Samsung Suddenly Teases Radical New Galaxy Smartphone

Samsung is rightly getting a lot of attention for its 10th-anniversary Galaxy S10. That’s not surprising when leaks have revealed its truly bezel-less design, ’ultrasonic’ in-display fingerprint reader, triple rear cameras, gradient colors and 5G. It sounds like a dream, one controversial flaw aside. But now Samsung has suddenly teased a phone which promises to be an even bigger game-changer…
Having subtly hinted (not once, but twice) that it plans to announce the screen bending Galaxy F early next month, Samsung has now chosen to ‘accidentally’ confirm another key part of the puzzle on Apple’s iPad launch day.
Samsung has today filed a very public trademark (via LetsGoDigital) for a ‘Samsung Infinity-V’ smartphone display. And it doesn’t take much effort to decode the message.
Firstly, ‘Infinity’ is the brand name Samsung chooses for the almost bezel-less flagship phone displays it uses on the Galaxy S8, S9, Note 8 and Note 9. And since this is for a future device, you can expect the bezels will be smaller than ever.
Secondly, Samsung announced its Galaxy F November event (dubbed “The crossroads between the present and the future”) with an animated videowhich focuses on a V that represents using the phone with it folding at both the beginning and end.
Yes, Samsung wants us to know the display in the world’s first screen-folding smartphone will be called the Infinity-V.
The move also decisively hits back at earlier reports that the Galaxy F was close to vapourware and followed quotes from Samsung Mobile Division CEO DJ Koh who declared “It’s time to deliver”. The only downside is the Galaxy F looks set to be very hard to buy.
Of course, with Samsung looking to one-two punch launches for the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy F confidence appears so high even publicly trolling rivals is on the menu.
