Samsung to follow a 3-month flagship launch strategy!
This report comes courtesy of SamMobile. As per the report, Samsung is planning to release its upcoming three flagship devices in succession. We’re looking at Galaxy Note 20 series, Galaxy Fold 2, and Galaxy S20 Fan Edition, each launching one month apart. The report claims that Samsung’s Vice Chairman Lee Jae-Yong recently met with a number of executives. The urgent meeting was to discuss the management strategy and launch plans for the second half of 2020.
In the meeting, the company reportedly has settled with the monthly release schedule for its flagship devices. This means that we will first see Galaxy Note 20 launching in August. In September, we should see the Galaxy Fold 2 while the S20 Fan Edition should arrive in October. It is worth noting that we are talking about the device hitting the market. The official unveiling should happen during the Unpacked event.
Going by this launch strategy makes sense considering launching all the three devices at the same time might overwhelm the consumer. Furthermore, the brand might be looking to steal Apple’s thunder since the new iPhones generally launches in September. Lastly, three months and three new devices might keep things interesting and exciting for both the brand as well as the Galaxy fans out there.
Galaxy Z Flip 5G also in works!
Apart from the Galaxy Fold 2, the South Korean giant is also working on the 5G variant of its popular Galaxy Z Flip smartphone. The device has already made its way to numerous listings for certification revealing key information along the side.
