Even the first generation Galaxy foldable phone did not have ‘Z’ branding, it was known as Galaxy Fold. The company has introduced ‘Z’ with its second generation foldable phones – Galaxy Z Fold 2 and Galaxy Z Flip 5G. It sounds big, however, and it’s good that the company is planning to simplify the names of the foldable.
The tipster further states that Samsung is doing this because the Russian military is using this letter. Indeed, the letter Z has become a war symbol for Russia and is hand-painted on the country’s tanks and trucks. And, by removing the Z from the name of the foldable phone, Samsung is trying to express its action against Russia.
Samsung Electronics tries to get rid of the "Z" letter in their folding phone series. Starting with Flip/Fold 4, the letter won't be printed on the boxes anymore. That's because Russian military is using the letter.
