Samsung first mocked his folding phone in November, and in today's Galaxy Unpacked event, its collapsible plans are further detailed. The folding Samsung now has a name, the Samsung Galaxy Fold, and the company is revealing more about what this unique smartphone can do. Samsung plans to launch the Galaxy Fold on April 26, starting at $ 1,980, through AT & T and T-Mobile in the US. UU., With a pair of new wireless headphones from Samsung. There will be an LTE and 5G version of the Galaxy Fold, and Samsung even plans to launch the device in Europe on May 3, starting at 2,000 euros.

SAMSUNG HAS A HINGE FULL OF CLOCK GEARS
Samsung has created a robust backbone for the device, with a system of hinges that has multiple interlocking gears. All these gears are hidden in the back of the device, and allow the Galaxy Fold to transform from the tablet to the phone modes. Samsung says it can fold at least 200,000 times, which is equivalent to more than 5 years if you fold it 100 times a day. On the back of the device there is also a triple camera system that will be used for tablet and phone modes. There's an ultra-wide 16-megapixel camera, along with a 12-megapixel wide-angle telephoto camera on the back, and a 10-megapixel cover camera for selfies. Samsung is also creating four different colors for the Galaxy Fold, but the main screen of the tablet is the key here.
Samsung is allowing Galaxy Fold to run three applications at once on this Android device, and is using an application continuity system to adjust these applications when you move between tablet and phone modes. Applications like WhatsApp, Microsoft Office and YouTube have been optimized for the new screen and new modes, and Samsung has been working with Google to ensure that Android 9 Pie is fully compatible with this screen.
Multitasking of three Samsung applications
Samsung demonstrated a variety of applications that run in this mode, and change from phone to tablet and vice versa. The software looks pretty smooth right now, but it's fair to say that the Galaxy Fold looks a lot better when it's deployed than when it's used as a traditional phone. The phone's screen is clearly designed to be used with one hand, but it is flanked by large bezels that are not in tablet mode. However, we will have to take a closer look at the Galaxy Fold to discover exactly how this affects the ease of use of the device.
Samsung is not the only smartphone maker that creates a folding device, but it is certainly one of the first to make it widely available. Xiaomi made fun of her own folding phone recently, which seemed like the best concept we've seen so far. Reportedly, Huawei also plans to launch a folding phone this year, and Lenovo has begun testing its own prototype. LG has also been developing flexible OLED displays and televisions that are rolled into a box. If all these manufacturers are moving towards sending a device like Samsung, expect to see many folding phones in 2019 and beyond.
