Samsung is reportedly getting ready to release its highly
anticipated foldable
phone in March 2019 for over $1,700, South
Korean news agency Yonhap reports.

The book-like folding display was
first unveiled by Samsung a week ago. While the display was
dubbed “Infinity Flex,” Samsung didn’t reveal the name for the
phone itself. Yonhap’s report says it will be named the “Galaxy
F,” which was already rumoured to a potential name for the device
along with “Galaxy X.”

Citing industry sources, Yonhap says Samsung will launch the
folding phone alongside the 5G edition of its Galaxy S10 phone.

It also says that “industry watchers” estimate the phone’s sale
price at around 2 million won, equivalent to $1,770. The CEO of
Samsung DJ Koh reportedly said last week that Samsung will ship
at least 1 million of the devices.

The reports are still largely speculative, and Business Insider
has contacted Samsung for comment.
