The promotional video shows a foldable smartphone with its inward folding design and the cover display that lights up when the smartphone is being used in the folded state.

A prototype of Samsung's foldable smartphone, that has been dubbed the “Galaxy Flex” or “Galaxy F” in the leak arena, was reportedly showcased to a small audience in a closed door meeting at CES 2019.
