Samsung Galaxy Fold SM-F900F 512GB
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.

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.
