Samsung has set the course for the future in San Francisco. The company surprised with the folding smartphone Galaxy Fold.
Surprise at the Samsung presentation in San Francisco on Wednesday evening: The electronics company unveiled its new foldable smartphone Galaxy Fold for the first time. After already in November 2018 the first pictures of the display were shown, Samsung revealed now the complete device and supplied naturally also the detailed data to it. So the mobile phone is equipped on the front with a 4.58 inch display, the second 7.3 inch screen shows up only after unfolding. Six cameras are located on both sides of the device.
You can call up to three apps on the huge screen at the same time, Samsung predicts. For example, you can chat and watch videos at the same time. Inside, a 7-nanometer processor works. Also used are 12 gigabytes of RAM. Samsung fans will have to be patient until April 26, when the next generation of smartphones in the US will hit the market. The price: proud 1,745 euros.
Three new Galaxy S10 presented
In addition, Samsung also introduced three new Galaxy S10 smartphones in different sizes. The S10e with 5.8-inch screen, the standard 6.1-inch S10 and the large S10 + with a 6.4-inch display. What strikes at first glance: The devices have no screen recess for the selfie camera with 10 megapixels more, but a hole in the display in which the lenses weremounted. The two larger variants also have three more lenses on the back with a telephoto, a wide-angle lens and an ultra-wide-angle lens. In the S10e, however, was waived on the telephoto lens.
All three smartphones work with the Exynos 9820 processor and are said to have up to a third more computing power than the models currently on the market. The devices are expected to be available from March 8th. The S10 is then available in the colors green, blue, black and white, the S10e even in yellow. The S10 +, however, can only decide between white and black.
The prices are quite steep: The S10e will be available for a proud 749 euros, the S10 either for 899 euros in the 128-gigabyte memory version and for 1,149 euros for 512 gigabytes. With the S10 +, customers have to pay 1,249 euros for the “small” 512-gigabyte version, and even 1,599 euros for the absolute flagship with a terabyte.
