Samsung has envisioned a future where foldable smartphones are the go-to for years now. It used to be a pipe dream, but now the company’s in its third iteration for not just one model, but two. And today, Samsung has just unveiled the newest versions of its foldable smartphones, along with a brand new smartwatch and truly wireless headphones.
Typically in August, Samsung’s Unpacked event would be focusing entirely on a new Galaxy Note smartphone. But not this year. Instead, the company has its sights firmly set on what it believes is the future of smartphones and how it’s still pushing the envelope in this area. This time around, Samsung says its newest foldable phones are more durable than before, which is a good thing considering the larger model, the Galaxy Z Fold 3, supports Samsung’s stylus.
So, here’s what Samsung announced today.
