The foldable smartphone market continues to grow at a good paceToday, without a doubt, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and Fold have had a lot to do with it. Let’s remember that the technology company has been betting on this format of phones for years, and that although its first versions had many aspects that could be improved (something totally understandable, on the other hand, since it was a particularly new technology), over the years the critical elements have been substantially improved of these phones, thus achieving that they offer a reliability and resistance that already allows us to trust them for the day to day.
Obviously, the rest of the technological companies were not going to sit idly by. By now it seems indisputable that Google will present its highly anticipated foldable Pixel during the already very close Google I / O 2023, thus adding to the proposals of Motorola and OPPO, among others, in addition to Samsung devices, of course. And yet, it seems that the sales predictions for the next-generation Galaxy Z Flip and Fold are exceptionally good, to the point that they could double those of the current generation. Thus, a growing rumor affirms that the company could advance its Galaxy Unpacked to the middle-end of July, between one and two weeks before its usual date, at the beginning of August.
The concurrence of more companies in a market (unless a cartel is formed, as we have seen previously in some critical sectors) is something very positive for the consumer, since they are forced to compete among themselves to offer the best product to the market. better price, on pain of seeing its position in the market fall to irrelevance and disappearance.
One way to respond to this competition is, without a doubt, to respond to what users demand, and in the case of folding, there is something that they have been asking for for quite some time. And according to what we can read in PhoneArena, it seems that the Korean is about to give it to her, since the future Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 will have a larger exterior screen. The outer screen, in case 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 has a size of only 1.9 inches ( 260 x 512 pixels).
Specifically, according to the design filtered by Ice Universe, and that you can see on the previous paragraph, Samsung would have opted for a “folder” design, with which the outer screen takes up a large part of one of the two covers of the phone. In this way, without a doubt, its usefulness grows exponentially, to the point that it will allow, in combination with the voice assistant, to carry out a good number of habitual activities without having to open the smartphone, something that will prolong the life of the hinge , as well as the battery life.
