Galaxy as a tablet with the ability to multitask before folding it for use as a phone. He did not confirm any specifics about the display, but he reiterated that Samsung does not have a lot of information about it.

"I'm positive that we need a foldable phone," he said on the sidelines of the event A9, per SamMobileSamsung is planning to release globally. "Possibly when we start selling the foldable phone, it may be a market niche, but definitely, it will expand."

Still, though, it seems we'll have a bit of a wait before we get our first look at it. We'd been expecting a sneak peak of some kind at Samsung's developers conference in San Francisco. Now, word is the phone might not be unveiled this year at all. Samsung post-IFA 2018 said that it will not be a Galaxy F announcement at the developers' conference but that it may reveal some details about the phone in November, like specs.

As a reminder, it has already been reported to have the form factor of something like a book, with a display that folds vertically. The main display will be hidden entirely after you fold it, but the device will have an external display that is usable even while it remains folded.

SamMobile's The OLED display has a 7.3-inch primary display and a 4.6-inch external OLED display.

"When we deliver a foldable phone," "It's a good thing to our customer," Koh told the site, adding that "If the user experience is not up to my standard, I do not want to deliver those kind of products. "
