Google’s Android president on Apple iPhone Duo: ‘Android is usually where you see the future first’
Google isn’t scared of the iPhone Duo. And the president of Android Sameer Samat explains why
Sameer Samat, president of Android Ecosystem at Google, expressed his enthusiasm for Apple's upcoming iPhone Duo foldable phone. Samat acknowledged that the iPhone Duo is arriving a bit late to the foldable phone party, given that the first Galaxy Fold launched in 2019. However, he firmly believes that Android is where the future of foldable phones is being shaped.
He praised the Galaxy Z Fold 8, which he uses frequently, stating that it significantly enhances his productivity. Despite the Galaxy Z Fold 8 being an Android device, Samat is confident that Apple's entry into the foldable market will boost interest in the category and lead to more app development for larger displays. Apple's push for developer support for foldable devices could create a competitive advantage, potentially swaying developers to optimize their apps for the iPhone Duo.
