Gurugram, July 2025.
South Korean tech giant
Samsung Electronics is all set to launch its latest *foldable smartphones in
Brooklyn, New York on July 9. Samsung is known for its visionary thinking and
bold ideas that shape the future, so it’s only fitting that Samsung unveils the
latest and greatest additions to the Galaxy portfolio in a place known for its
culture, creativity and collaboration.
The company has teased that the upcoming foldables - now in their
seventh generation - will be the thinnest, lightest and most durable of all.
First introduced in 2019,
Galaxy Z Fold signalled the herald of a new folding category of smartphones for
consumers, combining the portability of a smartphone with the extensive
productivity of a tablet. However, the category has remained small due to high
prices and concerns around durability and longevity of foldable devices.
These are the key areas that
Samsung is likely to address, when TM Roh, the acting head of the Company's
Device eXperience (DX) Division, takes the stage in a Brooklyn Convention
Centre later this week. The Company recently said that its engineers and
designers are refining each generation of the Galaxy Z series to be thinner,
lighter and more durable than the last.
Samsung has also teased
camera innovations, indicating that the new foldable devices will feature a
more powerful, dynamic and immersive camera system. According to Samsung's
recent teasers, the company is likely to bring the Galaxy S25 series' Ultra
camera experience to the new Galaxy Z Fold7. This means that the Galaxy Fold
series may get its first flagship camera, removing a big pain point among
consumers who wanted to adopt foldables phones but were not impressed with its
camera.
Samsung is also likely to
continue with its strategy to bring more AI features with Galaxy AI, which the
company says goes beyond what devices can do and is about how people interact
with them. The Company is also expected to launch a new AI-powered interface,
supported by breakthrough hardware.
