Samsung Defines What’s Next for Foldable Smartphones

Foldable smartphones have come a long way in just a handful of years. What was once a bold new idea has become an established part of the mobile landscape, changing how people work, create and connect.

In anticipation of the next chapter in Galaxy innovation, one thing remains clear: Samsung is shaping the foldable experience through purposeful refinement, thoughtful design and a relentless focus on what people need from their devices.

Long before foldables became one of the industry’s most closely-watched categories, Samsung was investing in the technology that would help make them a reality. In 2018, the company unveiled its Infinity Flex Display, which enables more immersive viewing and improved multitasking capabilities without sacrificing portability. The first Galaxy Fold went to market the following year, with the Galaxy Z Flip debuting in early 2020 as a new form factor.

Those moments were more than product launches. They established the foundation for an emerging category. And in the time since, Samsung has made continued advancements in durability, performance and user experience.

As foldables have gained momentum and the category has expanded, Samsung remains focused on the details that matter most. Each iteration has improved on the last, informed by customer feedback and real-world experience. The result is a portfolio of devices that has helped turn foldables from a futuristic concept into a trusted choice for millions of users around the world.

“Our job has always been to make the foldable technology feel more natural, more intuitive and more useful,” said Tarik Akad, Head of Mobile, Samsung Electronics Canada. “That’s been our focus from the beginning. Every improvement has been guided by how people use their devices, and those insights continue to shape where we believe foldables can go next.”

The capabilities of smartphones have expanded well beyond calls and texts, and the expectations will continue to evolve. Years of refining foldables give Samsung a unique perspective on the future of mobile technology – and how to build devices that meet the moment.

That journey is far from over.

Once again, Samsung is preparing to redefine what’s possible, building on years of engineering and ambition that have shaped the foldable category from the beginning.
