Samsung Launches New Foldable Phones Ahead of Apple's Expected Entry

Samsung Launches New Foldable Phones Ahead of Apple's Expected EntryPreviousNext

Samsung recently launched three new foldable smartphones—the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Z Flip 8—featuring design updates like a wider cover display. These releases precede Apple's anticipated foldable iPhone, expected around September, which analysts believe could boost consumer confidence and accelerate market growth in India's emerging foldable segment. While Samsung currently dominates with about 89% market share, Apple's entry is seen as a potential catalyst for wider adoption amid a slowing overall smartphone market.
