YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Samsung may have just signaled a turning point for foldables.

At this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the brand unveiled its new trifold device — and it sold out within its first week. But the bigger story isn’t scarcity. It’s momentum.

In this video, Forbes Vetted consumer tech editor Rebecca Isaacs shares her hands-on impressions from CES, where she tested the latest foldable innovations from Samsung, Lenovo, Motorola and more. From ambitious new hardware designs to noticeably refined software experiences, 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for the category.

Have foldables finally moved beyond novelty? And more importantly: Are they ready to replace the slab phone for good?

Watch Rebecca’s full breakdown and let us know where you land.
