9 Sep
Summary
- Samsung encourages competition in the foldable phone market.
- Device weight is crucial for foldable phone user adoption.
- Samsung refined 270 components to reduce foldable phone weight.
Samsung has offered advice to rivals like Apple as they reportedly prepare to launch their first foldable iPhone. Samsung stated that competition is 'absolutely welcome' and highlighted that keeping foldable devices light is paramount for widespread user adoption.
The company stressed that integrating large inner screens and special hinges inherently adds weight. Samsung's extensive engineering process for its Galaxy Z Fold line involved refining approximately 270 core components to achieve a lighter device, now weighing around 201 grams.
Reports suggest Apple's anticipated foldable iPhone might weigh between 230 and 241 grams, potentially making it heavier than Samsung's current offerings. The company also reportedly targeted a price point of $1,999 for its foldable device.
