ONE of the most anticipated phones this year, the Samsung Galaxy Fold has finally reached Malaysian shores.

This revolutionary device is designed to inspire new mobile experience with its two screens - a 7.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED display (when unfolded) and a 4.6-inch HD Super AMOLED screen when folded.

The Galaxy Fold combines users’ favourite smartphone and tablet features to deliver a first-of-its-kind user experience - from a new form factor and materials to its unique foldable user experience, versatile camera and premium performance.

“The category-defining Galaxy Fold is a device that defies the barriers of traditional smartphone design. Now, we’re excited to release this pioneering mobile technology, and allow consumers to experience it for themselves,” said Yoonsoo Kim, President of Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

Twice the fun

The two screens give users the ability to use it as as a phone as well as a small tablet for productivity tasks and entertainment.

When closed, you can access your essentials on the cover display comfortably with one hand, and when opened, you can explore new ways to multitask, watch videos, play games, and more, on its immersive screen.

Besides that, the Galaxy Fold also transforms how you capture, share, and edit mobile content.

For example, when closed, you can shoot a quick video, and then simply open the device to watch it on a larger screen - with App Continuity, the video seamlessly transitions from the cover display to the main display.

And with Multi-Active Window, you can run multiple apps at once in real-time and effectively multitask: Edit footage, browse through the photo gallery for still shots, and read emails from friends and co-workers, all at the same time.

Six cameras

The Galaxy Fold also features the most cameras in a device with 6 cameras in total - three rear cameras, two front camera in 7.3-inch mode, and one selfie camera when folded.

And to ensure a longer use, the device comes with a 4380mAh dual battery.

The Galaxy Fold comes with exclusive access to specialised customer care services – including one-on-one access to Samsung experts, and a 24/7 support hub online or over the phone.

Availability and price

The Galaxy Fold is priced at RM8,388 and comes with a 12GB RAM with 512GB internal storage. There are two colour options - Cosmos Black and Space Silver. The device also comes packed with the new Samsung Galaxy Buds.
