Review By Expert: Samsung Presents the New Galaxy Fold:

Samsung has finally shed some light on its first foldable smartphone, last seen in less than ideal lighting conditions. The Samsung Galaxy Fold, as it's predictably called, switches from a 4.6-inch smartphone to a 7.3-inch tablet in the blink of an eye, and Android dynamically adapts to change content to suit the new aspect ratio.

If you are thinking "oh, that's not goes to the cheap," then you're completely right. The Samsung Galaxy Fold will start at $1,980 making the smartphone as a very much expensive as possible.

To be totally fair to Samsung, there is a lot of good technology that justifies the price. It combines a 7 nm processor with 12 GB of RAM, making it "one of the most powerful phones on the market". It comes with 512GB of UFS 3.0 flash storage, which according to the company means it will be twice as fast at reading data as most other phones. Equally, it has a lot of internal storage, as there is no microSD support.

Review By Expert: Samsung Presents the New Galaxy Fold: Features:

You might think that putting a single lithium ion battery into a tablet that folds would be a big mistake, and Samsung agrees, which is why the Galaxy Fold comes with two, one on each side of the fold, for a total capacity of 4,380 mAh The phone has six cameras in total: three on the back (16MP, ultra wide angle f/2).2; wide-angle 12MP, f / 1.5-f / 2.3; telephoto 12x 2x with optical zoom), two in the middle (10MP, f / 2.2; 8MP, f / 1.9 depth detection) and one in the front (10MP, f / 2.2).

The image above shows one of the innovations that take advantage of that extra space on the screen: now you can have three applications on the screen at the same time and it looked pretty effective on stage. We are less convinced by its closed look, where the screen seems to be considerably smaller and looks like a return to the old days of thick bezels.
