Ever wish you could just fold your smartphone up to fit it in your pocket?
Foldable phones have been an exciting topic of conversation in the smartphone market for some time now. Vendors like Microsoft, Huawei, and Samsung have all released their own insights into what foldable tech might look like over the last year. However, it seems that Samsung has edged over the finish line as the first major vendor to release a foldable solution, (after the Royole, of course).
Samsung recently announced both the impending arrival of three new Galaxy S10 models and the brand-new Galaxy Fold. While there are plenty of great features promised by the S10 handsets, it's hard to focus on them when there's a foldable phone in the mix.
What to Expect from the Galaxy Fold
If you thought that Apple devices were starting to cost a fortune lately, wait until you see the price tag for the Galaxy Fold. You can expect to pay around £15 grand for this technical masterpiece, which folds outwards to create a 7.3-inch tablet display.
The Fold transforms from a standard (though highly advanced) smartphone, into a complete Galaxy tablet within seconds. You can run up to three apps simultaneously on the device at once and seamlessly transition from phone to tablet mode without having to re-launch programs.
So, how does a phone handle being folded and unfolded every day? The Motorola RAZR from 2005 seemed to have endless problems with snapping. Let's hope they fix that if they do bring out a new version this year. According to Samsung, however, the Fold comes with a new advanced hinge system that can withstand endless folds. What's more, there are 6 cameras on your phone, so you can snap pictures however you're using it.
