I feel like it's like a ultra wide monitor it's nice to have but you don't really need it
The COW is mad lew!
For 2000 you shouldn't have to be a beta tester just because Samsung rushed to be first into market the hinge shouldn't have gaps, that screen protector should be built in so it can't be removed etc just seems like this needed more r+d behind it before taking it to market failure on Samsung's part and a customer shouldn't be held to account cause guess what if you can't remove the screen protector…….. No one would have even known it was there and thought it was just the screen
A pointless video discussing a $2k flawed solution to a problem that doesn't exist
That color is just straight up doodoo
These videos are boring. First one was cool. The first one about the problems was cool. All the other – meh. This phone is revolutionary. BUT a revolutionary thing is always superceeded by an improved version, almost immediately. Why is no one asking "when the new version of such foldable phone comes out? Who's gonna be first to make the better version, samsung or someone else?" You're talking about how cool is the new tech, but then nitpicking "oh, there's a line. Oh, someone peeled the screen". not important . It folds in two, for gosh sake! It's f*cking incredible that it works at all! so the problems that you talked about vs the problems that you could've had is the ratio of 0.001%. The phone is basically a miracle.
Collab of the year so far? I think so…
I think Samsung should go back to the drawing board and release another galaxy core this year and give people a choice after modifications are made to the existing Galaxy fold or should I say fool and again it is ironic no reviewer caught this on tape and showed it

Dude, its not that serious. Price is the only factor. Otherwise its a tablet. Which many have. And it closes to a smartphone. Which most people have. Samsung and Huawei have built a better mousetrap, but its still a mousetrap. Its neat, but not revolutionary. It is the future of the market, however. The Samsung? Its great. If you have one and whip it out at parties and what not to show photos, etc? It will garner lots of attention. Otherwise it reminds me of a make up compact women throw in their purses, and sounds the same, too. The Huawei implementation is superior imo and has more of a wow factor. Either way they are foldable tablets that are also phones. As said, neat. Nothing more.
Nobody:
Galaxy Fold: Yes
Lew you are one of those people that look for these types of stories but only when it fits your narrative AKA anything negative about Apple.
You guys are viewing this wrong instead of a smartphone that’s folds to a a tablet but a tablet or laptop that can also be a phone and should be treated like you would a small laptop
no excuses it's a 2000$ phone..it has to be perfect !
The harshness Apple would have got if they made a folding smartphone.
I love the Gold one
I think that is the future of smartphones peoples are exaggerating
Best perspective so far
i m sorry, i cannot agree with your opening argument Lew, you have never made this point for an iPhone for example.
If i buy this and it breaks im gonna sue you guys
what i samsung won't make gen 2 i wanna buy this phone i fall in love with this new form factor and because of bad comments i just got scared to buy gen 1 fold
The main thing we need to remember these haven't shipped yet so until then its hard to judge as to whether the fold does have a problem or whether this has just been a fluke.
Here's my opinion, you're not going to like it:
It doesn't matter who made the device, or what generation it is – If you spent $2000 on something that's gonna break in a week, then it's a piece of hot garbage.
My problem with stuff like this is that it's trendy, and in the tech world, EVERYONE jumps on the new trends. Me? I still like sub 5.5" 16:9 screens and actual functionality. I got left behind a few years ago when manufacturers started stretching the screen out and taking away features and cutting parts of the screen out. I'm fine with the way phones were, but I would have liked bigger improvements. I don't care if a phone is a few millimeters thicker to house a much larger battery that can last 2-3 days, or sizeable bezels that have a fingerprint scanner and good, stereo speakers. And you know, maybe ditch the glass back for a durable plastic so dropping the phone doesn't give you a heart attack. Also with skyrocketing prices, I can't justify buying a phone. How can you justify buying a phone for $1000 when you can get something with the same parts for $300? So when I see stuff like this, the idea of getting something more robust and full featured gets further away.
How does anyone benefit from this? People have to buy dongles, or buy new headphones because there's no headphone jack. Phones cost way more than they should. Dropping a phone 2 feet from the ground can destroy it. Part of our view is blocked by screen cutouts. Fingerprint scanners that worked very well are now being moved to the back of devices which I think isn't the best placement, or they're being removed and replaced with some other unlocking option. etc.
So tell me again how we benefit from these innovations?
cough BS cough POS cough
Did people even watch this video? The reason they are giving the Galaxy Fold more leeway is because of the ambitiousness and uniqueness of the product, not the brand. –_– aaaaand people these days…lol

Gentlemen I'm a diehard Samsung use I will buy nothing else but Samsung got this one wrong they should have know that this phone could have problem for regular users. There should have been a disclaimer that it needed to handle differently than other smartphones
Last but not least I want to see all the unknown the one that went by on camera either ride with the mob Houston made you or stay with the company that page Point Blank
100 units out there of galaxy fold.. thats $200k plus perks from Samsung to the media
But what about quality control?
This is gonna be a horrible post launch…
