WINNER Samsung Galaxy Fold

INNOVATION AWARD

The Samsung Galaxy Fold was one of the most important phone launches of 2019. It's a landmark phone, not just for Samsung but for the entire phone industry. Granted, it got off to a rocky start, but Samsung should be commended for swiftly taking action and correcting its course. More importantly, the Galaxy Fold will be remembered in history as being the first mass-market foldable phone, selling at least 400,000 units and that’s an impressive achievement.

It's also a showpiece, not just for foldable display technology, but what's possible if price was of no concern and all the latest in mobile and display technology were crammed into one phone. In short, it's a glimpse into the future. It's still early days yet for foldable displays and foldable phones but if foldable phones do take off in the near future, we all have the Galaxy Fold to thank.
