It’s always felt to me like there’s a threshold foldables need to hit before they can truly become mainstream: they need to be no bigger than a regular old phone.
And now Samsung has finally gotten its flagship there with the Z Fold 7, which is just barely thicker than an iPhone 16 Pro.
I got to see one in the office this week, and I couldn’t take my eyes off of it.
This week on The Vergecast, Vee Song and Allison Johnson join me to talk all about Samsung’s new foldables and smartwatches.
Lots to discuss: AI web browsers, Lorde’s see-through CD, and HBO Max finally does the thing we’ve all been waiting for.
