Galaxy Fold


Every year, technology companies from around the world gather together in the Las Vegas Convention center to present their new products and technologies. Things like self driving cars, wearable technologies and full wall screens that can roll away were on display. This year, Samsung presented a foldable cell phone called The Galaxy Fold and cell phone fanatics are excited about it and so am I. This cell phone will be released soon and cell phones will never be the same. “Featuring an Infinity Flex display, the Samsung Galaxy Fold goes from a 4.6-inch display for phone mode and folds out to reveal a separate 7.3-inch display on the inside. It’s designed to be a comfortable device to hold one-handed.” (https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/samsung-galaxy-fold-news/) The fold will not be cheap when it first comes out at $1,980, but it will be the next “must have” gadget. When unfolded, the phone will be more like a table than a phone with a full screen size close to 7.3”. And when unfolded, it will be able to run multiple applications using all parts of the screens or you can choose to have the image spread across both screens. And on top of the size and clarity of the screen, the phone has a top camera as well. “There are actually six cameras in the Samsung Galaxy Fold. Three on the back make up the main camera, combining a wide, ultrawide, and telephoto lens. There’s also a dual front camera, which seems to be housed in a notch at the top right of the Infinity Flex display, and there’s a single cover camera as well.” (https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/samsung-galaxy-fold-news/ )It is a pricey phone with many uses. It can certainly target the cell phone + tablet user and suggest they combine into one device. But whoever the target audience, first adopters and the gadget gurus out there will definitely want to get their hands on this one.
