News & Reviews:   Samsung Galaxy F Malaysia price

What seems like an official Samsung #DoWhatYouCant video has leaked with what appears to be Samsung's upcoming foldable phone/tablet (Update: Samsung have since made it an official video on their YouTube Channel). Looking much like a showreel of future Samsung products, the brief time the device appears seems to indicate that it will open up from a 4.58-inch display to a 7.3-inch display.

The Samsung Galaxy Fold will be Samsung’s first foldable 5G smartphone which may be set to be unveiled on the 21st of February. It is speculated to have a hefty price tag of USD$1700 (~RM6983) and may be powered by the Exynos 5100 modem.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 5G smartphone has been reported to be called Samsung Galaxy S10 X. According to ETNews, a Korean publication, the X stands for not only 10 but also ‘experience’ as well as ‘expand’. It is speculated that the device will be unveiled alongside the rest of the S10 series on February 20.

Based on a statement by ETNews.com, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy F, which is the first foldable phone by Samsung, will come equipped with a triple camera rear similar to that of the recently launched Samsung Galaxy A7. In terms of the sensor used, the Galaxy F will come equipped with a wide-angle sensor and a standard dual camera. The exact specs of the camera such as the megapixel count are not known as of now but expect more information about it to be revealed in the first quarter of 2019.

According to a report made by CGS-CIMB Research in Korea, the estimated cost to manufacture a Samsung Galaxy F is expected cost 1800USD(~RM7533). Based on the budget breakdown, the majority of the cost went towards the large foldable 7.3-inch display and an external 4.58-inch display which both costs about 218USD(~RM912).

If you’re thinking of being one of the first to own the Samsung Galaxy F then  you gotta be fast as the first batch of the smartphone is said to be limited. The Korean giant had announced that only a million units of the foldable smartphone would be released but it is unsure if the amount would only be for the first batch or the only amount of the Galaxy F that would be produced next year.

Everyone has been pretty hyped about Samsung’s upcoming chipset since the Samsung Mobile official Twitter account tweeted a photo of a smartphone with the date 14 November 2018 with the hashtag #TheNextExynos. True to the date, the Korean giant earlier unveiled the next generation chipset, the Samsung Exynos 9820 in China. For the first time, this chipset comes with a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) which is said to offer seven times artificial intelligence based computing power compared to its predecessor.

If you are interested in snagging yourself Samsung’s upcoming innovative smartphone, you better save now. The foldable smartphone, which could be released under the name Samsung Galaxy F, is expected to be released in March 2019, according to Gizchina.com. The device won’t come cheap though, as the Samsung Galaxy F will be marketed for a whopping 2 million won (~RM 7366)!

Earlier today, Samsung teased a photo with the company's logo folded on their Facebook page which points to the ever talked about foldable phone that they have been working on for awhile now. According to Gizmochina.com, the company's first foldable phone will be named Samsung Galaxy F, with the F likely standing for foldable, instead of the rumoured Samsung Galaxy X.

The rumoured premium metal body Samsung Galaxy F just got another press render leak, again from serial leaker @evleaks. This time around, it is the full smartphone but instead of gold, it is a metallic silver colour. While the leak did not go into details many are expecting a 2K display on the upcoming smartphone or one that will provide a 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S range of tablets already offer 2K displays so it seems very likely that that would be a feature in the next premium smartphone from Samsung. No Malaysia release dates yet but the Galaxy F is expected to arrive in 2014 perhaps in Q4. As always, do take this rumour with a good pinch of salt but stay tuned for more developments.
