After years of waiting, about a week before the Mobile World Congress 2019, Samsung finally made the Galaxy Fold — its first ever foldable smartphone — official.
However, ever since the South Korean tech giant announced the foldable phone, it has been very stingy about sharing any details about the phone, except that it will hit the shelves in April this year.
But with Huawei previewing the Mate X, this little detail about the Galaxy Fold feels too less. But thanks to leaks and benchmark listings, last week we did hear about the probable specification of the foldable phone.

Now, a person has got his hands on the Galaxy Fold early and has revealed some tidbits about the phone in a long Twitter thread.
EU Samsung Galaxy Fold definitely has the Snapdragon 855, says someone who got one early. They can’t show pictures/videos, but are taking questions. Got any?

Now, this tweet thread reiterates that the device doesn’t actually fold completely flat. It’s more like a binder in that it leaves a tiny gap between the two display sides when closed.
Q: Does it fold completely or is it like a binder?
A: More like a binder, it leaves a small gap.

But what about that gap that the fold leaves behind? Does it leave a crease? Does it look weird?
He says it’s noticeable but not too bad.
