Samsung removed the letter Z symbol from its foldable phone products.
REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA — It is rumored that Samsung will no longer use the designation of the Z series for its foldable smartphones and will refer to the two phones as Samsung Galaxy Fold4 and Galaxy Flip4 for some European countries. The change was reported by Gizmo China, Tuesday (2/8/2022), originating from information that says there is no longer the letter Z on the boxes of Samsung’s latest folding phones.
Samsung’s reason for removing the letter Z from its products is to avoid accusations and anticipate that the company will not be linked to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. According to technology leaker Snoopytech, it is known that the Russian military uses the letter Z as a symbol of its existence in the fight against Ukraine and therefore Samsung decided to no longer refer to their series of smart folding phones as Galaxy Z.
This information is reinforced by the circulation of images showing Russian military vehicles that have the symbol Z, although it doesn’t look very clear. Some netizens think that the Z symbol refers to the abbreviation of the word “za pobedu” which means victory.
The deletion of the Z series name is confirmed to have begun in Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. The same is also done on the new Galaxy Fold 3 and Flip3 phones which no longer have the capital Z as a marker for Samsung’s foldable smartphone series.
Samsung will soon introduce the Galaxy Flip 4 and Fold 4 on August 10 at the Samsung unpacked event. The foldable phone is expected to bring significant improvements in terms of display, battery and performance. Both devices are rumored to be equipped with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC.
