And little by little, the manufacturer makes improvements to its screens foldable. For example, if the Galaxy Fold had a plastic screen, the Galaxy Z Flip uses a screen cover glass ultra-fine or UTG.
For the screens of its upcoming smartphones foldable, Samsung could collaborate with the specialist in Corning, according to a new rumor relayed by the site Sammobile.

For the moment, sales of smartphones foldable are not comparable to those of smartphones classic. However, if the manufacturers can sell this type of device less than 1000€, this could boost sales significantly.
