Samsung Galaxy Fold review: after the break

Samsung is still launching the Galaxy Fold on April 26th, despite reports about problems with the screen. Despite those issues, our review answers the most important questions: does the screen, camera, performance, and software experience hold up?

1. No fewer than five review units have been broken so far.


2. I don’t really think it was the clay, but I might be wrong!


3. No matter what, it is VERY troubling to worry that anything could get inside the device. Just like Lew said: “I’m fairly confident that some substance on this hinge component could possibly work its way into the device. ... Maybe you have to baby it.”


Nobody wants to have to baby a phone!

The production quality on this particular video was crazy

Whether it is perfect or not, I can’t afford it anyway.

"It's just too small." 😂 I remember when the 4" iPhone 5 screen was too "big".

[mountainblanc]

Well, it's a first gen product, don't buy it, it's too expensive anyway.

Cant wait to get the fold phones in 2-3 generations, when they are much better.

[shamindrahewavithana]

And that’s why I will wait for the next more better and safe generation

The Verge: let's review this phone as if the screen doesn't break

Also the Verge: I'm gonna talk about how the screen broke this whole video review

[fiduanhaider]

The og dream is the "NOTE" getting the fold treatment and actually becoming a "NOTEBOOK"

[sheenpc]

The video making clip that showed last in the video...👌👌👌👌 nice

But I think Galaxy fold has strong potentiality to be nice phone in 2nd or 3rd gen.

I love how when every reviewer describes Bixby, they just say "It's Bixby"

[BWT]

Best review I've seen after all the busted review devices. Well thought out and non biased.

[McSNIFFERY]

I might not be purchasing this phone gen 1 but I am certain that it's the future

[purefoldnz]

I'll just wait for the Galaxy: Origami.

[PortfolioPL]

It looks great but clearly a first gen product. But very promising!

[ragej]

I think it would be cool if you guys tried building a computer

[ExticViru]

The permanant folding line in the middle of the screen would drive me crazy.

[TheHaters]

The Fold isn't a premium device. It's a Beta future concept device like Google Glass. You pay a premium to see the future.

Will it go the way Glass went? Well guess we'll have to wait.
