As we are aware of the fact that foldables are the future and Samsung has shifted its Galaxy Z series to its mainstream. While the “Z” is now a decent branding in the industry, Samsung has reportedly ditched it from its foldable phones in some European countries due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.

As per the latest information, the company is now selling new foldable smartphones such as the Galaxy Fold 3 and Galaxy Flip 3 in certain Eastern European regions like Estonia and Latvia.
However, it looks like the Korean tech giant is making sure that the Z branding would also be ditched from the units available in the retail market. Also, it’s reported that the company has also printed Galaxy Fold 3 and Galaxy Flip 3 boxes without Z branding.
Currently, Samsung is keeping the “Z” branding for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 in several Western markets, like the US and Latin America. Therefore, it looks like the company is trying to express its efforts against the Russian invasion of Ukraine by removing the Z sign that represents to Russian army.
Samsung has removed the ‘Z’ from its phones in certain European countries.
Z Fold/Flip3 are being sold as just Galaxy Fold3/Flip3.
Change could be due to symbol ‘Z’ representing Russian Army during the ongoing invasion in Ukraine. New retail boxes have been printed as well. pic.twitter.com/RvadGYN0Xi
