The foldable smartphone market continues to grow at a good paceToday, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and Fold undoubtedly has a lot of merit. Let’s remember that the technology company has been betting on this phone format for years and that although its first versions had many aspects that could be improved (on the other hand, something completely understandable, since it was a particularly new technology), over the years they have been critical elements of these phones have been significantly improved, achieving the reliability and durability that already allows us to trust them every day.

Clearly, the rest of the tech companies weren’t going to sit idly by. So far it seems indisputable Google will unveil its much-anticipated foldable Pixel during the already very close Google I/O 2023, adding to the proposals Motorola and OPPO, among others of course except for Samsung devices. And yet, sales forecasts for the next-gen Galaxy Z Flip and Fold appear to be exceptionally good, to the point that they could double those of the current generation. So the growing rumors confirm that the company could move its Galaxy Unpacked to mid-July, one to two weeks before the usual date of early August.

The convergence of multiple companies in the market (unless a cartel emerges, as we have seen before in some critical sectors) is something very positive for consumers, as they are forced to compete with each other to offer the best product to the market. a better price, fearing that its market position will sink into insignificance and disappear.

One way to respond to this competition is undoubtedly to respond to what users are asking for, and in the case of folding, there’s something they’ve been asking for for a long time. And from what we read at PhoneArena, it looks like the Korean is about to give it to her, from the future Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 will have a larger external screen. The external screen, if you are not familiar with the design of this type of phone, is the one that remains visible when the device is closed, and in the case of the Z Flip4 it is only 1.9 inches (260 x 512 pixels).

Specifically, according to the filtered Ice Universe design that you can see in the previous paragraph, Samsung would opt for a “folder” design, in which the outer screen takes up a large portion of one of the phone’s two covers. In this way, undoubtedly, its usefulness grows exponentially to the point that, in combination with the voice assistant, it will allow to perform a number of usual activities without having to open the smartphone, which will extend the life. hinge as well as battery life.
