Samsung will launch a "luxury" foldable smartphone

Samsung will release a foldable smartphone this year, and according to some information that appeared during this day, it will be a premium one. This new smartphone would be launched in the third fiscal quarter of 2017 on global markets, that is, around the launch of the iPhone 8 prepared by Apple for us.

Although we are talking about a foldable smartphone, the Samsung company would prepare a "luxury" case for its new smartphone, it being made with premium materials. What kind of materials will be used is not yet known, but those from Samsung are going to produce thousands of prototypes that will be distributed to various global partners of the company.

These tests made by Samsung's partners will have the purpose of making a decision regarding the launch of the product on global markets. Considering that Samsung will provide smartphones in the form of a prototype to partners, it remains to be seen whether they will be impressed, or not, by what the Korean company has prepared for us.

Considering that Samsung will test a foldable smartphone, the Chinese manufacturers also plan to create prototypes of such smartphones this year. Samsung wants to be the first to bring such a smartphone to the market so that it can boast the title of the "first" terminal of its kind, so there is a chance that it will be of poor quality.

"Samsung Electronics and Samsung Display are currently working on the final step of development of foldable Smartphone in order to produce prototype in third quarter of this year. While Samsung is working on this development.”

  1. Poor quality? All companies have problems with their products…. Honestly, Apple should learn from Chinese manufacturers what the quality of materials means
    Now it's one thing to struggle and innovate and improve along the way even if you have problems, and another thing is to wait and see and adopt the trends launched by others and copy them, effectively without bringing anything new at all

  2. if it's going to be quality like Vertu and similar materials, all the respect for it. Samsung, I remember some time ago when I had an Ascent Ti, I didn't get bored of it anymore, that skin is like a Mercedes Cobra, it's hard to break the glass, and again if I add a service like Concierge, the magic is almost over with the iPhone! of course there is that "but" ... there is still a long way to go but the initiative is good!

  3. Good for them!
    This is how we were evolving and Apple no longer lied that they are full of money and to give way to serious things faster as they used to do some time ago …… Like lately they have cheated the user with their new products.
    By the way, SRB SRB, I've been an Apple fan for 12 years, but there were no worse products than in 2016 for Macs and iPhones!!!

  4. You will see the poorer quality of iDevices in 2016 vs the past, because now there is competition that produces better and better quality.

  5. Vertu was recently sold for 61 mil at a turcalete.. and you see that the material from Samsung is aircraft aluminum, not what iphobe has, Coca Cola alloy. Anyway, Samsung is fortza... and Vertu will no longer exist

  6. it can be seen that you haven't had apple products in 12 years. one is to be just a fan and another... how can you compare iphone 7 with iphone 4? or macbook pro 2016 with, for example, the first kind of unibody and the first kind of retina?
    this is the difference between using their products and just reading on the net

  7. in their time iphone 2G was a mess, not you 3g without app store.. it was limited to the maximum... now iphone 7 you have 4g and app store with millions of millions

  8. The quality of apple products has increased constantly, maybe the competition has finally reached apple, after 10 years, quality materials have become cheaper, new technology is not so expensive anymore, you don't have much to invent anymore and you stop from another . A foldable phone is truly a step forward and yes, Samsung will be the first to release such a product on the market, this has been known for 2 years, Innovative? not! in how many recent sci-fi movies do you find foldable devices? I am convinced that Apple will make such a product shine, just as it did with the iPad and the Apple Watch, which were not invented by Apple.
