Samsung recently held an open-air concert featuring Yungblud, the the London Community Gospel Choir and digital artist Aries Moross. The entire event set outside Samsung KX in London's King's Cross was inspired by the brand's new foldable smartphones. The performance united three forms of art, referencing features of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 like its multi-window capabilities.
Set on a six-meter rotating stage, the live performance was also aesthetically styled to mimic the look and folding form of the phone.
To reach new audiences and get flat smartphone users thinking differently about their devices, Samsung is creating bold campaigns that express the unique features of the mobile phones that are defining new categories.
