Three-way race unfolds for foldable supremacy

Samsung, Google, and Apple are all preparing to launch their next-generation foldable smartphones, intensifying competition in the premium phone market. Samsung plans to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Flip8 at its Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22, with speculation that it may introduce a wider foldable model. Google is set to release the Pixel 11 Pro Fold at its Made by Google event on August 12, featuring a slimmer design. Apple is expected to debut its first foldable iPhone alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September, though there are rumors the standard iPhone 18 might be delayed. Pricing is becoming a key differentiator, with Samsung reportedly keeping the Galaxy Z Fold8 around $2,000, Google’s Pixel 11 Pro Fold starting at approximately $1,800, and Apple’s foldable iPhone potentially competing with Samsung’s rumored wider model.
