CNET reports:
The foldable future is finally here, and it’s called the Galaxy Fold. Samsung on Wednesday showed off the new foldable phone during its Unpacked event in San Francisco. The device has a 4.6 inch display when folded, and a full 7.3 inch display when unfolded into a tablet.
The phone will be available April 26 at a starting price of $1,980. It’ll come in four colors: Cosmo Black, Space Silver, Martian Green and Astro Blue. Apps showed off for the Galaxy Fold include YouTube, Netflix and Facebook.
The Galaxy Fold comes with 12 gigabytes of RAM and batteries on each side of the foldable phone, said Justin Denison, Samsung’s senior vice president of mobile marketing.
The Verge reports:
Samsung is using a new 7.3-inch Infinity Flex Display that allows the phone itself to have a tablet-sized screen that can be folded to fit into a pocket. The main display runs at 1536 x 2152 resolution, and when it’s folded, a smaller 4.6-inch (840 x 1960) display is used for the phone mode.
Samsung is using 512GB of Universal Flash Storage 3.0 (eUFS) for fast speeds, alongside a 7nm processor and 12GB of RAM. Samsung has even built two batteries for its Galaxy Fold, that are separated by the fold but combined in the Android operating system.
When folded, it appears that the screen size is just a little bigger than the iPhone 5S.
