14 DAY TRIAL // It’s not a secret that Samsung is betting big on its foldables in the long term, and the company is working on multiple fronts to improve the experience with this form factor.
And according to a recent report from Naver, one of the main focuses right now is making the screen of the next-generation Galaxy foldable more durable.
Without a doubt, this is good news.
The South Korean company has been trying to improve this aspect ever since it rolled out the original Galaxy Z Flip. Equipped with ultra-thin glass, this device more or less impressed in terms of durability, but on the other hand, it sometimes still showed its limits and led to various display issues.
New foldables coming in the summer
The same technology with small refinements here and there eventually made its way to other foldable smartphones, including the Fold 3 and the Flip 3. But once again, the ultra-thin glass still left some room for improvements, and this is exactly what Samsung is reportedly planning to do right now,
The upcoming foldables, which are expected to launch in the summer, most likely during the August Unpacked event, will come with more durable tech. Samsung is planning to make a big deal out of it, so it’ll represent one of the main selling points of the new models.
The company is also planning more aggressive marketing for the new ultra-thin glass it’ll use on the next foldables, so right now, all signs seem to indicate that Samsung is preparing some pretty significant improvements.
At this point, it goes without saying Samsung has remained completely tight-lipped on everything, so it’s better to take this information with a healthy pinch of salt for now. If the new ultra-thin glass is being developed, however, expect to hear more about it in the coming months.
