danswift Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I dread to think how much this will cost.According to the BBC news article I read a 4G version of the Galaxy Fold is set to go on sale on April 26 and will start at $1,980 (£1,515). A more expensive 5G edition was also promised. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-47277324 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 That's not really what I imagined... I thought it would be like a flip phone similar to a Razor but with a smart phone screen. Not like a fucking folding tablet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBearOne8III Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 i dunno. i'm starting to think that im getting to old for these new phones. i have no use for a folding screen. and i'm definitely going to break that shit. by the time you put a otterbox or life proof case on it, the damn thing is going to be the size of a laptop. i might consider getting one if you can run traktor pro on it though.

Steve Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 @Dirk - That's the sort of thing I'd be interested in. When the phone folds out, it's the size of regular large smartphone that you could buy now, but you fold it up when putting it in your pocket, which also protects the screens. I could see Nintendo making a cool handheld with this tech at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Burglar Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I can't buy it because of the shitty song in the ad. God awful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deft Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 An indestructible small phone that opened up to a bigger screen would be pretty good. I like using my larger screen but hate stuffing it in my pockets. Really ruins my tight skinny jeans look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd personally prefer a smaller version--one that folds up to about the size of a pager. Maybe with a back screen on it to check little notifications that come through.

Steve Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 The Huawei Mate X is very similar to the Samsung phone, but I think they've done a better job with it overall: - I still wouldn't buy one though, even if I could easily afford it.

TBearOne8III Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 the fold is delayed indefinitely. https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/22/18510871/samsung-galaxy-fold-release-delayed-display-screen-issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 It looks like they are now cancelling pre-orders, unless you specifically tell them you still want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBearOne8III Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 doh!!! i wonder how this is going to play out for Huawei and the rest of them. I always thought the fold was a bit rushed. I was also unaware at how long they have been developing this technology. but still, its a bad look for samsung in one way and a good look in another. I mean, the exploding galaxy notes really hurt them. at least they pulled the plug before the phones really got in the publics hands.

djdiggla Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I hate Samsung. They are the worst and their products are such shit. Or at least the ones I've bought which are mostly TVs and Bluray players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
