The New Samsung Galaxy Fold Just Got Released In Australia $3000 AUD What A F***kin🤬RIP OFF 💩💩💩 Not Worth The Price Just For A Phone More Expensive Than the iPhone 📱11 Pro Max For $3000 You Can Buy A Nice Big 4K Ultra HD Smart TV Or A Laptop or Desktop With High End Specifications

Dcompanyco

Amazing phone before buying I even thought about the screen and faults but trust me this phone is in different level every one asking me about the phone who looks at it I am happy and satisfied the price they offer .

NickNameNick

If I could afford $2365 for that phone, $50 doesn't mean a lot. The people who buy Bugatti, they don't care that is $1000 cheaper or not. Same thing.

Samsung need to pay attention to the dimensions of the 21:9 Xperia 4. That's what they should be aiming for as the cover screen. The max width of the phone folded should be 65mm, but if they want to keep that trimmer, that's fine too. It's possible to make a large screen on a tall skinny device with minimal footprint that unfolds into a decent-sized mini tablet.

Ziko

Too expensive and not practical (for me, I mean). Still, Samsung is the best phone manufacturer.

seems like the folding screen requires the protective screen layers to work properly, a lot of people rip it off thinking it is just some useless film without reading instructions, Samsung has made official statement saying the will put more warnings to not peel off the protective screen layer. In other words, people dont read instructions and peel off part of the display using force.

With a Screen Size of 7.3 and 855 snapdragon with 12 GB Ram, it is a computer replacement. Why wouldn't you give it a memory slot for SD card for storage extension? Power hungry device without the big stomach to store data. Guess I will have to wait till the next foldable with Card slot.

Also waiting for Phone Dimensions. I make pockets in my shirts & pants to fit phone snugly. Have been waiting for great flip phone; this Fold is better.

Yes! And Samsung failed at delivering an updated and modern communicator. I'm telling you, if Nokia has learnt their lessons right, they still have a better chance at this.

SAMSUNG did that already - Galaxy Fold. If NOKIA make it again, many peoples will say NOKIA is copying SAMSUNG.

D45

True! Samsung is quickly towing the Vertu path.

vnguy

Samsung Galaxy Fold is the next smart "flip" phone - Nokia in 1997 just called and they want their patent design back!

D45

They still very much have a chance at remaking the Communicator series.

Chee Khuan

I see. That time, NOKIA still stick with Symbian and think that it is the best and the only one. If NOKIA has changed to Android like what SAMSUNG did that time, I believe NOKIA still exist now.

D45

Probably when they stop hiding it and allow human beings to actually touch and use it for hours (like the Huawei Mate X) and release its dimensions and weight (again like Huawei Mate X) then we will see a comparison with the Nokia Communicator series and YOU will see what copycat means.

Notta

I don't think you really have any idea of what copycat means...

No (if only nokia was smart enough). I was only saying IF the 9210i had android, it would be better value for money than a $2000 copycat "fold"

Even this (with android) is better value for money than the "fold" at $2000.

Now is 2019, not 2009. And the price for this SAMSUNG Fold is 2,000 Dollar, not 200 Dollar. SAMSUNG use more than five years time to develop this phone, which I believe is a replica of previous NOKIA 9300 communicator.

houli

I agree with you 100%

Neo

That's my point! You can't even place two thumbs on it let alone type an sms or anything. You end up having to unfold the "phone" for everything except pick calls - basically 98% of your activities will need you unfolding. The hinge will wear in no time. Its basically a small tablet with a notifier on the back ... for $2000??

Phiscaliz

I calculated the dimensions from the image and screen measurements... The tablet is 11.6 cm by 15.62 cm. Phone is 5.8 cm by 15.62 cm. Screen of phone is 4.48 cm by 10.7 cm. It's REALLY small.

Neo

Mate X is better in every way and well worth the price ( With 5G)

Silver 001

I'd choose the samsung fold over that one . But in a way the mate x is the better phone ,with a proper screen on the front. I guess flodable phones r not ready yet for common ppl

Neo

The Huawei Mate X is good value for money

Neo

I'm very Happy for you BUT I'm not sure its possible to do anything on a 4.6" screen with a weird and narrow screen ratio that can't even accommodate two thumbs on the screen. not for anything more than $100.

Silver 001

The front screen is ugly and why would anyone want a phone like that? And wow would u look at that,a notch😂,the floding phones r sooo impractical ,i guess its just for the sake of making sth new

youkidding

Do you remember the first I phone? it has 3.5-inch display and no problem to use it. 4.6 inches will be totally OK

Neo

Keyword; Phone! The folded form gives a below average and non-usable (by todays standard) "phone" - which due to its very narrow screen ratio makes it impossible to thumb type an SMS, WhatsApp message, email or anything on Social media. The unfolded form gives a 7.2" "tablet" with which screen ratio makes it a small tablet that has barely enough screen real estate to view a webpage in deaktop mode. To do anything like send an sms, reply an sms, send an email, reply an email, send or reply a WhatsApp, Telegram Message, or even do any social media viewing, commentary or even view a webpage, you MUST unfold thia device and that would mean 95% of the time - that will increase the wear and tear on the hinge mechanism and screen area in the folded part and end up an expensive ownership cost. This is what makes the Huawei Mate X better as when folded, you can do 95% of what is required on a phone and a smartphone with it folded and would ONLY need to unfold rarely (just like using an android tablet). Hence the prolonged life of the device and hinge mechanism and overall efficiency. The Galaxy fold should be avoided

Luxor

Note 9 is already in large phablet category. I dont see any merit in making foldable that size when folded. Why we need foldables in the first place is because we want a compact device opened up to a big device. The huawei design is pretty and all and that the only credit I give. Functionality wise Samsung have the upper hand. We want a foldable phone. Keyword; phone. Phone that can be folded smaller that its original phablet size.

Anonymous

samsugi is betAr

Anonymous

U sure that screen will be scratchless after a week or two??

Neo

... because the folded screen ratio makes it the size of a Note 9 ( only even with more screen real estate and better features) and when unfolded, it gives a tablet mode 8" screen size (different screen ratio) with awesome speakers and features This gives you a flagship phone folded and a tablet unfolded. Unlike the 9210 revamp offered by fold with a useless folded screen

Neo

The Huawei will last longer, more useful screen when folded and outperform the Fold even with the 12gb ram

Luxor

Well said. When it comes to Samsung their device actually answered the question, "Why we need foldable phone?". Ask that to Huawei. Idk what they doing with a large 6.6" phone unfolded into 8" tablet. Why do you even make foldable dear Huawei? Why do we need it?

Jameden

Wow! 12GB of RAM! We've come a long way since a long time ago!

Neo

After watching the actual handling videos of this device and the videos by Samsung for its fold I looked at the options offered and practicality of these phones; The Huawei Mate X when folded gives you a full smart phone with 6.6" which by all standards is enough for all smartphone use scenarios. it also gives you all what their flagship phones have to offer including media consumption, emails, social media, etc. When unfolded it basically gives you an 8" tablet with all tablet features and awesome speakers. This tablet mode for most users will be 25% (or less) of the time as the folded form is more than enough for most users. This factor will reduce need for unfolding constantly and help reduce wear and tear. So in summary, you have a huge screen flagship smartphone and a flagship tablet when folded and unfolded respectively. Samsung Galaxy fold on the other hand when folded offers a below average and non-usable (by todays standards) smartphone with a 4.6" screen and a ratio that makes it a tad better than a feature phone. When unfolded, it gives a 7.2" screen which is not exactly a tablet and borders a big screen phone territory in a very uncomfortable way. In otherwords, to type an sms or WhatsApp message, you have to unfold the device, to send an email or do anything on social media, you have to unfold the device. The folded form is only good for calls and can't be used conveniently to thumb type (basically a feature phone). its essentially a touch enabled Nokia 9210i giving you a folded option which is a feature phone and an unfolded option which is an oversized smartphone. Most importantly, an unfortunate buyer will end up unfolding it 90% of the time which will quickly wear the hinge mechanism and eventually result in a very expensive repair and ownership cost. The Huawei Mate X is value for money while the Galaxy fold is a 1980's tech enthusiast's fantasy.

Necromancer

Foldable Device (in this case Galaxy Fold) without a built in stylus (like Note Series) is wothless... I like Samsung devices... but seriously.... This amount of cash without an S-Pen lookalike (It's a a tablet if you open it in the long run). So it is crap at the current state. I hope at some later generation they will upgrade it.

Reasons for picking fold vs huawei's X. 1. Inward folding, protect your bigger screen compared to outward folding. (So basically you can still get glass tempered screen protector for front screen. huawei x will have a harder time to get screen protector. 2. Multiple Camera placement, take selfie / photo in any configuration. 3. Due to inward folding, samsung is able to place reverse charging on the other side. So you can charge your watch / bt earphone when folded. 4. Cheaper price. 5. Higher memory compared to huawei. 12gb vs 8gb. * means little IMO. 6. One hand operation easier on Fold, due to smaller screen, and larger bezels. In terms of looks, Huawei looks good. But when it comes to functional use, I feel Samsung got it right.

I like this phone it’s like two phone together and it have soild build bulky body for more protection although I am not fun of the notch on the right side, I like the small body (flipped mode) makes it easy to carry around

You can say that because you have not experience. Try experiencing before you conclude.

u71n4444

A couple things not mention. Scratches. With the outside screen and especially at the corners on the Huawei phone it is bound to get scratches at some point. BAD. Also you cant put a cover or any type of protector on the phone. BAD. At least with the Samsung phone its closed while in your pocket so all the precious screen is somewhat protected. Just my 2 cent.

For some persons, they charge phone once a day, normally at night. It is hard to experience fast charge and must to be paid for it.

People are forgetting that the galaxy fold is 600 dollars cheaper than mate x. So it having a lesser powered charger and battery than mate x is not unreasonable. With regard to design though both inward fold and outfold designs will be the two main designs for foldable phones in the future. Other designs will also be there, but for horizontal folding phones, these two kinds of design will be main in my opinion. And both phones are extremely impressive, innovative and awesome. The phones are trendsetters. But for now though i think samsungs phone is more suitable for real world use i think for majority of people.

K

ron amedaro who made that galaxy fold mock video is not bright. He got so overwhelmed by the mate x's more colorful screen and thinness that he forgot to notice how practical the galaxy fold's design is. Mate x design is good too but as its screen folds outside, it will be good after say a couple of years when foldable screens become more durable in real world use.

Chee Khuan

According to the information here, the charger for SAMSUNG Fold is 18W, not 20W. In my opinion, SAMSUNG'S technology is at the maximum point already for both of the hardware and software. Look at the charger, HUAWEI already give a 55W charger to the Mate X. But SAMSUNG still give a less than 20W charger only. For the UI, SAMSUNG need the assistance from Android engineers to help them to optimise (from Experience UI to One UI). And also special optimise for this Fold. But HUAWEI just do all the things themselves.

Imperator Neubaticus

There's nothing interesting about the Huawei mate x. It's just a piece of tablet that folds awkwardly into a phone with back to back screens. No worthwhile change to the way you handle a smartphone. And the only thing they can advertise is yet another jab at bezelless screens. Pathetic and a huge waste of money. It's a laughable attempt at best. Have to give them props for ambition, however, even if everyone knows the mate x is going to be a flop. Just like the mate 20 pro and the mate 20 x. In the end, huawei's best bet is still the honor line. Put that into perspective and it's easy to see nobody truly cares about huawei flagships. Sad but true.

good phone much much better than huawei in terms of specs

LUL nice try

Comparison between Huawei Mate x and Samsung Galaxy Fold 1 As a phone,Huawei has a 6.8 inches ture bezel-less screen while Samsung just has a 4.6 inches screen with 4 ridiculous huge bezel from a decade ago 2 As a pad,Huawei is bezel-less once again while Samsung has a cut-off on the top right of the screen looks weird 3 for foldable ability ,Huawei could be fold completely due to its the 3-year developed hinges composed of 100 small mechanical parts,so its gap free while Samsung has a gap between the screens when it’s fold,which make it thick and not even flat as a phone 4 Huawei is 5.4 mm thick as a pad and 11 mm as a phone while Samsung is 6.9mm and ridiculous 17mm as a phone cause it has a gap between two screens!! 5 Huawei has 4500 mah battery while Samsung only 4320 mah 6 Huawei 55W charge (fastest in the world ) speed and the charger is common to ur matebook or macbook. While Samsung is 20W . 7 Huawei’s total design is more natural to use fold open and hold,while the triangle Samsung is more like putting a small screen on the back of a pad,not friendly to common people’s habit 8 Huawei made a special protection case for it,which Samsung did not. While they both use plastic screen,the problem with plastic some Samsung fans claim is even worse on Samsung cause its not even flat when fold remember?Samsung is desperately hiding it and only show it through vids with dark light (check #10:39 #11:15 #11:18 of the announcement vids u still see the plastic reflection)and so on,nobody has seen the phone in person ,while Huawei as least allow all the journalist watch and shoot the phone closely .guess who is more bothered by the plastic screen problems?not gonna mention better 5g and so on.

wasting money it does not bring some thing new they just withroww our money for things we do not need

amitbarua003

Between Samsung Fold and Huawei Mate x , I like this galaxy fold most. First of all, you dont need a bigger screen when you talk or travelling. So you can use the basic screen. And for entertainment and multitasking you can switch to the bigger one. Most users will worry about its durability. I think having the big screen inside is much more safer than the outside. Also the look is more gorgeous!! Only thing i dont like is camera. In this price it should have more higher camera.

Actually, Samsung's implementation is much practical and better, it is more narrow even if it's chunky, although it needs a bigger screen when folded. Huawei's foldable phone is also good when or when not folded but the screen is prone to breakage and scratches. And as of now Samsung Galaxy Fold looks more premium than the Mate X

apxrb

What's the point of having a separate screen for the phone mode? Why do they have to make the foldable tablet screen to fold inwards, instead of outwards? Such a waste of foldable screen technology, and a waste of space as well. Huawei's implementation is way better, it represents the foldable display technology in a correct way

True! When the phone is fold, it's like an ancient phone with big bezel. What a waste!

Why won't Samsung let us see its foldable phone? ---------------------------- Samsung may have just unveiled the most exciting new phone in years. Or, it may have unveiled a nearly $2,000 disappointment that just so happens to have a flexible display. Let's talk about the crease. If you watch Samsung's demos closely, you can clearly make out an unsightly crease that runs right down the center of the display when it's folded out in "tablet mode." The crease may be a necessary evil, but it's still ugly. It also raises questions about the Galaxy Fold's longterm durability. ----------------------------

Comparison of Huawei Mate X and Samsung Fold. Huawei Mate X: Folding-out. Creates soft crease(s), fully recoverable, and without hard-crease line(s). Samsung Fold: Folding-in. Creates hard crease(s), with visible and unrecoverable hard-crease line(s). A close-up look at Huawei Mate X by a German reporter: Huawei Mate X in action in close-up. The commentary offered by the reviewer is spot-on: Promotional videos and pictures from Samsung have tried to hide the center crease line(s). But take a look at Samsung Fold from the following video: Play this video with slow-motion (0.25 of full speed), at around 0:51 you will see a very clear hard crease line in the middle.

CptPower

Man it doesnt matters. Less and less phone manufacturers use jack. Even Samsung decided to stop using jack in their devices. Galaxy fold is first future S models are next. Or why do you think they added wireless earphones in the box? Just to make ready people for no jack. And i am only glad this 150 years old tech going to history. Is not essential it never was.

CptPower

Hahaha sure sure. I can name you 10 tio 20 earphones and headphones and earbuds which wireless sunds better or a lot better than a wired ones. By the way wireless options is always better option to pick.

CptPower

Yes they are. If you can charge your phone every night why you cant earphones? Yes you can so its clever and essential if you want to use them next day. By the way less and ,less manufacturers use jack and in 2-3 years no flagship will have it and maybe a no midranger as well. In next 5 years jack will be gone or remains only in phones with physical buttons.

CptPower

Well i am. By the way Samsung Galaxy fold dont have jack and fact Samsung add wireless earbuds to S10 phones as a gift means any upcomming samsung flagship will have no jack at all. And in 2-3 years even a midrangers and basic models will have no analog jack. Finaly this jack curse will be over. Having a notch is bad but having a jack is far worse.

CptPower

Yes i kniw that but a 10 miliseconds delay is nothing. Is like the difference of running same game on a S8 Samsung or S9 samsun g with never CPU. It will be in milisecionds if any. From moment you press icon on screen until game loads the main menu.

Well you didn't even see Huawei's mate x it does have a crease in the middle too both of them no one have hands on review for both phone except the fact even with giant bezels Samsung fold was much more premium than mate x in term of feel and look so don't say this one is better than this because both of them have failed in this test and maybe the final product is going to be better or fix this problem

Your long essay comments shows me that you are an expert. So you are even more expert than the experts who designed and engineered Galaxy Fold and Mate X since you know a lot and can know which phone will have an engineering failure. Nah, you're just a keyboard warrior anyway

Fact-checker

Galaxy Fold has similar OLED technology as Huawei Mate X. There is no crease line on the Galaxy where the phone folds. The "anonymous" opinions are trying to BS you. Don't be their fool and believe what they write.

Anonymous

The basic premise of a foldable device with OLED screen is this: The OLED screen is so flexible that you can bend it and role it, and when it is fully open it can return to its original unblemished state. The Samsung Galaxy Fold has failed to deliver on that premise. The fact remains that the OLED screen is not creasable in the sense that the OLED screen can't return to its original unblemished state once it is creased. The Samsung designers have failed to understand this basic limitation of OLED. What a failure on the part of Samsung! Considering that Samsung is the principle flag-bearer of OLED display technology. Considering that the talk about a foldable device started as early as 2014, and it was followed up with years of resources and engineering effort. Considering the prestige Samsung has attached to such a high profile project. This is not just another failure, it is a failure on a "spectacular" scale!

Chee Khuan

Go to check out the NOKIA 9300 communicator first, then you will know who are delusional. SAMSUNG is just copy and paste the design of 9300 communicator.

Anonymous

There is a fundamental difference in design between Huawei Mate X and Samsung Fold. When Huawei Mate X is fully open, you face an unblemished AMOLED screen, just like you would with any other tablet. When Samsung Fold is fully open, you face a damaged AMOLED screen with a very visible hard-crease line in the middle, something you never have to face until now. Run that Samsung Galaxy Fold silent video using slow-motion (0.25 of full speed), at around 0:51 you will see a very clear hard crease line in the middle. Do you really want to use a 7.3" tablet with a damaged AMOLED screen (with a visible hard-crease line in the middle)?

The gap when the Fold is closed is the killer. Think of a high school binder. It's only Generation 1. I just hope the Fold 2 and other future successors can keep the device flat when closed. Make sure to increase the outside display. At this point, foldables are gimmicky and expensive... For now. But I envision it eliminating the slab tablet market eventually. My favorite foldable concept still comes from Xiaomi. Maybe Huawei can surprise us.

its gonna fail it has a crappy plastic display a 4380 mAh battery compared to the ipad pro's 9720 mAh it has a huge notch and its 2000 bucks! the market is in decline so not a good move to make a device that dose not have good features and costs 2000 bucks and don't get me started on when its folded into a phone its 4X thicker than a normal phone and the bezels are acctually bigger than the original iphone !!!!

You guys keep complaining about $5 wireless buds, which, just like wired $5 are really bad. Try something like Sennheiser Momentum InEar or PXC 550. After listening to PXC I bought it and never looked back at wired. And I'm sure the future will bring even better wireless solutions, so weather like it or not, 3.5mm jack will be less and less present on phones.

you're right in the way that current wired headphones are superior but wireless is coming and the only way to get funds for r and d is to unfortunately plug everywhere (ironic isn't it) I prefer a headphone jack because of the better quality and not dealing with battery lives of my headphones, but we all know that wireless is the future whether we like it or not.

when you say even better it should be, iphone xs max is not a note 9 plus I'm sure you could get a note 9 and a 300 tablet for the price of an iphone xs max let alone the Samsung fold.

The screen probably won't be but hopefully there will be one by the end of the year that has a decent screen to body ratio in "phone mode" as while tablet part looks great on the Samsung I'm not a big fan of how small the screen is unfolded.

it will be too heavy. it's not so convenient if it's too much weight in your pocket. it would stretch any pocket too much, so it would need to be kept somewhere else, which is not really convenient... I like if I can keep my phone in a pocket, not too big but also not too heavy...

For now, the Galaxy Fold will be a niche device for rich folks who can afford it. Let them be the guinea pigs. The Note series started off niche too. I have no intention adding $82+ to my T-Mobile monthly bill to get this. The best solution is to wait for the tech to get better and for the price to get cheaper. They always improve and get cheaper. I want the Galaxy Fold 2 and future successors to make the outside screen bigger. It looks weird closed with all that top and bottom bezel. Make it thinner. Make it cheaper. Perhaps make a foldable for the Note series. I'll be all-in if they do all that.

The specs are indeed high and attractive, especially it's foldable capability. I admit that I was kind of impressed when they said they were producing foldable mobile. At that time, I told myself that I'd buy it no matter what. But now, I kind of changed my mind because I realised that the price is a bit high for those specs. Samsung really wants to have more profits. I think they should do reasonable prices for all mobiles, so that everyone can buy.

Tahir

Just useless phone at this price.

Qirex

If this was cheaper I'd consider it. I really do think this is innovation at it's finest, and if this is the future then count me in. It's nice to see someone being bold and daring in today's phone market. I work in a phone shop and it's sickening every time Samsung or Apple bring out a new phone. They're always the same as the last one, only it might be a little bigger or the camera is better or the battery might last longer, but they always look the same. This is a pleasant and welcome change. It's 2k price tag will be because it's the only one of it's kind and a prototype for the market, but once more are made it will become cheaper (well as cheap as top of the range Samsungs get I guess). Samsung have shown everyone that it can be done, something which Apple used to be known for. Hopefully the smaller companies will try this now Samsung have led the way. Well done, Samsung.

Foxtrot2Novmbr

Too bad. Only few would buy this.

Foxtrot2Novmbr

Are you sure about the price tag of galaxy fold in your country? $1900+ for a samsung galaxy fold?!

Foxtrot2Novmbr

Because laptops/computers are stable platforms when being used. Unlike the smartphones/tablets which are moving. Especially when placed on pockets/pouch bags/belt bags/sling bags when being used.

Who told you? It is the other way around, and wireless headphones give you freedom to move around without those tangling wires that might get caught.

Now that Samsung already made this kind of device, I would love to see HMD Nokia do a modern day interpretation of the E90 Communicator. Instead of two screen inside, I want to see a proper QWERTY keyboard.

YUKI93

I don't see DJs use wireless headphone at their sets. Audiophiles and audio engineers can tell you that wireless headphone would need to sacrifice sound quality for battery longevity. There is no way wireless headphone would sound equal to wired one, and that's a fact!

YUKI93

Definitely agree. After all, wireless headphones have to sacrifice sound quality for battery longevity. You certainly don't face the latter with wired ones.

Right now Royole, Xiaomi could be like asking questions, "How come our foldable screen so dim, so many fingerprints and creases? Why Samsung's foldable screen has got nice matt finish and bright? And how they do it with such sharp bend and almost zero creases at center? How???" Let's wait for Huawei's foldable phone this Sunday to see how competitive it is. Or they probably cancel it after they saw Samsung's Galaxy Fold. LOL.

AFAIK there are two batteries 4000+ there

The bummer is it doesn't have a headphone jack. Boo! It gets annoying. Wireless headphones is going to destroy battery life. The lack of a microSD is no biggie if it has half a terabyte.

Can it compare screen size with huawei mate 20X?

This is the greatest mobile product Samsung has ever announced. Better than the first Note or S6 edge. This is really going to change everything. Love the Willy Wonka music in that promo trailer.

Kingslayer

Apple iPhone Xs Max (512 GB) = $1,449 Samsung Galaxy Fold (512 GB) = $1,980 Storage: 512 GB = 512 GB RAM: 4 GB < 12 GB Cameras: 3 < 6 If you're used to Apple prices, this wouldn't be too shocking. They sell laptops for $3000. For my money, it's not worth it. I'm really not into smartphones like I used to and was never into tablets at all. I'd rather pick up a $400-$500+ PlayStation 5 hopefully released by 2021-2022 and use that for 10 years. But if you compare it to the highway robbery Apple loves to do, the price isn't that bad. Too bad no expandable storage but half a TB should be good for most people's needs for the next 5 to 10 years.

John

What about Spen??

dvgzdgd

would be dope but i would guess more realistic for the Note 11 since they wouldn't want to canibalise themselves and the tech is still way more expensive than the note price. But we also saw the s10+ have the same price as a Note, so yeah idk

bobby53787

Price of IPhone Xs Max 512 GB in India is $2109, it is More than Samsung Innovative Fold Phone $1900+.

Kingslayer

Refinements for the Galaxy Fold 2 - Make the outside screen BIGGER. It looks narrow when folded which makes it one-handed friendly already but too much top and bottom bezels like we're getting transported back to 2007. Try to make it thinner when folded. Probably not at Motorola RAZR-level yet but I do want it thinner when folded. Lower the price. If they can get it to under $1000 in 2-3 years, I'm totally in. For now, I'm just waiting for the PlayStation 5. The one product line that has never disappointed me in nearly 23 years. I have loved all the PlayStations I've ever owned. Other than that, this first-gen Fold is pretty solid as is. The software is quite slick on it with no issues transitioning from fold to unfolded. This is a game changer, folks. The biggest game changer in form factor in a dozen years.

eM

Sounds and looks amazing! Lack of 3.5mm jack and sd slot however a major oversight in my view...

Kingslayer

You can hear the awkward "whoa" in that Tech Insider and CNET video after the guy announced the price. A few awkward snickers moments later. You can also hear the tent in their pants starting to fold! LMAO! Starting at $1980, it matches the year I was born. Not trying to justify price but it's not like Samsung gimped the specs. 512 GB, 12 GB RAM, 6 cameras. It's about $500 more than a 512 GB iPhone XS Plus which has a third of the RAM and cameras while the Fold has a bigger display than it unfolded while one-handed friendly like the XS when folded. You can hate the price. I get that. I think $1,500 would seem more reasonable given this is new tech and having a hinge like that with two different batteries is very complicated engineering. But you can't blame Samsung for offering weak specs for this device. It looks good and has great specs. Certainly looks way better than ZTE's concept. I wish Nintendo came up with a Switch or successor to a Switch with a foldable display. The og Switch is awkward to put in the pocket. Foldable displays would be great for gaming handhelds too. R.I.P. iPads and all tablets Samsung worked for a decade on foldable displays. 2021: "Introducing Apple's revolutionary iPhone that folds!"

Let me guess, the next version will have bigger front cover screen

Not thinking again

Samsung. You could have cut down the camera. and that puny extra screen, the extra effort to code 2 screen design. Use that cost and resource to get a jack + card slot. Simply put it. Just make a foldable tablet.. call it Samsung Tab S Fold.. THERE IS NO NEED TO THINK so much and add so many useless components. In general use case, why tablet is less desirable when moving around is because its form factor.. hard to put in pocket or small bag. Having it folded will be the biggest appeal to end users.. But now the cost and gimmicky nature of multi screen.. complex camera arrangement make this only a funny experiment. You could have earn some serious money from this. sigh..

No card slot?

No jack and no card slot is the downside of this device.

Great kickoff to a new era of the way we use smartphones by Samsung, appreciated the effort. Other manufacturers will follow the trend most importantly to give us cheaper option.

Chris Aus

I love the concept but, this will not be my next phone with no SD card port, no headphone jack ( I could overlook this) and a front display that is not the full screen it is not worth the 2K price tag. Also it would be nice to see the in display finger print reader built in.

Milkshake

The price tag is very hefty because Samsung is not able to make very many of these devices and they're ahead of the competition with this product. As time progresses and more manufacturers make good foldable phones, prices will drop significantly (Apple excluded probably).

My s8 plus has a higher resolution than that and my 6 years old Ipad mini 2 has like a 6000mAh.

Samsung has been working on foldable displays for a decade. 2021 - Apple's revolutionary iPhone that folds! This is NOT going to be my next phone by any means. For $2,000 dollars, are you getting me? I don't even want an iPhone X or Xs for $300! LMAO! But I've been very impressed from what I've seen from a first-gen device. I've been waiting for a device like this for many years and I feel it's now become worth the wait. Looks very, very polished for a first-gen. But for $2K? Hell no. We all wait until they become cheaper and cheaper which coincides at the tech getting better and better. Let the early adopters waste money being guinea pigs. Can't wait what LG and the Chinese OEMs have in store. The Xiaomi one looked very promising. R.I.P. to iPads and every tablet out there. I wish the successor to the Nintendo Switch can be that way. Foldables would be great for handhelds too.

hmm

4380mAh battery only for so large thing and then it dont have even 3.5mm jack. Is fold mechanics take so much space from the thing for these 2 thins ? It should have 2 phone size space for one phone.

Mobilemaster

This phone is amazing, really! There where some false rumors this could look like the Axon foldable device, but they where wrong! It is expensive, but it is a new technology. The next generation will be cheaper and better in every way. Hats off to Samsung!

SamBoy

The phone is OK, better than other attempts but there 2 things that I don't like, the small front screen with a huge unusable space on the top and bottom, it should have been better with a 21~27:9 aspect ratio screen, something the will be like the S9 in terms of screen to body ratio. Also i don't like the huge corner notch they used, I don't know what they placed in other than the cameras but if they had made it smaller, that would be nice! Anyway 1 other thing they could do to make the device more awesome, is to use a fast charging tech like the supervooc 50W, which splits 25W(5V, 5A) to the 2 batteries inside the phone!

I recently purchased a Xiaomi phone after owning many Samsung phones over the years. It cost less than a third of the price of a Samsung phone. After using it for a few months I can honestly say that Samsung's phones are better - by a very slim margin which does not justify the price difference.

trajcevasilev94

lmao what. you clearly must be dumb to say that Samsung's Quality and Xiaomi's Quality as the same. get off here as what you're trying to proove is completely wrong and false. Unlike all the other upcoming foldable Smartphones, this will be the best, yet keep a high price.

It's hilarious when people say something sucks when they don't like it. You are not the rest of the world, there are different phones for different kind of people and this is one of them. Not every manufacturer will make a phone just to fit in your hipster pockets particularly, and if it's too expensive for you then buy something else. There are thousands of models out there, who cares If you dislike this one or if it doesn't meet your needs, it will meet someone else needs. Also remember that your opinion is just another one from the bunch... And also, what do you want? For everyone to have the same phone you do just because you think it's the best one price/performance wise? Give me a break By the way, I wouldn't buy this phone, but the idea is amazing and can't wait to see it out there

oh don't get me wrong, I think the innovation behind it is fantastic, and others are already following Samsung's lead in this. the price was never going to be cost effective for the masses due to the new design and technology involved. I agree that its a niche market for a product like this, as the cost of it excludes so many people. my only issue with this is that its the first of its kind, and no one knows how its going to do, how durable it is, the xiaomi folding phone also looks very good. so im actually hopeful for this product and others like it to succeed, so cups half full pal :)

Anonymous

I get your point, but providers already charge £83-93 P/M for an iPhone XS Max with outstanding upfront costs to boot (if you go to the network directly) and people eat it up. This device has a niche market that's already paying over the odds. Forget about the price for a moment - It's still exciting that developing technology like this is becoming steadily more available on the domestic market. Might wanna top up your cup friend, looks half empty.

van13

good luck finding a case for this... 1600, plus the cost of the tariff, then insurance. looking at more 3000 to 4000 over 3 years. I'm sure the refurbished model you receive will work perfectly to. just the cost of the phone a month from my company it would be £44.44 then I'm sure you're going to want data, so we will say 20gb? looking at arounf £65-70 then another £10-15 for protection, have fun spending £100 a month.

Yes thats true problem is in case of Samsung opeople have range of devices to pick from. In case of apple when they ditched jack they removed it from all their devices.

Interesting how people bash on everything they don't like. I certainly wouldn't buy this phone nor have use to it, but it's a great innovation to bring this now when lots of brands are competing and adding a phone for someone's taste (Not necessarily yours). I enjoy the fact that my friends might have something crazy like this and not everyone I'm hanging with having the same phone as I do because of it's specs, price and whatnot... People buy stuff, I guess it's hard to comprehend.
