Google versus Samsung: Foldable phone designs hit the refresh button

In July this year, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 showcased everything that artificial intelligence (AI) can do to enhance the smartphone experience of a foldable phone. Yet, the brand kept the design consistent with what it has established: a polished metal body, with a super-tall form factor that gives the Z Fold 6 a distinct baton-like design. This, however, was upended when the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold entered the fray earlier this month.
