Analyst Ross Young is pleased with new information about the future launch of Samsung’s Fold 4 and Flip 4, which according to his sources should be produced on a larger scale this year and at an even more attractive price.
Foldable smartphones are really on track to last Samsung† Well established in the growing foldable smartphone market, the Korean brand is gearing up to hit hard this year with the successors to its Z-fold 3 and Z Flip 3 and would be preparing behind the scenes for a much-fancied launch before the end of 2022.
