Essential Facts About the Samsung Galaxy Fold You Should Know

Samsung, the leading South Korean smartphone manufacturer, generated significant excitement earlier this year with the announcement of its innovative foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Fold. Initially slated for an April release, the launch was postponed to September due to technical concerns, with an official date still pending.

Whether you're a Samsung enthusiast or not, the Galaxy Fold's groundbreaking design and technology are sure to impress.
When folded, the device features a compact 4.6-inch HD+ Super AMOLED display, which may seem small compared to larger screens on typical smartphones.

However, opening the device reveals a 7.3-inch QHD+ AMOLED display, offering vibrant colors, sharp images, and clarity.

The foldable feature introduces a visible crease along the fold, which may be less noticeable during regular use. Samsung has confirmed that this crease remains consistent over time. It is worth noting that the Galaxy Fold has undergone nearly 1,000 prototypes over a decade of development, ensuring meticulous engineering and testing.

The foldability is designed to withstand over 200,000 cycles, promising durability for at least five years with moderate use (around 100 folds daily).

Beyond the unique display, the Galaxy Fold boasts 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, enhancing multitasking capabilities. In tablet mode, users can run three apps simultaneously, elevating productivity and entertainment without constant app switching.

Pre-order reservations were halted due to earlier delays, but the phone will be available in stores and online come September. Interested customers are encouraged to sign up on Samsung's website for updates. Previously, AT&T offered the device at approximately $66 monthly for 30 months. The retail price is around $1980, available in four colors: Space Silver, Cosmos Black, Martian Green, and Astro Blue.
