Will Samsung’s foldables be harbingers of change in cluttered smartphone product lines of other companies?

If there is one thing to learn from the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 last week, it has to be the sheer confidence Samsung has in its new foldable phones. They don’t look like concept devices anymore, and that is visible in the early reviews of both Fold 3 and Flip 3. Cheaper prices and the fact that the phones are more durable show that Samsung is ready to turn foldables into mainstream devices, appealing to more diverse consumers. But Samsung’s aggression in the foldable phone segment — now in the third generation- could put pressure on other phone manufacturers to revamp their existing premium phone strategy.
