One of the biggest mysteries surrounding Samsung's foldable Galaxy phone was just solved A rumor a few days ago said Samsung is working ...
A rumor a few days ago said Samsung is working on a gaming smartphone, offering Galaxy X as the potential name for the unreleased product. But the Galaxy X was, until then, the rumored commercial name for Samsung̢۪s first foldable smartphone. Then a different report from a more credible source, The Wall Street Journal, said recently that Samsung̢۪s first foldable handset will target gamers when it launches next year, but the story never mentioned any product names. So if it̢۪s not Galaxy X, what could Samsung̢۪s first foldable phone be called?

Galaxy F is one of them, and SamMobile theorizes that the Galaxy F could be the foldable handset.
The blog notes that back in 2013, rumors mentioned a “super premium†Galaxy F series that would join the Galaxy S and Note flagships. But that never happened. Fast-forward to present day, and the Galaxy F moniker resurfaced. Does F stand for foldable? We have no idea.
That̢۪s because a different Chinese leaker whose work you might be familiar with thought the Galaxy F would be something entirely different. He posted a tweet that stayed up for several hours saying that it would be a new phone for the Chinese market, but then he mysteriously deleted the tweet.
That̢۪s what things got interesting. Some time later, the leaker replaced the initial tweet with one that supports SamMobile̢۪s thinking. He is now sure that the Galaxy F is indeed the folding Galaxy phone Samsung plans to unveil early next year.
Because of the flip-flopping, we̢۪ll have to wait for more lea ks to come in before we can say with any certainty that Samsung̢۪s folding phone will be called the Galaxy S. Ultimately, it doesn̢۪t matter what Samsung calls it, as long as it releases the darn thing already. We̢۪ve been waiting for long enough.
