Folding screen smart phone will be the game changer in 2019

In addition to offering a completely new look, the folding screen smartphone can help to recover the sales figures of smartphone companies which have the tendency to decline over the years. At the 2018 Software Developer Conference, Samsung introduced the company’s first folding smartphone prototype. The phone is called the Galaxy F.

According to some leaked images, Galaxy F will own a pixel density of 420 ppi, a resolution of 840 x 1.960 when folded and 1.536 x 2.152 when expanded. When folded for use, the screen will be 4.58 inches in size, 21: 9 aspect ratio. In widescreen mode, used as a tablet, the screen size will reach 7.3 inches, a 4.2: 3 aspect ratio.

The machine uses Infinity Flex Display technology, which allows users to fold open multiple times without causing breakage.

Koh Dong-jin, CEO of Samsung Electronics said the company will release fold-in phones in the first half of 2019 and promises to have 1 million unit published.

Smartphone makers have shipped 355.2 million smartphones in the third quarter of 2018, reduces 6 percent from the same period of last year, and the fourth quarter also decline, according to market research firm IDC.

Samsung is also facing many difficulties as its sales drop 13.4 percent to 72.2 million units. Samsung is facing competitive pressure from its rivals to maintain the top position in the mobile market, particularly Huawei, which is in second place and is going to take the lead position. Thus, a special phone like the Galaxy F will become a powerful weapon to help the company continue to maintain its current position.

However, Samsung is not the only manufacturer that is ambitious in creating folding screen devices. In late October, Royole, a Shenzhen-based company, launched the world’s first folding smartphone, called FlexPai. It has a screen size of 7.8 inches, a resolution of 1920 x 1440 pixels and foldable into a device with a 4-inch screen. According to Royole, the phone has suffered more than 200,000 folds open without damaging or breaking the screen. Machine prices start from $ 1,290 and is expected to officially sell around early 2019.

So we all have to wait to see what they will bring to the world.

Samsung is about to launch smartphone surfing the fastest Internet (5G)

Samsung has confirmed that it will introduce 5G smartphones in 2019. This may be the smartphone that has the fastest Internet access speed next year.

Samsung and Verizon have partnered to release 5G smartphones in the first half of next year. At the same time, Qualcomm is considered an important hardware partner of Samsung because they supplie the 5G Snapdragon X50 modem, which is expected to arrive in 2019.

In August, Samsung introduced the first 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) 3GPP Exynos Modem 5100 – the first 5G modem.

This modem is manufactured on a 10 nm process, with a maximum download speed of 2 Gb / s on sub-6 GHz and 6 Gb / s on the mmWave band, 1.7 and 5 times higher than the chip. previous generation modem. When used with 4G networks, the speed of Exynos Modem 5100 is still stable at 1.6 Gb / s.

Samsung has confirmed that the Exynos 5100 modem will be available by the end of 2018. So, it is likely that the Galaxy S10 and Note10 will be available with 5G internet next year.

Meanwhile, Apple is considered one of the companies that support the 5G network on their final models. Previously, 4G smartphone was launched in 2010 but in 2012 “new apple” equipped with 4G technology on the iPhone 5.

So, most likely Apple will be equipped with 5G technology on the iPhone model in 2020. Many people said that Apple does not want users to complain about the limitations of the modem or lack of coverage in the early stages.

According to a report by the CTIA (International Wireless Technology Association), China is the leading country ready for the deployment of 5G technology. Second place is Korea and third place is America. Telecom service providers around the world are in the sprint to reach the 5G network.

Therefore, it is worth waiting to see what Samsung will give us next year. However, we sure that it will make a heavy storm in the mobile phone segmentation.
