Samsung has unveiled its highly anticipated Galaxy Fold smartphone device, which unfolds “like a book” from a smartphone into a tablet. According to Samsung, the Galaxy Fold, which will go on sale in two months, sits in its its own technology category – wavering between the two different devices. Unfolded, the device has a 7.3-inch size and functions as a tablet, however when folded in half it can be used as a regular touch-screen smartphone with a 4.6-inch screen.
New Samsung Galaxy Fold Smartphone
It delivers a new kind of mobile experience allowing users to do things they couldn’t do with an ordinary smartphone.
Users now have the best of both worlds. A compact device that unfolds to reveal Samsung’s largest-ever smartphone display.
Instead of bending like its more rounded concept design appeared to, the new device folds – described by Samsung as a more intuitive motion, and a more difficult innovation to deliver.
Samsung Galaxy Fold Design Features
The design features a hinging mechanism with multiple interlocking gears, concealed within a hidden enclosure to create a “seamless” look. This system allows the device to open “like a book” and close flat with a satisfying click.
Samsung Galaxy Fold Specifications
The phone’s screen is made from a composite polymer rather than the traditional glass screen. According to Samsung, it is the “world’s first” Infinity Flex Display with an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) screen that allows for a faster, higher definition display.
The electronics brand revealed its design of the Galaxy Fold today at a series of its Unpacked events held across London and New York.
Samsung Galaxy Fold Price
After ten years in the making, the new foldable device will go on sale in just a few months time – released in the U.S on 26 April with a price tag of $1,980, and then on 3 May in Europe.
Crux
Today, Samsung is writing the next chapter in mobile innovation history by changing what’s possible in a smartphone, said head of Samsung Electronics DJ Koh at the unveiling.
