Samsung's New Foldable Smartphone Will Be A Tablet That Can Be Folded Into A Phone

As reported earlier, technology major Samsung is serious about developing an actual foldable smartphone. Reports surfaced that Samsung would officially announce the product in a Tech Conclave in November.

In an interview with CNET, the CEO of Samsung's mobile business, D. J. Koh, promised that the upcoming foldable smartphone devices wouldn't be a gimmick. In fact, he claims that the Galaxy F will be of utmost practicality with the ability to be used as a tablet and then folded into a phone.

The concept, which was first introduced at CES 2013, was a super slim OLED display, called Youm, that was merely bending, not folding. Speaking to CNET, Koh underlined the evolution of the device. He also revealed that the phone they hope to launch soon, maybe called the Galaxy F, will unfold into a tablet.

It's been no secret that Samsung desperately wants to provide the cardinal foldable-display smartphone, but Koh assured CNET that, "if the user experience is not up to my standard, I don't want to deliver those kinds of products."

The introduction of the foldable smartphone will be a revolutionary step in the mobile world and will sure be a welcome move among users.
