Samsung set to release smartphone with a foldable screens

The phone announced Wednesday in San Francisco will be called the Galaxy Fold and will sell for $1,980 when it is released April 26. Samsung is hoping the Galaxy Fold will spur more people to upgrade their phones and reverse a recent slump that saw its smartphone sales fall 8 percent last year. Those are all important features to consumers shopping for phones, although they aren't a big leap from the models released during the past few years. The new models expected in San Francisco will commemorate the 10th anniversary of Samsung's first smartphone. Samsung is also expected to provide a glimpse at a highly anticipated smartphone with a foldable screen.

LG won't release a foldable smartphone anytime soon

as informed in "We have reviewed releasing the foldable smartphone when launching 5G smartphone but decided not to produce it," said Kwon. "LG's main issue in smartphone business is to regain its market position. Considering this situation, it is too early for LG to launch a foldable smartphone." It was widely expected that LG would launch the device at CES last month, though all we got in the end was its rollable TV. Its future, and the fate of LG's mobile unit, now likely hinges on the success of LG's upcoming batch of handsets.
