What can surprise a folding phone for 159 thousand?

2 displays, 2 batteries and 6 cameras!

This fall, Samsung released the first device with a flexible screen. Galaxy fold circulation is limited, but they discuss the smartphone on every corner. The first parties in the UK, France, Germany and Singapore were sold in half an hour. Now Fold has been on sale in Russia. You can find the nearest store where the smartphone is available on the Samsung website. In the meantime, we will tell you what opportunities Galaxy Fold opens and why it is not like everyone else.

The smartphone folds! And laid out! It is impressive

A folding phone today is like a glass of coffee in the film adaptation : everyone will definitely pay attention to it. This is the first device of such a form factor and the only one that is officially available on sale in Russia. The creators of Galaxy Fold are clearly claiming to change the industry. Firstly, the device has two screens (external and main); Secondly, it is both a smartphone and a tablet. An external display with a diagonal of 4.6 inches can be controlled by one hand: check the fur notifications, respond to messages, take a photo or track the route on the map. But a wow effect occurs when the Galaxy Fold is revealed like a book, and the user gets access to a 7.3-inch display.

Samsung engineers worked on a flexible display for eight years: the first prototype was shown back in 2011 . Since then, the company has been working on an innovative polymer layer and screen, which is almost twice as thinner than the screens of ordinary smartphones. All these innovations were embodied in Galaxy Fold .

This is the largest Galaxy screen. At the same time, the smartphone easily fits in your pocket

The main screen in unfolded form is the largest among the Galaxy smartphones for today. And this is not just a display, but Dynamic Amoled - its brightness is enough to use a smartphone even with a scorching sun. The display supports the standard of brightness and contrast HDR10+ with dynamic color optimization, which provides realistic rich shades. Another screen knows how to suppress a blue glow, which interferes with falling asleep. The Galaxy Fold display is perfect to read the book, watch a new series or stick into games. At the same time, at any moment the smartphone can be closed by reducing it in half, and put, for example, in the pocket of the trousers.

Samsung engineers were inspired by how books and magazines are arranged. Galaxy Fold opens smoothly and naturally, while it has a complex hinge system of several mechanisms. The device is closed tightly, with a characteristic click. Before selling, Galaxy Fold was tested in the laboratory - within a week it was bent and bent 200 thousand times. This is approximately as if the user opened and closed the phone 100 times a day for five years.

You can use several applications. Simultaneously. On one screen!

The Galaxy Fold is not two separate screens: this is a single system. The developers of Samsung and Android jointly worked on the App Continuity - an interface that provides quick and organic switching applications from an external screen to the main one. If you read the Facebook tape on the outer screen and at some point you will open a smartphone, on the internal display the social network will open exactly in the same place-you do not have to foam to the desired status or commentary. The same thing will happen to any other application.

Another function - Multi Active Window - allows you to perform several things at once: on the main screen you can use three applications at the same time. For example, in one part of the screen you can open a Google calendar, in the other - a browser with the posters of events, and in the third - the mobile application of the bank. 12 GB of RAM quickly and smoothly help the phone and smoothly. And the built -in memory for 512 GB is enough for hundreds of applications, all personal photos and videos.

6 cameras for different modes - selfies, macro, panoramas and not only

Galaxy Fold has six different cameras. The first, built into the panel next to the outer screen, is responsible for quick selfies - they can be removed without opening the phone. The two chambers on the inner panel allows a selfie with a blurry background if the Galaxy Fold is open. Three cameras are mainly built into the outer part of the case - they turn the smartphone into a compact studio. Ultrashi -angle, wide -angle chambers and a telephoto lens allow you to remove anything equally well: panorama, portrait, still life, night landscape. The modes can be switched by one touch. The huge Galaxy Fold screen works as a viewfinder, and with an angle of an ultra -shirt lens view of 123 °, you do not need to constantly move away so that everything gets into the frame.

The charge is enough for the whole day. They can even share with clock and headphones

The new Samsung has not only two screens, but also two batteries with a total capacity of 4380 mAh. They are enough to use the device all day. The batteries were placed in both “halves” of Galaxy Fold so that their weight was distributed evenly and the smartphone is confidently lying in the hand. The intellectual battery mode is adjusted to the habits of the owner: for example, Galaxy Fold can disconnect inactive applications that are spent in the charge so that the user remains in connection with a longer one.

The energy of the smartphone is enough for other devices. For example, without any wires, Galaxy Buds headphones can be recharged from it (which are already included!), Galaxy Watch Active, as well as other devices with support for wireless charging. To do this, just put the gadgets on the phone.

Galaxy Fold is presented in two colors - silver and black, and costs 159,990 rubles. In the kit, a thin and durable cover of Kevlar is in the kit - the material from which the body border wishes is made. Another important bonus is the premium service. Firstly, users will be able to study and configure the smartphone along with the Samsung specialist under the Smart Service program. Secondly, a round-the-clock support center and the Samsung Mobile Service Center are available for them. Thirdly, users will receive the Samsung Care+certificate, which will replace the flexible display on special conditions in case of mechanical damage.
