Does it still work in 2026? Back to 2000 there was no groundbreaking changes, so LG Prada tried to sell the brand instead of technology.
Following the long gone logic, instead of making a tech object with a proper camera set up, vapor chamber, a competitive battery and charging technology, Samsung decided to wrap this mediocre phone in a fashion brand wrapper. Do really young "creator-t-short" generation care about old fashion clothing brands, do they even know them by name....
I'm from the older gen, all my cloth are made in Italy and have fancy brands on them, and yet I would never relate a shirts/pants brand to an electronic device, rather exactly the opposite, Gucci phone is a caricature, I wouldn't show up with even if I get paid for the circus.
Samsung seems to want to keep the Galaxy Z Fold 8 momentum going, as rumors suggest a luxury brand collab is being planned. There are a few contenders, so it is unclear exactly what special edition phone we will see later this year.
