Samsung knows its stuff when it comes to making smartphones. After all, he has been making them for a very long time, because he was on the market even before the revolution iPhonem. The company may not have been the first to start making smartphones with Androidem, but since its inception it has become a manufacturer that defines “what a smartphone can be with a system Android". From the old clamshell phones, Samsung went through sliders, the modern candybar style to foldable phones. At the same time, it still sets trends in the field of phones. 

The company itself is responsible for the development of many of them. At a time when smartphone makers thought that customers wouldn't prefer phones with large displays, Samsung nailed its strategy and made us all realize what we're actually missing out on. In the end, he even forced i to switch to larger displays Apple, which was a change that the company was quite apprehensive about at first.

The first folding structure 

In 2019, it was once again Samsung who shook up the smartphone market with the launch of an original model Galaxy Fold. It seemed that at that time no one was innovating their products in any significant way and was just riding the wave of tablets with large displays. Year after year, we got more or less the same phones that didn't look or feel very different from each other. This was true for almost all phones with the system Android. Even the iPhones didn't look much different than their earlier iterations. Since it is strongly expected that Apple will introduce a cutout in the display instead of a cutout for the TrueDepth camera setup in its smartphones, it's only a matter of time before iPhones start looking like flagships Androidu.

Samsung opened our eyes to a new form factor that until then seemed to be only a part of Sci-Fi movies. The company took advantage of being the first player in this segment as well. The following year, it followed up on the first model with a duo of phones Galaxy From Flip a Galaxy From Fold2. Great models Galaxy From Flip3 and Galaxy They came from the Fold3 last year, and ended up selling more units than Samsung itself assumed.

Galaxy Z Flip4 and Z Fold4 

In the past three years, Samsung has more than proved the point of using its foldable smartphones. It showed that this form factor is not just a technological shot in the dark, and that it has incredible potential. These devices have improved significantly with each iteration, so much so that they are even water resistant. No other manufacturer can even match what Samsung has achieved in this segment so far (and for example Apple he has not been able to do anything here yet).

This gives us confidence in Samsung's ability to push the boundaries further. Models Galaxy From Fold4 a Galaxy They are due to appear from Flip4 next month. They won't be completely different devices, but rather Samsung will make small and fine-tuning improvements to them that will make its foldable devices a bit more capable.

What will be next? 

Some are already clamoring for the next big thing, seeing foldable phones as just another part of Samsung's offering. Now they want to see something completely different to get excited about smartphones again. And Samsung caters to them, as it is already releasing hints of what it might have in store for us.

Samsung's display arm, Samsung Display, has already shown off some of the futuristic display technology it's working on, such as a rollable display that will bring us a new kind of phone. There is also a reasonable one assumption, that we could expect the introduction of such a device from Samsung sometime next year.

Adding another form factor to its rich portfolio will allow Samsung to clearly differentiate itself from the competition. In this relentless pursuit of innovation, which the company undertakes, it must continue precisely in order to completely crush its rivals. Yes, these advancements will eventually find their way to other manufacturers as Samsung Display does sell its advanced displays to companies other than Samsung after all. But only one can set a trend, just like having the "First" label.
