The foldable handsets, once known as flip-phones or clamshells, have been around for years, though lately, they've been out of commission. Not anymore though. While Xiaomi and Motorola were experimenting with sliders Samsung has taken a different path, one that was charted way back in 2013 when the maker launched the one and done Galaxy Round with a flexible display. But while both LG and Samsung tried to play the flexible card, it wasn't the thing the users wanted. But if you can flex it, why not fold it, right?
Fast-forward five and a half years and we are holding the gadget we really wanted back in 2013 - a foldable smartphone. But the one and done curse may just be striking again, as by the time we finished this review Samsung had already recalled all Galaxy Fold units because of broken screens and postponed the launch for an unknown period of time.
The good news is Huawei Mate X is just around the corner and Samsung might be pressured to fix the Galaxy Fold. But the Galaxy Note7 fiasco was not so long ago and Samsung may decide not to risk another one and cuts its losses.
Anyway, whatever happens, we are here to give you a glimpse of what's coming or what could have been. Either way, the Galaxy Fold is an incredible piece of technology worthy of experiencing. Because it might be the next big thing, whether it goes on sale or not.
The Galaxy Fold employs every cutting-edge piece of technology available on a smartphone - the most current Snapdragon 855 chip, enhanced with 12GB of RAM, a half a terabyte of teh fastest flash storage there is, a triple camera on the back, a dual-camera on the inside, and even an extra autofocus selfie camera on the outside. There is also a large battery, a ton of connectivity options, stereo speakers, and whatnot.
The one thing the Galaxy Fold can't do is withstand water. But it would have been a second technology miracle to capsulate the phone against water.
