The report claims Samsung's phone will be called Galaxy F and should arrive in March 2019, shortly after the February launch of the Galaxy S10. Samsung's head of mobile DJ Koh previously said the phone should arrive in the first part of 2019.

The Galaxy F will have a 7.4-inch screen when unfolded, and an additional 4.6-inch screen when folded, and -- unlike the Galaxy S10 -- will not support 5G connectivity, according to the report.
