Samsung Galaxy Fold: technical sheet and specification

It will not be an analysis of usage but it will have a more traditional start, and that is first things first Gold Fold is the brown beast depending on the hardware and the possibilities, which now summarizes the old table of features and technical specifications:

New item of form: design and user information

What is mobile wrapping?

Open Samsung Galaxy Fold again opening it up first is an experience, not because we're dealing with a completely new product – it's still mobile – but because we're looking at the initial expectations of the required industry changes, especially after a few years and a feeling of resilience depending on new features and opportunities.

Samsung has take great care to pack of its most expensive and powerful signal, it has a quality box that prefers to reduce plastic consumption and includes not only Gold Fold, but also the other side an end-to-end, fast charger with its cord and earphones true wireless Samsung Galaxy Buds with an AKG seal.

The smartphone comes unwrapped and wrapped in plastic – the only item of this type in the whole package – and as soon as you pick it up you get that smile i know about future device, something that takes you ahead of your time. I think it would feel the same as driving a Tesla, or traveling a Maglev.

Golden Fold and its original capabilities (Galaxy Watch Active2 is home)

In any case, unlocking it is as easy as pressing a button on the right, where we find and a fingerprint reader who attends the frame in the cleanest of Tony's purest style; while opening and closing is as easy as doing the same for any book, of course The form factor is known, friendly and easy to accept

A little more welcome to see more cameras, great notch on the top right on the big screen, and make sure Samsung has chosen more without thinking of better solutions that would allow us to fully enjoy such a screen, 7.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED with HDR10 + technology and Eye Comfort which allows you to automatically adjust to the right light conditions.

Farther from that, the terminal passes and manido alas the result Insurance protected. The a priori wonders if it breaks but doesn't, the hinge is well designed as well the set is dynamic, although I must admit that it gives the feeling of carrying two small and large phones together in my pocket.

In fact, that format when folded it is more reminiscent of a pack of glasses than a cell phone At least that feeling when you carry it-, and that the Gold Fold is longer, smaller and thicker than what we understand about the current cellphone.

To me, and this has become my personal opinion, the outer display is a wearable item more than 100 percent useful, and I define myself deeply. In it we can open and use any app available on Android, however that high and low format is not comfortable by sight, not in touch or daily use, so we will end up using it only to turn on notifications, to respond immediately to WhatsApp or Telegram or open any app and go to the main panel reveals a folder.

Yes, this progress is past and the quality of both screens – beads, light, colors and performance – is perfect. Without a doubt the best experience, turn on the alert, noting that it's fast to use on the big screen, turn on the phone and continue on your return to Cover cover No cracks or delays. About the magic …

For everything else, getting acquainted with the Samsung Galaxy Fold is easy because we already know the books, and this is it very good ebook method which I can use for the rest of my life. Without much, without much pride.

The details are interesting, and the Golden Fold is very detailed.

Is it weak as it seems?

Look at you the short answer is no. I also cannot deny that the Galaxy Fold initially looks like the weakest smartphone in the world, and Samsung itself is responsible for expanding that feeling including Specific instructions for proper repair device.

Nothing really stands out, and although the Samsung Galaxy Fold is a different, more reliable tool than the old glass and iron sandwiches, this is a flexible mobile It can be used daily with no problem and without excessive fear of infinity Flex panel violations.

We have already said that the construction – glass and metal through – is strong and durable, with Well designed hinge and electrical shutdown system It works like a crown, preventing the Fold from opening when it shouldn't. The truth is that it is a little scary at first, but you can open and close Fold hundreds of times that nothing happens, it doesn't break.

As for its screen, it is weak given its composition and the plastic polymer cover, however It does not evaporate at first touch or explode when bending Often there is a kraal, and it is quite obvious as you will see in the picture above, however This is not visible to an open mobile phone and does not deter use, the digitizer works perfectly on the visual response.

A pleasant surprise, no doubt, because criticism had put him in disparadero and the first comment made me think of a more mobile he couldn't take to the streets. The question of expectations, I think, then you'll have to take care of it a bit but you can use it without fear breaking it in two weeks.

What does it give us when it works? Helpful?

You are one of the big questions of these new modes with a flexible screen, and that is no one is quite clear what the problems will solve or if in fact what they are solving is problems that no one had with the simple fact that it is possible to make mobile payments.

The truth is it is difficult to appreciate this point, especially since we've been exploring the terminal for a few days, but most of all because it's hard to put in the veiled requirements and new functionality of any market-opening device that brings us closer.

Little is what we have already seen with smartwatches, which has given you so many beats until they become devices focused on health and repair, and certainly there will be a lot more coming from these wrap categories as your market grows. Not surprisingly, Samsung itself will completely change its paradigm with its second iteration.

In the meantime, the best thing I've found in this Galaxy Fold use of content, which is a joy in this large format screen that can also be rolled up to comfort and function in various ways. The summary is that it is the same place the tablet on the smartphone and allow you to take a trip easily, which makes it easier and more convenient to read e-books, check out the news or just watch our favorite series on the subway.

Otherwise, does not solve any classic unresolved cut, and it's actually about Samsung's top-notch list lost the functionality of my priorities for this type of terminals, they are popular Galaxy Note S-Pen who is already a master of mobile production.

Samsung's great work with continuity between screens, we already noticed and the good mix is ​​amazing, but this too has an impact you should be aware of and that clearly shows that these projects are very green:

The key is that when you use the app on the external screen and turn on the cell phone, go to the flexible plastic bar to continue doing what you did – or watch the video – but the same doesn't happen when you turn off the cellphone because it's off.

The same goes for handling many things, and this Golden Fold offers on its big screen genuine multitasking for up to three applications that can be kept open at the same time as the picture shows, but then it becomes a real fire Not as helpful as it seems.

Maybe the Windows system might be friendly because we're so used to it, but open three apps at the same time I found it useful only for office tasks with big office software, small mail and a music player in one small box. Of course every teacher will have their own booklet and it is good to have, though I prefer windows that I lower and / or moved to my favorite table.

Besides, it affected me a bit for a design like this do not cause the hange to continue through the center

Also, the experience is like joining a mobile phone and tablet on one device, But what do you do with the tablet? Do you get more use than multimedia use? Well, that …

Working with another galaxy: Hardware and software

Golden Fold is the market leader in terms of segmentation

Here comes the good news for those who want to buy a Golden Fold, and that's it Samsung's best machine available for all shows which you can expect from a cellphone that costs 2,020 euros at its launch.

There is no better Hardware today, with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 that oversees the set and memory configuration some PCs are already looking for: 12 GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 512 GB of UFS 3.0 storage. It is easy for such a post ensure distribution and speed of best production Available in the mobile market.

They do not lie benches, which we have used a full battery to make sure the feeling of power is not just created but it is also completely reliable with computer tools:

Obviously we have not seen any energy problems not through multitasking, or when playing video games, or using deep memory. The Golden Fold can do everything, and prove it from the beginning without overheating There are no weaknesses.

Although far from something that seemed obvious, the truth is working like a phone is innocent except that when you talk you make it with a device smaller and bigger than usual. Either that, or you're talking on a phone that is not and that may, or may not feel right.

No problem now part operation or communication, to cover the same functionality as my Galaxy Note10 +. No problem with the senses, or any quality speakers with enough volume and outstanding feedback.

Two batteries, to survive a difficult day

Threatening batteries are not established, everything will work, of course This Galaxy Fold currently includes two modules of, for each part of the device, a set of up to 4,380 mAh of energy

The a priori is a liberal measure, though it may seem, but it is Such a device feeds on advanced hardware from the market not only on the screen, but on two panels for high resolution They are really hungry, one of them 7.3 inches.

The stats are much more understandable, and you can expect more from a smartphone with this size, but in a test that shows the power with PCMark Gold Fold stays in the gates for nine hours of continuous use, and independence on a difficult enough day to survive, but very little:

Samsung's first wrap is obvious fast charging, wireless charging and flexible charging, this time we didn't expect any less, but their details don't invite us to consider charging too many devices behind.

When we talk about actual use, in my case I use the phone to play, listen to music and respond to messages, in addition to using the Internet and controlling devices at home, so I can include myself in high-powered users. How long was the Gold Fold battery? Yes, disconnected in the morning, mobile returned to a nightly charging base of about 30% of the remaining volume.

It is enough for independence, with no better news on the smartphone that awaits the future. The future has yet to be dimmed a major problem for mobile devices and long-term lithium-ion technology reaches its zenith and is unavailable.

Great work with a single UI, respecting smoothness and continuity

The software component didn't provide us with too many surprises, Android 9 Pie is still available Waiting for your update to Android 10, stripping Android with Samsung One UI customization and the vertical overlay of the folded cell.

The experience is already known by any Galaxy smartphone, it is unique to anything, so it was already a popular experience and there is no learning curve. In any case, Samsung is always doing well in software and mobile that aims to change the paradigm it makes sense that we get different features.

All Samsung services including Bixby, Pay, Health or DeX present, accompanied by an event of particular development take advantage of mobile opportunities like this, with a large format panel.

Among the specific options are Eye Comfort Technology which allows the infinity Flex panel to adapt to the light conditions, it always provides the best response to the user wherever they are. There is also actual multitasking up to 3 applications at a time it's changing, but to me it's another star.

The mobile industry has been looking for years of revolutionary experience, too Samsung has found continuity with Android

It's easy to get used to seeing the notification on the external screen, and then turn on the phone to download the video sent to you again enjoy the full screen. That is an example, even though everything crashes when you turn off the screen and the phone does not donate same continuation but the opposite.

Android 10 will make it better, and I'm sure Samsung will continue to work with a local cell phone tracked so that your experience grows and provide answers to actual needs. As a first, significant result in software.

A popular experience with Samsung cameras

He category of cameras It's the most curious and complicated thing to process in this Galaxy Fold, and that in the end everything today is the most divisive, the most insightful, and here but not very important the first rollable phone in the market.

And I know, Samsung opted to install up to six sensors join the process of more and more and continue the experience of its highest potential. In fact, the main camera is similar to the Galaxy Note 10+ we analyze here with its three sensors, but here it doesn't come alone:

• Rear camera: Three times the MP in diameter (f / 1.5-2.4) & 12 MP TV (f / 2.4) & 16 MP ultrawide (f / 2.2), Dual Pixel PDAF, OIS autofocus, 2x optical zoom, bokeh, LED flash, 720p video @ 960fps

• Indoor: 10 MP twice in diameter (f / 2.2) & 8 MP in diameter (f / 1.9), sensor depth

• Front camera: 10 MP in diameter (f / 2.2)

In this case we don't want to seriously consider the possibilities of Samsung's triple module, and we've seen it work and do just as well this year as One of the best options on the market, probably behind Huawei Leica and iPhone 11, but they're pretty close to their answer:

It is undoubtedly the most creative room in all cases, with many opportunities and intuitive software with AI, shooting methods, filters, AR equipment for gunfire, shoot in the middle green many more

And as usual, here we leave you gallery of shooting images of Samsung Galaxy Fold in a variety of cases, to introduce yourself:

Infinity Flex Dynamic AMOLED and Dolby Atmos audio with AKG seal, can we ask for more?

If the cameras work really well, even though I have too many, the device works best when it comes to playing multimedia content, and at this stage no comparison is possible in the entire catalog of smartphones worldwide.

Samsung Galaxy Fold is the best mobile in the world to watch your favorite series, or to enjoy your favorite music video on YouTube – from Samsung they will give you 4 months for free on YouTube Premium-, or just install your Galaxy Buds and close your eyes with The high quality sound is signed by AKG and the Dolby Atmos dress.

And yes, The sound of this Galaxy Fold is outstanding whether we're talking speakers or headphones, that should not work orally, and that is no audio jack on the first Samsung mobile phone.

The screen is another side of high-quality multimedia, too Samsung here is unnerved with its claimed AMOLED technology which, at this time, converts 7.3 inches and a resolution of 2,152 x 1,536 pixels in 4,2: 3 format.

We will have them Eye Comfort Technology so that the panel automatically syncs to everything, and a HDR10 + ensures that the display of the content is complete, as well as the possibilities of configuration in read mode without the blue or selector light switch between actual or full response in a completely clean AMOLED style.

With this format and in my humble opinion, Golden Fold is not a production smartphone but rather the opposite, is a mobile device that will allow you to enjoy the best multimedia in the industry.
