Consumers gain access to S Pen productivity features across more device categories at various price points, reducing exclusivity of premium features. Foldable device adoption may accelerate with improved functionality and thinner designs, though at premium price segments.
Potential regulatory scrutiny on display technology safety (under-display cameras), battery efficiency standards for foldable devices, and e-waste management for complex multi-screen devices. May influence tech standards development for emerging foldable form factors.
