The foldable device of your dreams is likely not that far on the horizon
The Z Fold 4 comes with a (separately sold) S Pen and no built-in stylus silo.
Because the Galaxy Z Fold 4 was “initially” meant to include a dedicated S Pen slot (and, of course, the stylus itself as standard), its sequel is extremely likely to make this change happen. The obvious problem is that any extra component or built-in accessory is all but guaranteed to add heft to a mobile device or at least make it incredibly hard to retain (let alone improve) battery capacity without increasing the overall weight.
Huge market growth ahead
Speaking of the mainstream tech scene, it’s interesting to point out that foldables make up a microscopic 1 percent of the total smartphone market right now, a number that is however expected to continue growing at an unrivaled pace over the next few years.
Foldables might soon become the main growth driver of the entire smartphone market.
That obviously doesn’t sound like a massive threat to the wide-scale popularity of the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip handset lineups in the short (or even long) term, which allows Samsung to remain optimistic about capitalizing on the 80 percent CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of the overall foldable segment through at least 2025. In other words, the company expects to sell a boatload of foldables in the next three years (and possibly beyond).
