The Galaxy Fold represents more than eight years of design, engineering, and brand new tech, just to realize a phone with a flexible screen that works. We’re talking new malleable adhesives and complicated composite polymers made specifically to support the bendy display. And now after months of teasing, I’ve finally gotten a chance to check one out in the flesh. And despite its nearly $2,000 price tag, the Galaxy Fold is proof that the whole bendy phone trend could be more than just a fad.
From the first touch, the Galaxy Fold feels solid. It emits a super satisfying snap you every time you close the phone, something that echoes the best thing about flip phones from back in the day. But the other thing you notice before even opening the phone is how long the Galaxy Fold is—it’s a true candy bar of a handset
From there, you can either use the exterior “cover screen” as you would any other smartphone, although its 4.6-inch display means you’re a bit limited on real estate. Of course, that’s where that big flexible screen comes in because as soon as you open up the phone, whatever was on the outside is suddenly inside on the device’s bendy 7.3-inch display.
And if you’re a heavy multitasker, things only continue to get better, as you can then swipe in the from the right side of the screen to get a little row of apps that let you open up to three different apps at once.
