Samsung CEO Confirms Folding Galaxy F Phone


Samsung CEO Confirms Folding Galaxy F Phone

By Gordon Kelly  Aug 16, 2018, 09:20 pm


While Samsung ‘accidents’ (1,2,3,4,5) did more to leak the Galaxy Note 9 than any industry-insider, now the company’s CEO has taken things to the next level by officially confirming the most radical Galaxy smartphone yet… 
Samsung CEO DJ Koh has confirmed the company is not just developing a Galaxy with a folding display, but that it is in a race to get this potentially game-changing phone to market.
Speaking about the so-called ‘Galaxy F’, Koh stressed Samsung is "focusing on developing innovations that will be genuinely accepted and liked by consumers". What’s more, the company acknowledges rivals are trying to beat Samsung to the punch with this technology and it "didn't want to lose the world's first title".
Furthermore, Koh explained that the Galaxy F is not a one-off concept, but the beginning of a long-running new range, stressing: “We wouldn't have started [the project] if it was a going to be a one-time thing."
The timing of Koh’s comments are crucial. With clouds hanging over the future of Galaxy Note range, something which Apple may capitalise on, Samsung needs a new flagship smartphone which signals the company can keep pace not only with Apple but innovative Chinese phone makers like Vivo and Oppo who both made bezel-less, notch-less phones this year.
As such, the Galaxy Note 9 (with its curious design choice) also clearly marks the end of an iterative year for Samsung. While an all-new 10th anniversary Galaxy S10 will be first to highlight the company’s new innovation drive, it won’t come close to generating the attention a truly foldable phone will.
Even if the price of such change will be truly eye-watering…

Tech Culture by Gael Fashingbauer Cooper December 4, 2016 5:00 PM PST It's maybe the most satisfying arrest we can imagine. Seattle police caught an alleged car thief by enlisting the help of car maker BMW to both track and then remotely lock the luckless criminal in the very car he was trying to steal. Jonah Spangenthal-Lee, deputy director of communications for the Seattle Police Department, posted a witty summary of the event on the SPD's blog on Wednesday. Turns out if you're inside a stolen car, it's perhaps not the best time to take a nap. "A car thief awoke from a sound slumber Sunday morning (Nov. 27) to find he had been remotely locked inside a stolen BMW, just as Seattle police officers were bearing down on him," Spangenthal-Lee wrote. The suspect found a ke...

New ATM's: withdraw money with veins in your finger

New cash machines: withdraw money with veins in your finger Cash machine technology that reads the pattern of finger veins is already available in Japan and Poland   By Telegraph Reporters 6:59PM BST 15 May 2014 Cash machines could soon be installed with devices that identify customers by reading the veins in their fingers. The technology is already being rolled out in Poland, where 1,730 cash machines will this year be installed with readers, negating the need for a debit card and Pin. Developed by Hitachi, the Japanese electronics firm, the machines read the patterns of the veins just below the surface of the skin on your finger using infra-red sensors. The light is partially absorbed by haemoglobin in the veins to capture a unique finger vein pattern profile, which is matched to a profile. The technology is used by Japanese banks and also in Turkey, offering “groundbreaking levels of accuracy and speed of authentication”, Hitachi said, which in t...
