Today, that pioneering spirit has matured into a rich heritage of category-defining technology, and has redefined how millions of people connect, work, and express themselves around the globe.

A Tradition of Year on Year Breakthroughs

The journey from a ground-breaking concept to a mainstream staple required relentless, year-on-year innovation. Following the initial debut, we quickly expanded the foldable vision by introducing the Galaxy Z Flip series, bringing a nostalgic, pocketable clamshell form factor into the modern era. Each subsequent generation pushed the boundaries of engineering further:

• Pioneering Durability: Engineering milestones like Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) replaced initial polymer screens, offering a premium, tactile feel while drastically increasing lifespan
• Resilience in Everyday Life: Introduced IPX8 water resistance to foldables, proving that flexible mechanics didn’t mean compromising on daily durability
• Form Meets Function: Refinements culminated in the zero-gap Flex Hinge, a mechanical masterpiece that made the devices slimmer, more elegant, and more ergonomic than ever before

A New Chapter of Foldable Innovation Is Coming 

What began as a bold experiment in 2019 has spawned a whole new sector of foldable devices.

Yet, the evolution is far from complete. Guided by a deep-rooted commitment to democratisation and pioneering design, our teams continue to look toward the horizon.

As summer 2026 approaches, anticipation is building for the next generation of Galaxy innovations. Staying true to form, we will continue to deliver next level innovation in foldable technology and form factor – as we have done consistently for the last seven years.

Stay tuned to the Samsung Newsroom for the upcoming announcements.
