With just weeks to go until the nextSamsung Unpacked event on August 10th, 2022, where theGalaxy Z Fold 4andGalaxy Z Flip 4foldable phones are going to be launched,Samsungpresident Dr. TM Roh has stated that, “the mainstream moment for foldable smartphones is here”.
Speaking in anofficial Samsung communication, Roh states that since the South Korean maker “introduced the first-ever Galaxy foldable smartphone in 2019”, it has “changed the future of our industry ever since”, and that last year Samsung shipped a record 10 million foldable smartphones worldwide.
“I can’t wait to show you the potential of our new Samsung Galaxy foldables as the ultimate tool for both productivity and self-expression. Now, you can do more than you ever thought possible, all at once, on one device.”

T3 called this, so we’re not surprised
Regular readers of T3 will know that we’re not only a big fan of Samsung’s foldable phones, with theGalaxy Z Fold 3andGalaxy Z Flip 3currently sitting top of ourbest foldable phonesbuying guide, but that we’ve been saying the age of the foldable is now here for quite a while.
As far back as September last year did I myself, writing for T3,say thatI was “a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G convert” and was massively enthused to see the phone so “successfully rock state-of-the-art folding screen technology, while also delivering on the looks and internal hardware.”

And, mere weeks ago, I alsowrote thatan epochal shift was coming in the smartphone industry thanks to Samsung’s pioneering foldable phone efforts. “Now Samsung’s technical leaders each year and, arguably, overall flagship phones, will be foldables not non-folding phones,” I said. And now mere weeks later Samsung’s own president Dr. TM Roh has stated that, “the mainstream moment for foldable smartphones is here.”
T3 always considers itself at the forefront of reporting on technological innovation, though.
Exciting times then forAndroidphone users, and especially Samsung Galaxy fans, but worrying news for Samsung’s rivals, who are right now orders of magnitude behind it in terms of foldable phone innovation.
