Samsung's foldable Galaxy F smartphone could be priced at about $2,500

Earlier this month, Samsung  **unveiled**  its unnamed foldable smartphone, currently known as the **Galaxy F** at its developer conference, and the company will apparently manufacture as many as  **1 million units**  of the device. It now appears that the device will be priced in the range of $1,900 to $2,500, which is about Rs 1,35,000 to Rs 1,76,000, which is quite steep. A recent tweet released an image on the platform with the same information.

Reports suggest that the foldable smartphone will be **launched** in March 2019, and that Samsung is  **aiming**  to ship  **Bixby 3.0**  with the foldable smartphone. The announcement was made on 20 November, when Samsung hosted the  **Bixby Developer Day**  event inviting developers to expand and discuss on its AI assistant’s ecosystem. The event was held in Seoul, South Korea. It was  announced that the company is working on a new version of Bixby that’ll bring more features and services, which will be installed on the upcoming foldable phone.

I’m positive that we do need a foldable phone.” Samsung describes its folding phone technology as Infinity Flex Display and said that  mass-production of the device should begin in a “matter of months.” The display on the tablet has a resolution of 1536 x 2152 pixels which gives it a 4.2:3 aspect ratio and a screen size of 7.3-inches. When folded, the device is an 840 x 1960 display with a tall aspect ratio of 21:9 and screen size of 4.58-inches.
