Samsung has been bold with its latest generation of foldable phones, declaring that now is the time to move them to the mainstream and get regular smartphone owners using what it sees as the future of phones.

To do this, the Korean tech giant has foregone releasing a new version of its popular Note series of ‘phablet’ devices this year, instead announcing the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3, placing them front and centre of its device range.
