Samsung Electronics is set to unveil its latest range of foldable devices August 10 as the company gears up for an even larger share of the smartphone market pie.
The announcement was made by Samsung Electronics President T.M. Roh when he invited the world to the latest unpacked event. “Last year, we saw almost 10 million foldable smartphones shipped worldwide. That’s an industry increase of more than 300 per cent from 2020, and I predict this fast-paced growth will continue. We are reaching the moment where these foldable devices are becoming widespread and staking a bigger claim in the overall smartphone market” said Roh during his address.
Samsung Electronics for the last 10 years has dedicated resources to create transformative technology by looking at the one thing all smartphones were synonymous with, a flat rectangular display.
Overcoming many technological hurdles, and successfully introducing the first-ever Galaxy foldable smartphone in 2019, changed the future of the industry ever since and Samsung is not looking back.
