Looks like Samsung is working on multiple devices including Samsung W2018 and will launch them within a few months interval or we may see these devices launching at the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event on August 23rd in New York where the company is confirmed to launch the new Galaxy Note 8 smartphone.
The other devices the company may launch in the event will be the Galaxy C7 2017 which will feature dual rear cameras just like the Galaxy Note 8 smartphone and the other will be the new flip phone Samsung W2018 that will be the successor to last year’s Samsung W2017. The Samsung W2018 will carry the model number SM-G9298 and has already got the TENAA approval back in April this year revealing the images and specs of the device.
