The Snapdragon 855 mobile platform powered Samsung Galaxy Fold has been available in China since a few months, but it only supported 4G connectivity. Last month, the South Korean company introduced the Galaxy W20 5G phone as 5G-ready version of the Galaxy Fold driven by the more powerful Snapdragon 855+ SoC. At the unveil event, the company did not confirm on the price tag of the Galaxy W20 5G foldable phone. It had only stated that the device will be available for purchase in December. Earlier today, the Galaxy W20 5G appeared on Samsung’s official online store as well as JD.com.
