The pun was just begging to happen. Unfolding the future. Ha! But wordplay aside, await at this gorgeous beauty that Samsung calls the Galaxy Fold. Launched barely an hour ago, this is the futurity of smartphone design, every bit dictated by the biggest smartphone manufacturer in the globe. It doesn't just have a flexible screen, it has Two screens, a cute colored metallic back with a lovely spine of a complementing/contrasting color, and half-dozen cameras… Three on the outer back panel, i on the outer front panel, and two on the inside laid out in an disproportionate notch on the top right corner of the screen.

The phone sports two gorgeous displays no doubt, given that Samsung is the pioneer in display engineering science. You've got a slick 4.58-inch, 1960×840 OLED console on the exterior, serving as a traditional display when the phone is closed, and a gorgeous 7.3-inch, 2152×1536 resolution display on the inside, giving the phone an iPad Mini feel.However, since the phone folds in one-half, you've essentially got a phablet that y'all can easily slide into your pocket and carry around with you. The phone lacks a fingerprint sensor, but packs USB-C charging and comes in both LTE and 5G variants across a variety of colors that just accentuate the phone's beautiful butterfly design.

This right here is the breath of fresh air nosotros've been waiting for. With phones trying really hard to be different but not getting anywhere by sticking to the decade-plus-sometime candybar format, the market has been pining for something bold and beautiful… and the Milky way Fold might simply exist it. The phone should exist available by the finish of Apr this twelvemonth co-ordinate to Samsung, and even though it sports a hefty price tag of $1980, it'due south just natural, given that flexible screens haven't go democratized or cheap yet. However, this is surely a milestone moment for smartphones. Great job, Samsung… You've piqued everyone's interest! And that too on the 10th anniversary of the Galaxy smartphone!
