Samsung Electronics announced on August 10 that it will operate a permanent exhibition space called 'Foldable Heritage,' showcasing seven years of innovation in Galaxy foldable technology.
Starting today, the exhibition will be available at Samsung Store Gangnam on the third floor, as well as at stores in Hongdae and Cheongdam. The exhibit is divided into three sections: the 'Galaxy Fold & Flip' story, the design story, and the tech story.
Visitors can explore the timeline of the lineup, starting from the first inward-folding model, the 'Galaxy Fold,' released in 2019, to the world's first three-foldable device, the 'Galaxy Z Trifold,' and the recently launched 'Galaxy Z Fold8 and Flip8' series.
The design story section features sketches and mock-up tests of new products, revealing the development process behind achieving optimal screen ratios and designs. The tech story section showcases the evolution of displays and hinges, along with videos demonstrating durability tests for folding, water resistance, and shock resistance.
The exhibit highlights the 'Flex Titanium' technology of the 'Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra and Fold8' and includes a disassembly display that emphasizes advancements in thickness reduction, wrinkle improvement, and precision component design. Various durability test videos conducted during the development process are also presented.
Park Jeong-mi, Vice President of Samsung Electronics Korea, stated, "Foldable Heritage is a space that embodies Samsung's seven years of innovation and technology in pioneering a new category. I hope visitors can experience the technological innovations and challenges that will lead the future of foldables firsthand."
