Earlier this week we heard news thatSamsungs rumored tri-fold phonefinally has a name.
Its definitely not the name I would have picked if I were heading up Samsungs marketing department.
Then again, the name I would have picked has already been taken.
The main selling point of the tri-fold phone is the fact that it has three screens.
Whats in the name?
I never understood why Samsung chose Z as the letter to differentiate its foldable lineup.
I get the reason why Samsung added a letter after the release of the original Galaxy Fold.
The letter is the identity of the phone, or at least it is for Samsung.
Galaxy V Fold, or V Flip, for example.
Honestly I dont even know what that last part even means.
Maybe Samsung was more in tune with the cultural zeitgeist than I was back in early 2020.
Or maybe it just picked Z because its a very foldable-looking letter.
So things haven’t quite worked out in the G Folds favor.
Or an N, which is basically a Z that fell over.
Admittedly none of Samsungs phone names make much sense.
Theres just as much logic being used with that name as there is with all the rest i.e.
And yet I cant help but wonder why Samsung couldnt be a littlemetawith its naming conventions.
