For Samsung to take foldable devices mainstream three things need to happen: Better cameras, more durability and lower prices.
Samsung is betting that it can make its pair of foldable devices–Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3–mainstream flagship devices, but will need to perfectly balance performance, durability and price. At Samsung’s August Unpacked event, the consumer electronics giant is expected to make its case for foldables, which represent the company’s focus in the years to come. Samsung should have its Z Fold and Z Flip devices refined enough to warrant consideration. Let’s face it: The first versions of Samsung’s foldable devices were glorified betas. The latest revs of Samsung’s foldable devices improved dramatically, but still required too many concessions for a high price point. The rule of thumb is that the third versions of new products are solid enough for the masses. Enter Samsung and its foldable ecosystem with S Pen support.
