Are foldable phones the wave of the future? Color me skeptical, but Samsung apparently seems to think so. Earlier this week at the company’s Unpacked event, Samsung officially unveiled its long-rumored foldable smartphone, a device appropriately dubbed the Galaxy Fold. Boasting a 7.3-inch display when completely open and a 4.6-inch display when folded up, the device is undeniably intriguing. Still, it remains to be seen if the Galaxy Fold will spearhead a new trajectory of smartphone innovation or simply be nothing more than a laughable novelty a’la Google Glass.
Naturally, the Galaxy Fold has prompted some pundits to heap praise upon Samsung for innovating while simultaneously blasting Apple for being boring. Interestingly enough, Apple, believe it or not, has published patents pertaining to foldable iPhone designs. What’s more, a Bank of America analyst last year said that Apple has been busy working on a foldable iPhone that could see the light of day as early as 2020.
