Samsung has confirmed that it will be launching the Galaxy W20 5G foldable phone in China on Nov. 19. First it was believed that the Galaxy W20 could be Samsung’s forthcoming foldable phone with clamshell design. However, recent reports have revealed that the Galaxy W20 5G will be a new 5G-ready version of the Galaxy Fold for China. Today, the Galaxy W20 phone that has a model number of SM-W2020 has received approval from the TENAA telecom authority of China. Its TENAA listing has revealed preliminary specs of the phone.
TENAA has revealed that the Samsung SM-W2020 has dual displays. One of them measures 4.6 inches. The measurement of the other display is not available yet. It is packed with a minimum rated battery of 4,135mAh and supports only single SIM. The listing states that the SM-W2020 measures 160.9 x 117.9 x 6.9mm. When unfolded, the Galaxy Fold measures the same. Hence, it appears that the SM-W2020 is indeed the new variant of the Galaxy Fold. The TENAA images of the phone also suggests that the Galaxy W20 5G resembles with the original Galaxy Fold.
The SM-W2020 was recently spotted on the database of 3C authority through which it was confirmed that it is a 5G device and it may ship with a charger that supports 15W fast charging. The currently available Galaxy Fold in China also ships with 15W charger. However, the country has only received the 4G LTE edition of the phone.
The Galaxy Fold 4G LTE edition is powered by Snapdragon 855 mobile platform that includes 2.84GHz octa-core processor. The upcoming Galaxy W20 5G is rumored to be equipped with 2.96GHz Snapdragon 855+ mobile platform. Apart from TENAA and 3C, the Samsung SM-W2020 has also received approval from Wi-Fi Alliance and Bluetooth SIG. The entire specifications of the Galaxy W20 5G smartphone is expected to soon surface on TENAA. It is likely that its specs will be almost identical with the original Galaxy Fold.
