Samsung Galaxy Fold Returns

Samsung Galaxy Fold is back after forcedscreen sick leave and goes on sale again. An amazing, one-of-a-kind device will appear on the markets of Germany, France, Great Britain, Singapore and the USA on September 18th. In South Korea, the model is on sale from September 6.

The reason the model didn’t see the light inthe first time, the screen design turned out to be unsuccessful - it broke down shortly before the start of sales when testing several people at once. Of course, I would like to know what exactly the company did to ensure strength to the weak link, but Samsung does not cover this topic. But the discount for replacing the screen is announced, if such a need arises within the first year from the date of purchase.

Recall that Samsung Galaxy Fold is a newa look at the clamshell form factor. The smartphone is equipped with two screens, the largest of which - Dynamic AMOLED with a diagonal of 7.3 ″ folds in half, being flexible. When folded, the width of the device is 6.3 cm, in the open - 11, 8 cm.

The smartphone has a crazy number of cameras: as part of the triple main there is a 12 MP module with a variable aperture, 16 MP ultra-wide-angle and 12 MP telephoto, the first and third with an optical stabilization system. Dual front camera supports Live focus. Plus there is one more.

There are also two batteries. Samsung Galaxy Fold supports wireless charging itself and can serve as a wireless charger for other devices.

Flagship, very cool iron, a lot of memory. It can work as a PC - can be connected to Samsung DeX.

Side fingerprint scanner. There are stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support. The kit includes Galaxy Buds wireless headphones.

There are two sim cards, but one of them - eSIM - is in the 4G version. There was also a new one - 5G. There is one SIM card slot. The smartphone will be available in two colors: “black space” and “silver”.
