South Korean tech company Samsung has quietly dropped the letter 'Z' from its newest range of folding smart phones in several Eastern European countries, presumably for fear of being associated with Russian military forces.

Samsung had branded its newest phones as the 'Galaxy Z Fold 3' and 'Galaxy Z Flip 3', and had released a raft of promotional material with the letter 'Z' emblazoned on the devices.
