However, there countless patents that show Samsung intentions of launching at quickest as possible.

Although it´s not 100 percent sure the release of the foldable Samsung smartphone, the reports explains that it´s quite likely to happen, which would turn the South Korean company in one of the most important players in the phone market this year, given the fact that a mobile device of this kind, in addition to the Galaxy Note 8 or the Galaxy S8 will definitely increase Samsung´s power and popularity by large.
