Following its Galaxy Unpacked event in London, Samsung opened the doors to The Fold Inn, a unique pub in London inspired by its newest foldable devices. At this foldable-themed pop-up, Samsung offered a twist on the traditional pub experience to highlight the creativity and versatility of the latest Galaxy Z Fold designs.
The Fold Inn naturally featured a folded bar serving bespoke drinks, each concocted to match the personality and purpose of a different device through the lens of a London area—like The Soho Sipper, inspired by the Galaxy Z Fold8, or The Shoreditch Pint, influenced by the Galaxy Z Flip8. And The Fold Inn's The City Pour serve, crafted "for the productivity pros," channels the ease of multitasking with Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra.
