The evolution of the foldable line
The eagerly awaited Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 will also be protagonists on the Parisian stage.

The company must demonstrate how new features will be integrated into not only the new foldables and the ring, but also how they talk to each other to create a more cohesive and intelligent user experience.
