Samsung's Galaxy Fold redesign is reportedly complete

Published on Jul 3, 2019

Still waiting for Samsung's first foldable phone? Bloomberg cites anonymous sources saying that Samsung has completed a redesign of the Galaxy Fold in just two months. The protective film now covers the entire screen and stretches into the bezel so people can't pull it off by accident, and hopefully reduce the appearance of a seam in the middle. Also, the hinge has reportedly undergone tweaking to make it flush with the display, and pushing the film up when the device is opened.
 

Samsung Galaxy Fold finalized | Hands on

Published on Sep 5, 2019

Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Fold is back – and fixed, and finally ready for you. AT IFA in Berlin, Samsung announced a new and improved version of the Galaxy Fold, the company’s second effort at making a folding phone, a goal the technology industry has been working toward for around a decade.

The first version was released earlier this year, but was recalled when journalists almost immediately noted problems with the device. Some found peel-off layers on the screen meant to protect it. Removing them? Not good. Others noted issues when dust and debris found their way into the hinge mechanism, although we had no such issues when we reviewed the Fold this past summer.

Samsung Galaxy Fold review: the future is almost here?!

Nov 4, 2019

There was a time when phones weren't boring. When we got new form factors all the time, but the interesting part of the story is how that led to more experimentation than true innovation. The last 15 years have been kind of wild, but the complete opposite. They all began with the most simplistic phone of them all.. The first iPhone. I still find it kind of bold for Apple to have dared to launch it and challenge everything we knew at the time, and get away with it. For me it then continues with the Samsung Galaxy Note, which literally jumpstarted the frenzy for ever larger, ever more-useful devices in our pockets..

But if you notice, this actually marked a shift where all the innovation of hardware took a step back into innovation of software. Who would've thought that the cab industry would kneel to the genius of two apps on a phone, and yet all while phones kept looking the same. Cameras got better, screens got crisper, processors on phones have overshadowed even some desktop solutions, but what didn't change was the form factor of the phone. Some could even say, why should it? When simplicity is taken to its minimum expression, where is there more room to grow and innovate? And I say grow because companies know consumers want larger and larger screens that can still fit in your pocket.

The solution? This is the Samsung Galaxy Fold, a tablet when you need it, a phone when you don't, and probably one of the coolest pieces of tech to be launched in years. Sure it did have kind of a rocky start, as has every single new product launched in the past, I mean who doesn't remember the blue screen of death at the launch of Windows 95. Thing is, it's finally here, and I decided to take my time, give it a month of use, and tell you how it all turned out. I'm Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow, and this is our review of the Samsung Galaxy Fold.
 

The Samsung Galaxy Fold is the most exciting smartphone yet | Are foldables the future of smartphone

Nov 10, 2019

Foldable phones are here but are we ready for them? James Peckham and John McCann sit down to talk it through.

Our hands on review of the Samsung Galaxy Fold:
The Galaxy Fold delivers a ‘wow’ factor that no other phone offers today, and yet we’d only recommend it to early adopters with a penchant for impressing their peers, and who have money to burn. It’s a technical marvel, with technical limitations, and it makes us hopeful for a more fully rounded sequel.
