    Foldables Are the Future, Says CEO JB Park as AI and Compact Design Take Center Stage<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \n

    Bengaluru, August 5, 2025: <\/strong>Samsung\u2019s latest range of foldable smartphones has struck a chord with Indian consumers, with pre-orders crossing 2.1 lakh units<\/strong> in just the first 48 hours after launch. The unprecedented demand has led to stockouts in select markets<\/strong>, underscoring India\u2019s growing appetite for premium, cutting-edge technology.<\/p>\n

    The new lineup \u2013 Galaxy Z Fold7, Z Flip7, and the more affordable Z Flip7 FE<\/strong> \u2013 was unveiled globally on July 9, 2025<\/strong>, and is being manufactured at Samsung\u2019s Noida plant<\/strong>. Indian engineers at the company’s R&D hub in Bengaluru<\/strong> played a crucial role in developing these seventh-generation foldables.<\/p>\n

    India: The Growth Engine for Samsung<\/h3>\n

    In light of the strong consumer response, JB Park, President and CEO of Samsung Southwest Asia<\/strong>, called India a \u201cstrategic market with immense potential<\/strong>\u201d and a critical part of the company\u2019s global roadmap.<\/p>\n

    \n

    \u201cIndia is a key pillar in Samsung\u2019s future. The growth we\u2019re seeing here is aligned with transformative national programs like Make in India<\/strong> and Digital India<\/strong>,\u201d Park said.
    \u201cSamsung continues to invest heavily in innovation, manufacturing, and local value addition<\/strong>, supporting India\u2019s journey toward self-reliance.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Samsung currently operates two manufacturing plants, three R&D centers, and one design center<\/strong> in India, a testament to its long-standing commitment to the region.<\/p>\n

    Innovation Built by Indians, for the World<\/h3>\n

    The company highlighted that the new foldables were built with significant contributions from Indian talent<\/strong>, particularly engineers based in Bengaluru. The devices are optimized not just for form factor, but also to harness the power of artificial intelligence<\/strong> in mobile usage.<\/p>\n

    \n

    \u201cThe Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7<\/strong> offer expansive displays that make them ideal platforms for AI-powered productivity and entertainment. These are the best mobile devices for AI experiences<\/strong>, designed for the future,\u201d Park noted.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Shrinking the Smartphone, Expanding Possibilities<\/h3>\n

    Park also shed light on Samsung\u2019s philosophy behind foldable innovation \u2013 making large screens more portable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \n

    \u201cWhen smartphones first hit 5 inches, we thought that was big. Now displays are 6.9 inches or more \u2013 great for media, but hard to carry and handle<\/strong>. So, we flipped and folded them. It’s a trend we pioneered, and one the rest of the industry is now following,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    As the market matures, Park believes foldables will redefine how people experience mobile technology.<\/p>\n
