Samsung: there will be a Note 10, but it won't be our most premium 2019 flagship
This is not happening, said Samsung Electronics' DJ Koh yesterday at an investor conference, and Samsung will keep the Galaxy S and Note lines separate, at least for next year. That won't preclude it from releasing a brand new flagships line that will be even more premium and expensive than the eventual Note 10. He mentioned that Samsung will issue the first 5G phone sometime around March which may not be the Galaxy S10, but also that there are final preparations for the announcement of a Gumby phone.
Bend it like Gumby! Samsung's in-folding phone patent
The chief of Samsung Electronics reiterated that it isn't striving for the "world's first" title when it comes to foldable phones (that one may go to Huawei), but rather wants to polish the usefulness and experience of the concept so that it becomes the third premium line of Samsung phones. Unfortunately, that also means that the foldable Samsung phone will also cost more than the Galaxy S or Note line entrants next year. It's going to be a niche device for early adopters anyway, and the rumored $1500+ starting price probably won't startle those much. Now, whether that one will also be Samsung's first 5G phone, remains to be heard.
