The Samsung Galaxy Fold Is Great... If You Live in a Bubble | WSJ

Samsung’s relaunched foldable phone fixes some of the first issues but now comes with a long list of warnings about handling the phone carefully. WSJ's Joanna Stern retreats to a sealed dome in the woods to review the innovative device.

3:11 I love how her mom said "I am really beginning to worry about you"

[Mree]

One thing is very clear- she really loves her hotdog.

Damien: "Hi, welcome to Samsung premier service my name is Damien, who do I have the pleasure of speaking with today?"
Joanna: "Hi, My name's Joanna... will you be my friend?"
Damien: " *I'm sorry, what?* "

Still bought it. My last phone lasted me 4yrs. It's all down to how responsible you are with electronics and how frequently you open it in a moving environment. If you're a construction worker this phone is not for you but for an office dweller it's safe and fun enough.

This was the best negative review a phone could get. It was the opposite (as far as production value) of Flossy Carter’s review but made the exact same points. Any folding screen will always be more fragile than tempered glass. If you need the immersive experience that bad get a Galaxy s10 and a Galaxy Tab and you come out at least $500 ahead.

I notice that the intro was like cinematic trailer..

[carolynfrieson]

So happy I don't need her recommendation. I have the Fold and it is great! And it's not as fragile as some of these reviewers make it out to be. Totally in love with mine!

[pg]

Wow.. this lady clearly has personal issues with Samsung..

[xrhxezu]

Just eat hotdogs and stay there forever!

[joo]

Galaxy Fold: I thought we broke up
This chick: I'm not done yet! God I hate you!! I hate you!!

[ottokern]

Even I as a German without a sense of humour find this pretty hilarious)

[glitchyg]

Extremely innovative design and concept how ever it's not a mass market product in its current state.
This has the potential to be the next big step in smartphones but only if it can get past the durability issues.
She was right to give it a negative review.

[fjuvo]

I almost screamed when she dropped the Fold!!!

[Sultan.a]

Just because this phone made by samsung makes a lot of people crazy and unrealistic, sorry your favorite apple will never risk doing something new

[rajat]

I think you're really screwing up the review. The iPhone 6 and 4s that I use aren't dust or water resistant, the Samsung Galaxy j2 isn't dust or water resistant - I use all three phones and to be honest I don't need a bubble to use it. This is why reviewers like Marcus Brownlee and Unbox Therapy exist. Get the job done instead of focusing on the fragility. Y'all find it tempting to put hot dogs in middle of phones, peel display layers, and then go on to slam Samsung. Shame, really
Oh and you intentionally drop phones lol

[TechxGremlin]

This video had so much potential! Even if a product like this isn't perfect, one should be focusing on the positives and the innovation that this product is bringing to the table.

[daysunho]

She is complaining a BMW Z4 convertible because it's not like Ford F-150. I think she is just using the Fold for remarketing herself.

Why most of American medias keep pouring out all negatives on
new tech born from limitations of physics? They are all biased and exaggerating. Anyway, this product is basically non mass- production item. Only enthusiasts can get one

[kylepadilla]

To everyone,
1. every reviewer will note the complaints for the companies to know what is wrong
2. Do you know comedy?
3. These can be good for the manufacture so that it ensures that the second model will have few to no complaints
Got it

[jywxpmv]

Haha, I admire your efforts.
I wonder what you say when the iPhone fold comes out.
By the way, are you a YouTuber?
