More and more of Samsung’s smartphones don’t jiggle, jiggle. They fold. At least, that’s the thesis shared by Dr. TM Roh, who serves as president and head of the company’s Mobile Experience Business. In a heartfelt blog post about smartphones and the folding thereof, the executive argues that the technology’s somewhat lackluster past is behind it, and that folding is the future. He also shares some interesting stats about customer preferences in this space. Spoiler alert: 70% of buyers have a strong preference for flip-phone-style foldables.
Foldable smartphone tech finds the middle ground between the huge screens customers want, and the fits-their-pocket constraint they demand, Samsung claims. This glorious spinning GIF is the Galaxy Flip 5G, which was launched a couple of years ago. Image Credits: Samsung (opens in a new window)
