Samsung sets the release date for Galaxy Note20 and Galaxy Fold 2

Samsung has confirmed its intention to launch the Galaxy Note 2020 series phones, plus a new foldable smartphone during the second half of this year.

In light of the uncertainty imposed by the spread of the new coronary virus (COVID-19) that affected supply chains, Samsung said in its report on the financial results for the first quarter of 2020: The main smartphones will arrive during the second half this year.

The company said in a statement: “For the second half, and amid uncertainty surrounding the possibility of a long-term pandemic, competition is expected to increase in the market as manufacturers strive to recover from the weakness that occurred in the first half. The company will continue to offer different products in the premium sector with the launch of new models for folding phones and Note phones. ”

Although Samsung promised to launch phones (Galaxy Note 20) during the second half of this year, but this period of time may be a clue that the launch of the phones may be delayed a bit, especially since the second half ends at the end of the year, And Samsung has used it in recent years to launch phones before the end of August.

And if Samsung delays the launch of the phones, it will not be surprising given that its most prominent rival, Apple, will postpone the increase in its production of the main iPhones that will be launched a month later this year, according to the Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter the day before yesterday. .
