Original Story:The foldable phone space is heating up thanks to several recent high-profile releases including the Motorola Razr+ and the Pixel Fold. We don't expect Samsung to sit still, so we're excited to see what it has in store for its upcoming Unpacked event—and its invitation for you to "join the flip side" doesn't leave much room for interpretation other than the imminent launch of new foldable devices.

Apart from the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the Galaxy Z Fold 5, we expect Samsung to unveil new tablets and maybe even smartwatches at its Unpacked event in South Korea. But you don't need to be in Seoul to see what Samsung has to offer.

My Experience

I've been into technology for as long as I can remember. As a PCMag mobile writer, I get to test the newest phones and tablets. Since you rely on our buying advice, I make sure you get everything a manufacturer claims, which means lots of testing. This is your phone we're talking about; it's like a part of you. I've covered technology as a career for around two decades (yikes, I had to think about that). You've seen my work at The Apple Blog, PCMag (from my first go around), This Week in Tech, and CNET. I also occasionally produce independent video projects, including This Old Nerd, a how-to series that shows practical ways to get the most from your tech.

The Technology I Use

I use a 2023 M3 MacBook Pro customized with lots of keyboard shortcuts thanks to Raycast. Pixelmator Pro is my go-to photo editing application because there is no subscription, and I'm trapped with Evernote because I've used it forever.

I'm between phones at the moment, but I use a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 now, and used a Z Fold 6 before that. Considering that I like to have multiple windows open at once, the large inner screen of folding phones can show a baseball game on the top while I keep a chat app and Reddit open beneath. I do miss being able to write on the Z Fold 7's screen, though, which has me eyeing a Galaxy S25 Ultra.

My home is semi-smart, with many Google Home products that I thoroughly enjoyed in the pre-Gemini days. Be warned: smart bulbs are a gateway drug into smart home life.
