Samsung introduced the Galaxy Z Flip 7 in Riyadh, highlighting a flat hinge that lets the phone close completely flat, a larger cover screen for quick interactions, and lightweight yet durable materials that maintain a premium feel while keeping the device pocket‑friendly.

HONOR unveiled the Magic V6, also in Riyadh, emphasizing an expansive foldable display that supports multitasking and AI assistance, seamless integration with existing Apple, Windows and Android ecosystems, and robust durability features such as IP68/69 protection and a steel hinge.
