We are watching the rumors for a long time. We previously brought the news that Samsung could launch its new foldable device by the end of the current year that could feature a 7.6-inch display on the foldable pallet of Galaxy Z Fold 4.
Competition between Google and Samsung foldable?
Looking at the present scenario there does not seems to be any competition between Google and Samsung. We are aware of this because Google is the new player and Samsung is the old one. Samsung has already launched its foldable device in the previous and present year 2022.
On the other hand, Google is new in this field, it does not have any experience in making foldable devices till now. Previously we have seen the rumors that Google can soon launch a foldable smartphone. But according to the latest business Korea reports, published in February 2022 have disclosed that due to unsuccessful attempts, and difficulties in making a foldable display, it has dropped the idea of making a foldable smartphone.
Samsung is an inspiration for Google foldable?
Google’s idea of entering the foldable phone market might have come after the successful launch of Galaxy Z Fold and Flip 3 which were launched in August last year. Samsung Electronics is working since 2019 in this field and has launched its first prototype in 2011. Samsung is progressively working on enhancing the water and dust proofing capabilities along with the tri-fold display technology.

According to the news from some company insiders, Samsung has already registered the patent for its trifold technology in February 2022 and could be in the process to launch new foldable smartphones any time during the present year.
