As diverse and varied as the smartphone industry might seem today, even more fascinating changes are coming to the market, and soon. Apple and Samsung phones in particular are going to see some very interesting upgrades.And, thanks to these two titans of the industry, other smartphone manufacturers are also adopting the new ideas being mulled over for the Galaxy and iPhone flagship models.

Foldable smartphones have mostly stuck to a tried and tested design, their external displays resemble a standard smartphone and they unfold to present a larger squarish display on the inside. It worked, but apart from the Huawei Pura X, there wasn’t much variety to be seen.
That changed this year and it will continue on for the foreseeable future. The Huawei Pura X Max launched in April with a wide-folding design, making it ideal for watching movies while also making it easier to navigate with one hand when folded.
If reports are accurate, then the new Samsung foldables will launch this July. Alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8, there is a new Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide, also being called the Galaxy Z Wide Fold. Like the Pura X Max, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide is also a horizontally folding smartphone.Lastly, Apple will be releasing the foldable iPhone Ultra later this year as well. The Huawei Pura X Max has been very popular and Samsung and Apple are betting heavily on this form factor taking off with customers.
So we’ve got new foldables to look forward to on the horizon, and I’m guessing that other phone manufacturers will follow suit if the new design sells well. Who knows, perhaps these foldables will surpass today’s traditional folding smartphones.
Speaking of other phone manufacturers following suit.
