Mysterious Samsung 5G 'Bolt' phone referenced in Note 9 firmware

The firmware refers to a smartphone with the codename “bolt5gvzw.” The “5G” aspect of the codename is relatively easy to figure out, as is the final three letters, “VZW,” which reference Verizon Wireless. The “Bolt,” however, is unknown at this point, but is very likely the name of a smartphone.

If so, the codename suggests there is a Samsung 5G smartphone on the way to Verizon which will either be codenamed Bolt or be called the Samsung Bolt.

Samsung Galaxy S10, S10 Plus, S10e, and S10 5G are here!

To be clear, this codename is different than the previously-rumored “ultimate” variant of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10. That device’s codename is “beyondx” with the vanilla Galaxy S10 codenamed “beyond1,” the Galaxy S10 Plus codenamed “beyond2,” and the Galaxy S10 Lite codenamed “beyond0.”

The Note 9 firmware references all of these devices as well, including the “beyondx.” As such, this “bolt5gvzw” is something else entirely.
