Samsung unveils latest generation of foldable phones

Samsung declared “the future is foldable” as the technology giant unveiled its latest generation of folding phones.

The South Korean firm opted against launching a new version of its popular Galaxy Note large-screen device this year and instead announced the flexible-screened Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 in its newest shake-up.

Featuring toughened glass and a high degree of water resistance, the Fold3 device is the newest of the foldable devices.

While the Flip3 smartphone - which folds into a palm-sized square - boasts Samsung's strongest aluminium frame yet and will be sold at a lower price than its predecessor, the Flip.
