Samsung's foldable smartphone just received its final certification, may launch soon

Samsung’s foldable smartphone, rumoured to be named Samsung Galaxy X, which its CEO announced to be launched by the next year has shown its first sign of presence. In a filing from the company with the Korean National Radio Research Agency (NRRA), the phone’s model number has appeared.

Interestingly, the filing adds N0 to the model number of the phone SM-G888, which according to LetsGoDigital points towards its release in South Korea. However, almost certainly, after the launch of Apple iPhone X, it will be introduced globally.

The certification means the phone is ready to be introduced into the market as it has already got all the necessary approvals

"As the head of the business, I can say our current goal is next year," Koh Dong-jin, president of mobile business at Samsung Electronics had told Associated Press before the launch event of iPhone X. "When we can overcome some problems for sure, we will launch the product."

Samsung has been toying with the idea of a bendable smartphone since 2013. Throughout the year, the company exhibited a prototype called Youm at technology conferences and media events.
