Samsung Foldable Galaxy F (SM-F9000) Receives CMIIT Approval Ahead of Launch

Last week the South Korean giant Samsung officially announced that it will hold its Galaxy Unpacked on February 20, 2019, to launch its latest Galaxy S10 X device. Samsung is also expected to announce its first foldable smartphone at the same event, called the Galaxy F. Now just ahead of its official launch the upcoming Foldable Galaxy F device has received approval from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (CMIIT) in China.

As first spotted by folks at nashvillechatterclass, the first Samsung Foldable Galaxy F device appears on the CMIIT with the model number (SM-F9000). We had heard previously that Samsung has been testing several models of its upcoming Galaxy F device for the U.S., European and Asian markets with model numbers SM-F900U, SM-F900F, and SM-F900A.

The CMIIT approval, however, didn’t reveal more details about the upcoming devices but what we have learned from earlier leaks and rumors, the upcoming Galaxy F foldable smartphone will be coming with Snapdragon 855. There will be 512 GB of native storage on the device.

The Galaxy Fold foldable smartphone is expected to feature a 7.3-inch Infinity Flex Display which can also be accessed when unfolded. The phone will also feature another display of 4.6 inches.

Reports have also suggested that the Galaxy F device will be fueled by a 6,000 mAh battery.
