Samsung has had the foldables smartphone segment to itself for a couple of years. Can 2023 change that?

Gadgets 360 reviews editor Roydon Cerejo and senior reviewer Sheldon Pinto join Orbital host Akhil Arora to talk about just that.

We discuss all the expected announcements in 2023, from the rumoured Pixel Fold to Samsung’s next generation of the Z Fold and Z Flip.

Along the way, we touch upon their pros and cons, and wonder what’s keeping the likes of Oppo and Vivo from entering the Indian foldables market.

But that’s not all for this episode — there’s one more thing.

An announcement from Orbital: Arora, who has hosted the flagship Gadgets 360 podcast for the last two years, is stepping away.
