Before Samsung’s big event today, just about anyone who’s been paying even a little attention knew that it was planning to announce its foldable smartphone.
As expected, the company revealed a device aptly named the Galaxy Fold. It pretty much matched up with all of the rumors, right down to the size of the displays.
The Galaxy Fold is one part phone, one part tablet, all parts expensive. The device is scheduled to release with a staggering price of $1,980.
It comes with two separate screens—a smaller 4.6-inch AMOLED secondary display and a much larger 7.3-inch Infinity Flex AMOLED screen that will be revealed when the device is unfolded. Once you’re in the 7-inch plus size, you’re bordering on a device that’s closer to a tablet than a phone. However, the foldable design here makes this more portable than your average tablet.
The 4.6-inch screen comes with a 21:9 aspect ratio with a resolution of 840 x 1,960.
