A one-minute advertisement posted by Samsung Vietnam shows a tantalizing glimpse of what could be the next Galaxy Foldable, mixed with the Galaxy S10 and a bunch of unknown futuristic technologies.

After that we discover that the artist is actually painting on a woman’s back remotely, using a tattooing robot (which is a bizarre thing to include in a branding video, but hey). More
