The Galaxy Fold is a headline-grabbing release from Samsung. There was much speculation about the device before it was released, but now we know the full details there'll be even more talk! Here's why the Galaxy Fold is making the news.


Double display

On the cover of the Galaxy Fold is a 4.6-inch HD+ Super AMOLED Display...but when you unfold the device a wonderful 7.3-inch QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED Display reveals itself in larger than life tablet form.


Fold and fold again

A special material is required to handle all that folding, and unfolding, without things falling apart. In the case of the Galaxy Fold, it's called Infinity Flex Display, an ultrathin polymer featuring a revolutionary adhesive developed by Samsung. This laminates the phone's many display layers allowing them to flex and fold hundreds of thousands of times.


Six sexy cameras

There are six cameras on the Galaxy Fold: three in the back, two on the inside and one on the cover. The same sensors we see on the Galaxy S10 phones are at your disposal in this device and they include: Dual front camera consisting of 10MP selfie camera and 8MP RGB depth camera. Triple rear camera consisting of 12MP telephoto camera, 12MP wide-angle camera and 16MP ultra wide camera.


All round power

The Galaxy Fold is no gimmick. Sure, that folding feature is a real attention grabber but this is a seriously high-powered device delivering exceptional performance. Those two displays need real power which comes via a 4380mAh Fast Charging battery, compatible on wired and wireless, and the awesome

A newer model Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G SM-F916B 256GB was released in September 2020.

Samsung Galaxy Fold review

Using the tiny OLED on the front of the device is not a great experience, but it does keep you from having to constantly unfold when you're on the go. At 4.6 inches it's roughly the size and resolution of the display on 2012's Galaxy SIII, though skinnier, and trying to type on it made my fingers...

The Galaxy Fold delivers a ‘wow’ factor that no other phone offers today, and yet we’d only recommend it to early adopters with a penchant for impressing their peers, and who have money to burn.
Pros:
  • Supremely cool form factor, Gaming taken to the next level, Samsung's biggest battery
Cons:
  • Outrageously expensive, Vulnerable plastic screen
