Samsung Galaxy Folder - User Reviews

  • I purchased a brand new in the box SM-G1600 from a supplier in Honk Kong. I set it up as per normal - downloaded Google Play Store & installed 26 apps, up to this point all was good. I hooked up the phone via smart switch and downloaded all my outlook contacts - perfect! Then an icon appeared to do a software update for Samsung - I did what any prudent person does and first backed up all my data and apps. I proceeded to download the updates and everything went south from there. All google apps disappeared from the device and all apps that relies on Google services stopped working. I did a factory reset and proceeded to install all the backup but still no use!!! This phone regardless of what anyone might say is made in China and eventually by hook or by crook reverts back to its intended setting which means (Google) will be blocked period. The phone is useless to people in the Western world so do yourself a favor and buy something else!

  • Yes i have a Sm-G150NK You can install a TWRP on any of these

  • Thanks for your reply and info. SM-G1600 is the newer version to the original Folder, which we have been looking for. According to the records on the internet, the model numbers are SM-G150NO, SM-G150NS, SM-G150NK, SM-G150NL, SM-G155S. Also, if there is documentation that states the purchase date, and/or the statement by a seller about the purchase date being before July 12, 2016, that's perfect. Thanks for your info anyway, and if you happen to know someone who has such device, please let me know !

  • Not sure if what I have is actually what you're after. The Device name I have on my Gold Folder is 'Samsung Galaxy Folder', but the model number is SM-G1600 (I have triple checked that number - I am looking at the About device screen after also checking inside the unit under the battery cover for the printed model number. It runs Android 6.0.1, but it's some Korean limited version of it - doesn't have the google play store which hobbles it considerably. I'm wondering if the SM-G1650 is better because it's not really fully functional as it is.

  • Hi, is there anyone who has used SAMSUNG GALAXY FOLDER SM-G150(Folder one, not 2) for sale? We are looking real unit for product archiving purpose. We will buy one at a premium price if all the conditions are met.

  • The Only thing they Missed which could be more helpful from my point of view is FLASH Light !

  • Yesterday purchased this set, its awesome. Battery life is good and navigation key interface is somewhat annoying. It since long that I use mobile with keypad, juggles old memories. The bad thing is camera is wrongly placed, taking picture is to difficult and irritating.

  • when is available in south africa?

  • I want to buy it. Can i buy from bangladesh

  • Is this available in Europe?

  • still cant believe if it is a smartphone

  • is it available in the phil?

  • lol this phone looks better than my current phone and tablet combined

  • Hope it comes to Hungary?????????????????????????????????????

  • It looks much better than I9230 - folding case is useful to protect the screen - external screen is unnecessary. The keyboard allows to operate the phone with one hand even when walking. Personally I would like to see a bit more pixels (higher pixel density not bigger screen) and more RAM (eg.2GB). And the most important - I wish to buy it in Europe!

  • wowwwww great job samsung

  • omg I cant believe its smartphone

  • why the hell this ? dont copy motorola flips...

  • why the hell this ? dont copy motorola flips...

  • I'll buy it

  • No flash no party...

  • the problem w/ samsung is that they do not focus more on their main flagship and just release different specs of phones.

  • an experimental phone ! just to detect of there is a gap in the asian markets for flap fad.

  • Classic phone with greatsoftware... Yes, please.

  • Why this one not dual sim hahahahaha

  • Ty for the clarification

  • It is not released in American Markets sadly, only in Asian markets.

  • one think this mobile Touch are not

  • nice mobile Smart Work in samsung company

  • Does anyone knows if this phone had already been released on USA?

  • If they could market this as a hyper-capable business phone, maybe the form-factor would have greater acceptance... If a version was released that supported U.S. LTE bands, I'd buy it in a second!

  • ok samsung when are we going to get this smart flip in the uk ?

  • hahahahaahhahahaha good joke

  • LOL!! noted! :D And also yes.

  • By flash, i dont mean flashy. I mean this phone lacks of flash on camera (you can see it on picture btw)

  • This phone seems slightly better than the LG Wine but idk somehow it doesnt appeal much to me. Meantime. Hope Blackberry makes a clam shell phone too and hope LG makes a better clam shell phone than the LG Vine. I would consider getting THIS one haha I like it!! That way no one attacks you. Any review of this phone? I wonder how the music player works!! Also of the LG Vine!

  • Personally I think this is great that way, some bad man does not try to attack you for carrying a flashy looking phone..

  • I hope it reaches the Philippines. That's cool.

  • design is good and classic.sam is a good brand

  • Perfect phone for Venezuela, high tech and looks old, so crooks don't rob you.

  • Hope this phone come to Indonesia. I really like the design, but lacks off flash :( I wish they will released the dual sim and better spec next year (of course with better price :p)

  • really like the design. hopefully it come to Malaysia.

  • Hope it comes to UK.

  • Hope it comes to UK.

  • Samsung Korea, will it be released in Malaysia? We like clamshell mobile phone too. Don't just released it in Korea. Make it available else where too, we are fed up with candybar shape smartphone.....

  • I dream for folder phone but I don't like that this phone don't have a second screen to see who's calling me...

  • I hope it comes to Indonesia...

  • but... whyyyyyy ?

  • I Love it!

  • the galaxy grand prime is not their best phone. not by a long shot. the reason they price it this high is because there is a market of people who want the ease of a smartphone but still want the feel of a flip phone. so therefore they merged the best of both worlds and put a price tag on it. they will more than likely take a loss on it. but there is no reason to be mad at them for it. if you dont like it then dont buy it. that simple

  • i love folder phones but in this price its really overpriced and we shouldnt forget samsung was one of the biggest folder phones in the past so make sth new is not really hard for them to release it to the market with usd 500 for the specs same as old galaxy mega 6.3

  • This phone is proof that Samsung always overprice their own shit. No matter that i love samsung and using their devices all over my house, this is reason why i start to hate them a bit...

  • usd 500 on ebay!!! will anyone buy it? if it was about usd 100 to 150 it was good but usd 500 is too much for these specs

  • This phone price is higher than their best phone (Grand Prime). I mean why you guys make us fool , seriously F*** off all. That's why I hate Samsung.

  • Why couldn't they use the exterior design of this flip phone as other Samsung Galaxy back panel design. Absolutely more gorgeous compare to that glass they had made.

  • i like the fact its bringing sexy back

  • I think about 250.00 for it unlocked.

  • dual sims and flash and more battery please !

  • Aowsemme!!!!!! idea but i hate folding phone :(

  • Where can i buy it in the US??

  • Today I bought a Galaxy folder Performance was fine. use internet,music,chating Size is similar to the iPhone but unlocked is $279 in South Korea

  • wooow

  • i want one too but hope samsung release one with 2gb ram instead of 1.5

  • $255 can buy flagship phone for that, would be good go see other designs but to costly.

  • 15mm thick? is that closed? id hope so.lol.

  • When it will be available to Latin America?

  • I want this phone. i wish samsung would bring it to the global market

  • Flash and 2nd screen for selfie?

  • Nice phone good idea but it should be DUAL SIM 3G.????????

  • Thank God Finally I was waiting for this type of phone. Samsung kindly make this available in India. Also please re-enter the CDMA market direct as there are too many issues when the CDMA phones are purchased in grey market.

  • I want to see this beauty in world market!

  • It will be more interesting if it has 3000 may battery and dual sum card slot.

  • wow.... after so long smart with normal keypad in samsung.. i love to see in real wat would be the cost of this........

  • There is also the LG Gentle released on the same day. Similar design too. Even the keypad is similar. Both device is exclusive for the Korean market only but probably available for online order.

  • I need this phone now but in dual sims. I was waiting for this type of phone since two year. I need this phone now but in dual sims.I need this phone now but in dual sims.

  • No company have beat motorola clamshell design yet...

  • Want it. But i think this device will not be sell in Europe...
