The Samsung Galaxy Fold in 2020 [Into The Fold Episode 3]
Source: MrMobile Archive.org version
These are responses to a tweet I posted asking for feedback from Samsung Galaxy Fold owners – and, as a Galaxy Fold owner myself, the overwhelmingly positive sentiment of the responses came as no surprise. While most of the smartphones I’ve reviewed over the past year have been wonderful and competent in their own right … none of them has changed the way I use a phone, or altered my perception of what a phone should be. The Samsung Galaxy Fold has. So for Episode 3 of “Into The Fold,” I’m re-reviewing the Galaxy Fold for 2020, after five months of using it as MrMobile’s daily driver.

The Galaxy Fold feels like a phone from the future, and yet from a practical perspective it falls a bit short. When I was using Slack in one window, Gmail in another and Spotify in yet another on the 7.3-inch screen, I could see myself using my laptop less and a device like this more. I also liked being able to review and edit large documents on the go. And it’s just cool to close the whole thing up when you’re ready to walk way.

It’s incredible that the Fold even exists and one day we might all be walking around with foldables in our pockets. But you should only be buying the Fold if you have enough cash to warrant the purchase and another phone to fall back on when day to day use annoys you so much you have to put it down.

I feel like it would work really well as a phone for older people, like my mum who likes to embarrass the crap outta her kids by using her tablet to take photos with as she can “see the screen and what she’s trying to photo better.” She also likes to use her tablet to read books, and the news on as she can make the font HUGE, and as life hack you can all try, when she cant read small print such as medicine bottles, she takes a photo and zooms in. With the added bonus of it (the Fold) also being phone. My grandmother saw it and asked if it was a phone and commented on how good the large screen would be for her. If only it wasn’t priced out of their range…

As much as the Galaxy Fold is a look at what the next wave of smartphones might be, at this stage it’s hard to recommend that anyone, aside from those who simply must have the first-gen of everything, actually spend nearly £2000 on it. It’s impressive in a number of areas: great battery life, nice and productive software that actually makes some use of the bigger display and there are certain situations where having a tablet in smaller form-factor work.

Galaxy Fold Review: Unfolding a new Segment
Source: The Mobile Indian Archive.org version
The Galaxy Fold seems to be a step in the right direction. It is offering some new elements in the smartphone rather than adding on cosmetic changes which have become a norm in most of the smartphones launches nowadays. It has unfolded a new segment and going forward we might see consumers accepting it with open arms post the price correction because right now it is out of range for many consumers.

The Samsung Galaxy Fold is a vision of the future wrought of metal and glass.

There’s a few niggles here and there but they don’t detract from the Galaxy Fold’s next-generation design. If you’re looking for the most innovative phone currently available in the market and money is no object, the Galaxy Fold is it.

Samsung Galaxy Fold long-term review
Source: GSM Arena Archive.org version
The groundwork is already there, and there are many things to look forward to. Most notably, in the case on the Galaxy Fold, One UI 2. Fingers crossed on that end. If you're OK with this kind of uncertainty about the future and if you are willing to live with some other compromises, like the lack of a headphone jack on the phone as humongous as the Fold or with a pretty sizeable notch biting into the futuristic foldable display. Or the fact that you might have to re-train a lot of your existing smartphone muscle memory and re-think some use cases and habits. If you are up for all that, then there might just be room in your life for the Fold. Just be sure not to dive into it headfirst unprepared.

Samsung Galaxy Fold hands-on: Future of foldable device hinges on longevity

Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Fold seems quite robust for a device with one-of-its-kind bendable screen. However, it needs some polishing, especially with regard to its bendable screen and hinge mechanism, to become a better device that one could use as a daily driver. Until then, the phone looks more like a luxury device than a smartphone that makes life easy.

After a quick whirl around the block, the ability to change the size of the display at will is growing on us with the small cover display being used for most notifications and quick calls and the larger display to enjoy content and gaming. After a few days, we’re even getting used to the weight and initial run-throughs even with heavy workloads still offer full-day battery life.

The desire for bigger and bigger screens continues, but phones like the Note10+ push the limits of what's practical. The prospect of a device with a variable size screen — particularly a very large screen that can become small enough to go in your pocket or handbag — is an exciting one, and the Galaxy Fold shows that it works.

A primary camera array made up of three lenses sits on the back of the device and can be used with the phone open or closed, while two forward-facing setups allow for selfies in either position too. The phone's software seamlessly extended apps from the front screen to the larger inner screen, although only certain supported apps will be able to go back the other way. The ability to run multiple apps at once is also limited to software that supports the feature.

70% The Samsung Galaxy Fold, again: Hard to love, even harder to hate
Source: Engadget Archive.org version
Samsung’s Galaxy Fold is one of those devices that inspires adoration and annoyance at the same time. Its foldable design means you can carry around a tablet in your pocket and get plenty of work done along the way. The Fold’s power and flexibility nothing short of intoxicating, but as a commercial product, it leaves much to be desired. While closed, it’s chunky and clumsy, and we have serious concerns about how well its main screen will hold up over time -- our review unit's display developed dead and stuck pixels out of the blue, and we've seen a few other units with more pronounced blemishes. The Galaxy Fold offers a glimpse at the future of smartphones and gives Samsung a potent foundation to build on, but almost no one should consider buying one right now.

In closing, the best way I can put it is, you want to play with this phone, but you don’t want to live with it as your daily driver. If it lived on my coffee table, such as a tablet would, it’s ideal. However, as soon as you leave the couch and venture outside, you realize the world is a very dangerous place for the Galaxy Fold. Again, I hope Samsung only improves upon what they’ve done here because we’re on the right track.

Samsung's Galaxy Fold is the first foldable luxury phone
Source: Yahoo Archive.org version
The Galaxy Fold is a truly impressive piece of technology. It's leaps and bounds ahead of the current flat screen phones we use today, and smartphone makers hope it's the way forward for an industry that has seen sales stumble as consumers hold onto their devices longer. At $1,980, though, the Fold is not a smartphone designed for the average consumer. This is the Bugatti of smartphones — it has over-the-top design and capabilities and it’s far too pricey for most people to enjoy. If you're the kind of person who finds $100 dollar bills in your pockets like most people find singles, then the Fold is for you. For everyone else, hold off until Samsung can make the technology in the Fold available in mainstream products.

The Samsung Galaxy Fold takes some getting used to. It’s a touch ungainly when closed due to the chunky thickness. You can definitely feel it in your pocket as you walk around. The weight and blockiness both contribute here. It looks a bit gangly when closed, as it’s so narrow and long. I wasn’t able to develop a real rhythm with it in the first day. When should I use it open? When should I use it closed? Which apps work best on the outer or inner screens? Should I multitask in several windows, or hop between full-screen apps? If there’s one app that was harder to figure out than others, it was the camera. The results of the first wave of photos I took didn’t exactly turn out as I assumed they would. This kind of knowledge will come with time as people fold the Fold into their daily routines.

Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Fold is very much a first-generation device. For the price you'd have to pay for one if you choose to, you'd be getting a completely unique experience and the undeniable appeal of a 7.3-inch tablet in your pocket, but we can't yet weigh in on how practical this device will be for everyday use. We weren't able to feel how it fits into a pocket, but at 17.1mm thick folded, it won't be convenient. At 276g, it is also far heavier than your average smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy Fold review: Hands-on
Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
This isn’t like the iPhone in 2007 when it was immediately obvious that all phones would end up looking like it. Samsung has made the Galaxy Fold because it can, not because it should. It means the Fold feels like a device that will end up limiting in practice despite the larger internal screen, particularly with the outside screen that is so user hostile. The design is revolutionary, of that there is no doubt. But it could be at the expense of everyday usability and affordability – this is a luxury device at a luxury price. That's a particularly big risk in the wake of well-publicised durability issues with the first wave of devices, and no guarantees that all the problems have been fixed. Until we review it fully, the Galaxy Fold looks like a tantalising example of where personal computing might go – but it is not there yet, and maybe this isn’t exactly what it should look like.

Samsung Galaxy Fold (unreleased original) hands-on review
Source: T3 Archive.org version
Samsung Galaxy Fold is a phenomenal first foray into folding smartphones. It has a gorgeous, pliable 7.3-inch AMOLED display that makes reading ebooks, playing mobile games, and bingeing Game Of Thrones an absolute pleasure. Being able to carry around a small tablet in your pocket feels truly transformative. Granted, we're not sold on everything about the design – it's thick, and you can feel the crease as you run your fingertip across the display. However, the Galaxy Fold is ambitious and feels like it could completely change smartphone design in years to come. If you're willing to put up with some of its charmingly clunky first-generation foibles, this really is the future.

The Samsung Galaxy Fold ushers in an exciting new mobile form factor. It may have its negatives, which for some will rightly be a deal-breaker, but for those seeking the latest in cutting-edge technology the Fold should be top of your list.

Maybe there will always be compromises if your phone literally folds in half. Until we review it fully, the Galaxy Fold looks like a tantalising example of where personal computing might go – but it is not there yet, and maybe this isn’t exactly what it should look like.

I spent about an hour playing with the Galaxy Fold during a Samsung briefing event in London and while I don’t think it does everything right, it has certainly got me excited about the uses foldable phones can offer – even if this does feel like a true first-gen product. We should point out we did not have long enough to confirm reports of breaking screens ourselves.

Galaxy Fold Review: A Bold Bet That Is Not Ready

The Galaxy Fold is what can happen when you try to be first to market with a new innovation. It’s not accurate to say that the Galaxy Fold was rushed, as Samsung says this design was 8 years in the making. But it is fair to say that Samsung didn’t spend enough time doing quality control testing with real users.

Samsung Galaxy Fold ‘review’: The future is (almost) here
Source: Sam Mobile Archive.org version
There’s no doubt that the Galaxy Fold shows us the future of mobile devices, where we could have a tablet masquerading as a phone in our pockets. However, it’s not perfect at the moment, and Samsung has delayed the launch in order to fix the problems with the Fold. We believe Samsung was so focused on the complexities of folding a display and putting it in the hands of consumers that it lost sight of the basics and overall quality control somewhere along the way.

It's rather easy with the Fold - if you want to own the next big thing on the mobile market in spite of its hefty price, many caveats, and potential issues lurking within - you either buy the Galaxy Fold or the Mate X. It's up to you to decide which folding form factor you like better. The Fold is like a prototype device you can buy a few months (or years) before its completely ready and it will show you a glimpse of the future. Perfect it is not. But a perfect show off it truly is.

Galaxy Fold review: A lot of money for a prototype
Source: Engadget Archive.org version
Samsung’s Galaxy Fold is one of those devices that inspires adoration and annoyance at the same time. Its foldable design means you can carry around a tablet in your pocket and get plenty of work done along the way. Even after our testing was complete, we still found the Fold’s power and flexibility nothing short of intoxicating. As a commercial product, though, it leaves much to be desired. While closed, it’s chunky and clumsy, and we have serious concerns about how well its main screen will hold up over time. The Galaxy Fold offers a glimpse at the future of smartphones, but almost no one should consider buying one.

The Galaxy Fold is a status symbol for people who want to be on the cutting edge of phones. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. If you're someone who travels a lot and like the idea of accessing a big screen whenever you want it, the Galaxy Fold could be worth the splurge. Depending on how you work, the Fold may even replace your laptop for short stretches.

Samsung Galaxy Fold review (early verdict): we're sold on the fold
Source: T3 Archive.org version
Samsung Galaxy Fold is a phenomenal first foray into folding smartphones. It has a gorgeous, pliable 7.3-inch AMOLED display that makes reading ebooks, playing mobile games, and bingeing Game Of Thrones an absolute pleasure. Being able to carry around a small tablet in your pocket feels truly transformative. Granted, we're not sold on everything about the design – it's thick, and you can feel the crease as you run your fingertip across the display. However, the Galaxy Fold is ambitious and feels like it could completely change smartphone design in years to come.

Samsung Galaxy Fold Hands-On: Make Peace With a Crease
Source: NDTV Gadgets Archive.org version
Perhaps the lesson from the first folding phone will be about the value of making devices smaller. Instead of doing origami on a tablet, imagine folding in half the phone you already own. "I don't just want bigger screens, I want being smart with the screens you have," Milanesi said. Welcome back, flip phones.

Samsung Galaxy Fold First Look: A Crease, a Click, and It's Thick
Source: NDTV Gadgets Archive.org version
Samsung spent eight years developing the Galaxy Fold. Still, there are questions about durability. Samsung is trying to remove a crease that appears on the protective film above the screen after it's been folded about 10,000 times, Bloomberg News reported last month. The company has since released footage of machines repeatedly opening and closing the phone in what it dubbed an “extremity test” to assert its durability.

Making peace with a crease: hands on with Samsung's Galaxy Fold
Source: Sydney Morning Herald Archive.org version
Samsung was right years ago about the trend toward larger-screen phones, which not that long ago we used to jokingly call "phablets." The Fold combats the distressing trend of people needing handles, like those stick-on circular PopSockets, just to firmly grip their phones. If it catches on, the Fold could be the beginning of an era where big phones really are just tablets. Perhaps the lesson from the first folding phone will be about the value of making devices smaller. Instead of doing origami on a tablet, imagine folding in half the phone you already own. Welcome back, flip phones.

Samsung Galaxy Fold Hands-on: Not just a tech demo
Source: Mobile Syrup Archive.org version
Overall the device is far more polished and stable than I expected, both in terms of hardware and software. Android Pie and Samsung’s One UI seem to handle the Fold’s multiple displays with ease, the camera performance is top notch, and in general, the Fold feels well-made, despite its noticeable bulk. Still, it’s impossible to ignore the fact that the Fold is an incredibly pricey smartphone. While Canadian carriers and the final price haven’t officially been confirmed by Samsung yet, the Fold will likely cost somewhere in the $2,600 CAD ($1,980 USD) range.

Samsung Galaxy Fold review: Hands-on
Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
The Samsung Galaxy Fold is a bleeding-edge example of new technologies that is stunning on first glance. It is better than a prototype, but it’s also very much a first-generation device. We’re not sure whether to call it a smartphone or a tablet. The display on the outside of the Fold is comically poky and it doesn't fold flat but the inside is where the party’s at: that unfolded 7.3in OLED is stunning. But there is a notch and an always noticeable crease and bump. Spending this much money on the Galaxy Fold instead of a smartphone is like buying a first-class train ticket. It’s a fancier seat, but the experience is basically the same as everyone else’s and it’ll cost you two or three times as much.

I wished I had more time to play with the Fold, because it felt like a device straight from the future. I was quite surprised by how refined everything felt for a first-generation product, including the software that Samsung has worked on directly with Google. Seeing a smartphone display fold and unfold in your hands is really something else, and I feel the Galaxy Fold is totally worth the asking price. In fact, I’m regretting my decision to buy the 1TB Galaxy S10+ after my Galaxy Fold hands-on; it’s that good!

The last two weeks have been incredible for phones. Life-changing, even. First, Samsung announced the Galaxy Fold, its first foldable phone. Then, Huawei let us go hands-on with its foldable Mate X, which made the foldable phone concept so much more real. But for me, the Galaxy Fold is still the one that started it all, and the one that has me so intrigued. It didn't help that the only real-life glimpse we got of it was behind exceptionally reflective glass.

[Review] Galaxy Fold: um começo difícil para um futuro brilhante
Source: Gizmodo Archive.org version
No entanto, apesar de dar todos esses avisos, eu percebi uma coisa. Toda vez que eu tive que colocar o Fold de lado para testar alguma coisa ou fazer outra tarefa, eu mal podia esperar para abandonar meus trabalhos e voltar a usar o aparelho dobrável. Talvez ele não cause a mesma impressão em todo mundo, mas todo mundo que o recebeu ficou bastante impactado. O Galaxy Fold é um dispositivo que é difícil de curtir até que esteja realmente em suas mãos e, embora a Samsung tenha muito a fazer, ele já é um feito e tanto.
Positive: Big screen; support waterproof.

After a much long suspenseful wait, Samsung Electronic has finally announced the release of the Samsung Galaxy Fold, which is to be launched into the market of several selected countries. Samsung understands the niche market whereby people tend to look for better performing smartphone devices that allow them to carry out work while having fun at the same time. The Samsung Galaxy Fold is definitely in its own league. Whereas it markets its foldable screen as its main attraction point, the Samsung Galaxy Fold prides itself with myriads of other perks that will definitely entice smartphone users to make a purchase of the very model for their own. Proving to be one of the most sought-after brands in the marketing of smartphone mobile devices, Samsung’s release of the Samsung Galaxy Fold continues to prove worthy of its price point in so many aspects.

The Samsung Galaxy Fold gives users a different experience in terms of usage. When it is flipped shut, the device resembles a lengthy smartphone, which can be operated single-handedly while the user is on the go. Unfolding the Samsung Galaxy Fold device will display a colorful 7.3-inch Infinity Flex Display, which is an uncanny but direct transformation into a mobile palm-sized tablet of its own. This distinctly unique dual screen setup has proven to be a versatile in various ways, in which its practicality enables a more fluid multitasking experience. Watching videos and even viewing documents all at the same time may never be the same anymore with the help of this particularly intriguing foldable dual screen display feature. The camera setup for the Samsung Galaxy Fold is also definitely something to be reckoned with. The entire setup consists of a 10 MP Selfie Camera, which can be used while folded, as well as an additional Front Dual Camera with 10 MP and a 8 MP RGB Depth Camera.

In addition, the Wireless Powershare is a unique connectivity feature that the Samsung Galaxy Fold carries within the device. This Wireless Powershare feature enables any battery-powered Samsung devices to share their battery life with the Samsung Galaxy Fold. Samsung devices that utilizes WPC Qi wireless charging such as the Galaxy Note10, Note10+, and the S10e models are more than capable to bask in this shared feature. This can come in handy for Samsung users that have amassed a collection of the selfsame products for the preservation of battery life when grouped together for a common task.

Smartphones as we know them might have come a far way from what they used to be: from the O2, Palm and Dopod days to the first iPhone days and to the latest bunch with notches and bezel less displays. However, they have been looking pretty boring for the past few years. They might be curved and made of different materials, but smartphones today are pretty much the standard candy bar designed phones. Not long ago we had a variety of designs and styling like the Motorola RAZR, Nokia N series, and the sleek Sony Ericssons but there is nothing much to differentiate from various different brands and models these days. The flexible display has opened up a huge potential of designs for the future smartphone. The two first companies to release their models with flexible display to the mass market are Samsung and Huawei and they can’t be any more different in terms of design.

For a start, this technology doesn’t come cheap. The Galaxy Fold costs twice as much as the iPhone Xs. The Samsung Galaxy Fold has two screens. The outer screen is a 4.6 inch AMOLED screen with quite huge bezels around it. When unfolded, the inner 7.3 inch AMOLED Infinity Flex display can be seen. The Infinity Flex display is covered with an ultrathin polymer (plastic) that uses a new adhesive that Samsung developed to laminate the phone's many display layers so they can flex and fold hundreds of thousands of times. According to Samsung the hinge is constructed with interlocking gears, which is placed away in the casing. From its appearance, the Galaxy Fold doesn’t fold flat. When folded, a small gap remains at the hinge end. When unfolded, the apps go in full screen tablet mode. This works for many of the in-built apps and with Google’s native support for foldable displays coming soon, it may soon be available for all apps. In tablet mode, up to three apps can be fitted at the same time.

In total, the Galaxy Fold has 6 cameras, three in the back, two on the inside and one on the cover. The cover camera is a 10 MP sensor. At the rear is a 12 MP wide angle sensor with OIS, a 12 MP telephoto sensor with OIS, and a 16 MP ultra-wide angle lens. On the front is a 10 MP sensor and an 8 MP RGB depth camera. In terms of specs, the Galaxy Fold comes with the very best. Inside is a Snapdragon 855 processor with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB internal memory. Unfortunately, it doesn’t feature an under display fingerprint scanner like many of today’s flagship but considering the design, it may not be so practical after all. It has 2 separate batteries in each side to provide a total of 4,380 mAh of battery power. The Galaxy Fold also supports wireless charging and fast charging. Like all foldable phones, the Samsung Galaxy Fold is not a phone aimed at the mass market yet. It remains as a futuristic phone made for tomorrow. Nevertheless, it is a bold attempt by Samsung to enter this market while it’s still in the research and development phase.

Qualcomm Adreno 640: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is intergrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 20% faster than the Adreno 630 in the Snapdragon 845 SoC and offers 50% more compute units (ALUs).

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

SD 855: High-end SoC for smartphones that was introduced in late 2018 and manufactured in 7 nm at TSMC. Integrates one “Prime Core” based on a modified ARM Cortex-A76 architecture clocked at up to 2.84 GHz. Three more performance cores are also based on the A76 but clock up to 2.42 GHz. Furthermore, four energy saving cores are integrated that are based on the ARM Cortex-A55 architecture and clock at up to 1.8 GHz. In addition to the processor cores, the SoC integrates a X24 LTE modem (up to 2 Gigbit download), a new Wi-Fi modem (Wi-Fi 6 ready, 60 GHz mmWave), Hexagon 690 DSP with new Tensor cores for AI processing, a Spectra 380 ISP with an integrated computer vision engine and an integrated LPDDR4x memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

7.30":

This display format is in the mid-range for smartphones. It offers a compromise between good visibility, details and resolution on the screen, and you can still fit it into trouser pockets.

Samsung: Samsung Group is the largest South Korean conglomerate and was founded in 1938. Samsung Group employed 489,000 people in 2014 and is one of the world's largest companies in terms of revenue and market strength. The name Samsung means "Three Stars" in Korean and represents the three sons of the company's founder. The company was founded in 1938 as a grocery store. With its subsidiary Samsung Electronics, founded in 1969, Samsung took up the production of electrotechnical items, focusing on consumer electronics and household appliances at an early stage. Other branches in which the large corporation is active include mechanical engineering, automobiles (Hyundai), insurance, wholesale, real estate and leisure. Samsung manufactures a wide range of electronic products, including smartphones, televisions, home appliances and semiconductors. The company's Galaxy line of smartphones is one of the most popular in the world. Samsung is also a major player in the semiconductor industry, making memory chips and processors for many other electronics manufacturers.

77.32%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
