Samsung is adapting to the evolving technological setting
Samsung, the world’s largest smartphone maker, is rapidly moving ahead in the dynamic market by launching its 5G phones and introducing USD 2000 foldable handsets. These innovative initiatives could help Samsung to have an edge against its major rivals like Huawei Technologies Co Ltd and Apple Inc. in the saturated market environment. As per reports, besides working on the next-generation foldable smartphone, Samsung is also likely working on a ‘cheaper version’ of Galaxy Ford.
As per the revelation of the first look that was made by Samsung, the new design allows the smartphone to fold in half horizontally. Jeong said, “This brand new model factor we are now investigating not only easily fits in your pocket, but it also changes the way you use your phone.”
Samsung did not share specific details relating to when the square-folding smartphone would be exactly launched in the market setting. Samsung stated in a statement to Reuters that “While we can’t say on future products, Samsung is committed to pioneering the foldable section, including reinvesting in the development of new form factors.”
