Samsung to unveil its next smartphone on August 10

It’s a divided world. No metaphors here, just a clear division with one group sticking to the idea of having multiple devices to get work done (read: smartphones for calling and photography; tablets for media consumption) while the other wants something all-in-one, like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, which is an evolved version of the phone, approaching a tablet… or a shrunken version of a tablet that may look like a phone. However you look at it, the Fold3 last year was technology at its best because finally smartphones became interesting.

On August 10, Samsung will unveil its next important smartphone, which is widely believed to be the Galaxy Z Fold4 (besides the Galaxy Z Flip4). The timing is important. Sure, recession looms, inflation continues to soar and talks of Covid and what not remain in the air, perfectly setting up the stage where people will spend money on things that are important and can be useful in the long run. The folding phone from Samsung is not inexpensive but is it important?
