Samsung Reveals Galaxy Fold Name Ahead of S10 Event
Samsung plans to officially unveil its first foldable smartphone tomorrow, and noted leaker Evan Blass reveals the device bears the name Galaxy Fold. The announcement comes just before a wave of competing foldable handsets debut at Mobile World Congress.
Samsung prepares to showcase its highly anticipated foldable phone at tomorrow's Galaxy S10 event, giving the public a much clearer look at the device after an initial teaser late last year. The biggest mystery surrounding the product appears to be solved, as the company needs a strong name for a device that creates an entirely new hardware category for the tech giant.
Noted leaker Evan Blass reveals that Samsung settles on the name Galaxy Fold for the innovative handset. This choice serves as a significant step up from the previously rumored "Galaxy F" moniker, which critics easily mock for its unfortunate phonetic similarity to a common grade letter.
The official reveal arrives just in time for Samsung to assert its dominance ahead of Mobile World Congress, where numerous competing foldable handsets expect to grab serious stage time. Consumers eagerly await full specifications and pricing details as the smartphone industry enters a new era of flexible displays.
