SEOUL -- Samsung Electronics hopes to quickly overcome technological challenges and unveil a foldable smartphone next year, determined to guard its increasingly tenuous market perch against threats from Apple and other up-and-coming tech players.
The foldable smartphone is on the conglomerate's product strategy "roadmap," with "its release aimed for next year," Koh Dong-jin, president of the mobile business, said Tuesday at the unveiling of the Galaxy Note 8.
