Earlier this week, Samsung announced the latest generation of its high-end foldable phones at its Summer Galaxy Unpacked event. The Galaxy Z Fold7 and the Galaxy Z Flip7 are variously lighter, thinner, and less crease-prone than before. WIRED writer Alistair Charlton called the show a “warning to the West,” as Chinese brands showed off innovation and scale that far surpasses what Western brands have managed in the same time. From the perspective of a shopper in the West, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 was beaten to the sub-9-mm foldable milestone by Chinese brand Honor. It announced its Magic V5 a week before Samsung’s Unpacked launch event, in timing that has an eye-roll-worthy schoolyard feel to it—particularly when it comes in just 0.1 millimeter thinner.
